I was lining up to pay for my toasted sandwich when the young girl serving took my order and I was that the breakfast sandwiches sat next to the counter were marked half price.

Prices have risen but COSTA charges for extras and these can be eye watering, 2x marshmallows 50p, cream 25p.
Overall I do like COSTA, but they need to look at helping their customers with their prices. There is a COST OF LIVING CRISIS and people and families...
