I recently visited Costa Riverside in Northampton, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfying. While the riverside setting was lovely, the quality of the drinks seriously let the visit down.
I ordered a Black Forest hot chocolate with cream and a cappuccino, but both were disappointing. The Black Forest hot chocolate lacked the indulgent flavor I was expecting, with a watered-down taste that felt far from the festive treat it should have been.

Read moreI love costa coffee and have always been happy to leave 5 star ratings, Unfortunately not today. I take my parents to various costas at least twice a week.

I asked for a breakdown of costs I had 2 drink, he said I had 3 as I had a bottle of coke which I didn't, he then said you definitely do, my mum was very upset.

I think we will stick to the Sixfields Costa and the Riverside Next Costa where the service is impeccable and the staff are helpful and friendly. Shame on you for causing upset and such disrespect to...
