Costa Coffee Tiverton - Mid Devon

Thursday 29th December and we visited this popular branch of Costa Coffee along Bampton Street in Tiverton. Before ordering our coffees we found a place to sit at the window seating overlooking the street. A great place to sit and watch the world pass by outside. The shopfront, with it's many small sized panes of glass, had an old world feeling. We ordered our coffees, two flat whites, which were £6.30. At the time of our visit there were two members of staff working, one taking the orders and payments, the other preparing the beverages. It was not the quickest service and the staff were certainly not in line for any customer service awards, however it was a good cup of flavoursome coffee

A clean place, staff a little bit off for my liking. Like they can’t be bothered. Coffee and cake good but pricey as one would expect

I encounter a rude, fair haired young girl who I could not hear as she spoke softly and too quick for me….I had to ask more than once what the drink was and when I left she muttered ‘Jesus’ under her breath. Not impressed being abused at Costa in front of other customers! Happened at 1400 18th June. Latte and an Energiser I will be having at Starbucks going forward! Grrrr!

Okay, so Costa has been around for a good while now, and yes, we take for granted a certain look, menu and level of service. That standard is pretty darn good overall in my experience, but it does become 'normal '. The difference in the Tiverton branch has been the team who run it, their friendliness, enthusiasm and efficiency. That, and my love if a cortado, keeps this as my regular coffee shop!

Always get good service, this is a popular place to have coffee, the venue is nearly always full. Reasonable prices for drinks and cakes etc, also able to get takeaways
