I love this branch of Costa. Its always clean and tidy no matter how busy it is, you can see the pride that goes into this establishment. The staff are really friendly and chatty, I feel as if I know them all personally, and they always remember my order. I feel as if this coffee shop gives off an old fashioned pub vibe, the kind where all the locals get together to have a catch up, there's a real sense of community.

If you have never been to a Costa you get a nice selection of coffee sourced ethically and that is represented in the price you pay...

Whatever choices you make I'm sure you will enjoy your coffee. And why not try something new they are always doing...

Have visited rugeley costa many time but on this occasion on 31st oct 2013 11:30am my experience was not the usual costa standard I am used to. 1 - approx 10 mins to make 1 latte (1 customer infront of me with 3 staff) 2- waited 10 mins for my table to be cleaned ( I moved these myself and wiped clean my table, the items are still on the other where I put them half an hour into my visit) 3- 2 stone cold breakfast baps were handed to me and my children (returned them and they were re heated with sub standard apology. Doesn't seem to be any sort of management or face of authority. Staff seemed to be ill trained or...
