I went to this store for a flat white to take on the train. There was a young girl working alone with a queue to the door so my drink took longer than expected (to no fault of hers as I could see how hard she was trying to work). However, I saw another member of staff, a man with a ponytail, loitering in a back room even after seeing the queue and disappearing into another which is unacceptable.

Rather than the smooth, creamy texture expected - they were chunky with ice, little to no blending, and lack of any real flavour as expected from Costa's usual great service. Needless to say, we won't be returning anytime soon. Unfortunately I didn't get the member of staffs name as he does need...
