Every time I go to this Costa in Goldsworth Park, which isn’t very often anymore, as it’s gone right down hill over the last 1-2 years!

It's a pretty sad set up that's encroached on the tiny amount of square open space outside the shopping parade and has become, essentially, a smokers' haunt for people who don't mind inflicting their disgusting haze on passers by. Not the best Costa but it could be improved dramatically by abolishing the outside seating area. The interior is nice - medium brightness, decent decor and leg stretching space with near...
