For the kind of person who plays with fire, knowing they might get burnt.
Great food, dodgy kitchen. You know the risks. Pack Imodium and pray.
Costa Coffee might be a household name, but this branch is a bit of a mixed bag. Hygiene is a solid 2, which is a shame because the coffee hits the spot. You can expect a decent brew, but don't go expecting the pristine environment of a fairy tale café. The staff are generally friendly, with Lili standing out for her knowledge about gluten and lactose-free options.
However, you might have to brace yourself for the occasional rude manager who seems to have missed their morning coffee. And let’s talk prices—£3.50 for a standard white coffee in a paper cup? That’s highway robbery. You might leave feeling a bit mugged, but hey, at least you got your caffeine fix.
If you're in a pinch and need a caffeine hit, sure, swing by. Just don't expect a five-star experience—it's more like a caffeine-fueled gamble at a dodgy casino.
