Costa Coffee — Restaurant in Maidstone

Costa Coffee is Costa Coffee, you know what your going to get in terms of food and drink(which I will say is good as always) it’s the rather long que that is a slight inconvenience but nothing nobody can’t handle (at of time of writing my foot is in a brace and it did become slightly painful during so, but otherwise it’s not a problem.

I’m fond of the food and drink, especial during this season as the new seasonal menus have been released. As you can see in the photo I am drinking a maple hazel hot chocolate, which is very well balanced and I will be having again. Also the bacon and Brie baguette, which I believe is available all year round, and is tasty as usual.

Additionally, the specialist distrust requirement options are few and far between, but this is a problem with the chain rather than the individual branch, I believe we found a packet of crisps and a small brownie for my partner who has a gluten free diet.

Pretty big Costa inside Next. Lots of seating but it is quite popular so is nearly always busy - be prepared for a queue.

But if you are shopping or just not in a rush then it's a very pleasant environment to sit and have a drink and a snack. High chairs are available, staff always seem friendly and with a full range of Costa food and drink. It is located on the first floor at the front of the store overlooking the car park. There are stairs, an escalator and a lift in the store for accessibility. Toilets, including accessible and baby change, are provided by Next at the back on the same level...
