Have visited twice in the last week - first time was when there was a members offer, second time a few days later.
Being in the hospital, both times it was very busy, especially for its size, but staff were quick, friendly & lovely. They didn’t stop the entire time I was there &, considering they were constantly serving multiple people, the service was as quick as any other coffee shop I’ve been to (inc other branches)
Second time I tried tipping but they said there was no way for them to take tips (which is disappointing).

Makes a miserable reason for having to be at hospital, just that little bit more miserable, when the staff treat you like they'd rather be doing literally anything else than serve you. Unwilling to make my coffee like I have it in every other Costa I go to. "computer says no" comes to mind. Also you aren't allowed to use reuseable cups, would be good to know why this rule has to be in place? I hate having to use...
