COSTA COFFEE

Costa Coffee is your reliable pitstop when you need caffeine and a cozy atmosphere. The drinks are usually on point, and the staff here seem to know a thing or two about service—big ups to George for making sure you feel like royalty. But, let’s be real, it’s still just a chain coffee shop. You can expect decent brews and snacks, but sometimes the pastries might resemble something that’s been around since the last Olympics.

The vibe is friendly, and the cleanliness is commendable, but don’t go expecting any artisan magic here. It’s a solid choice if you’re in the area, just don’t be surprised if the cakes leave you wondering if they were baked yesterday—or last week.
