Costa - Central Bedfordshire

Staff did not clear the tables very effectively therefore dirty trays were left in tables surrounding ours. The queue was quite long and even after ordering we had to queue again for our drinks/food to be given to us. The cafe itself was a little grubby and the toilets also smelt bad...

First visit to Ampthill and it's Costa Coffee Shop. Situated in a thoughtfully converted ex. bank building there is an outside deck area which I would imagine in the summer is a comfortable area to sit and relax. Friendly welcoming staff and well made cappuccino's made this one of the better recent visits to the Costa chain.

I like Costa, cakes could be bigger size for the price. Coffee and cake always tastes nice. Service is always pleasant from any member of staff. Sometimes the floor and be very messy in the afternoons. Toilets are always clean when I have been, sometimes there can be a lot of water on the floor as the hand dryer is in with u. Would still come back to get a coffee and cake.

Being a regular morning visitor I'm never disappointed. Most chain coffee shops are slow and unfriendly, luckily we have a Costa in Ampthill that is speedy and provides great service!

Standard Costa but needs some attention to hygiene and cleanliness. Seemed to be lacking a manager.Tables not cleaned down, bits of food on the floor and just films of dust in places like when someone is used to doing the same round of cleaning and other bits don't get done. Likewise in the toilets.
