Very excited another coffee shop opened up in West Midtown! Things you should know: I. PARKING No, parking here is NOT free. No, they do NOT validate parking. Behind Costa Coffee is an apartment complex called Live 8 West Apartments. I'd type that into Google Maps because that's where you're going to park and prepay for your time at Costa. The walk isn't far and the parking garage is new and well maintained; you'll feel secure about leaving your car there. I've visited that garage a countless number of times & haven't had any issues, but play it safe and hide your valuables / lock your vehicle. A four hour stay for us costed $12.50. II.

This is unacceptable I’ve been coming here since January 2023 and me and my money don't feel appreciated. I asked for clarification on the pricing this morning and the cashier gave me an attitude . All in all in disappointed and I will not be returning due to the inconsistency , customer service, and unprofessional from the staff.
Instead of fixing the problem they send out and automated message for you to DM them and no one every gets back to you. Stay away from...

Wifi has since dried up and there’s been a noticeable negative correlation between the time since their opening and the standard of their coffee.
