Butties - Waterlooville

So a freezing cold day in early January, and my car is going for a service and mot. Will take at least a couple of hours i'm told... I dont know the area but thought I would walk and see what I came across. After around 10 minutes, I could smell roasted coffee, and in the distance I could see the costa logo. Warmth woohoo! In I head, to be greated by a very friendly female member of staff, who enquired about my day I explained why I was in the area, she told me not to rush which I thought was really nice. I have my medium special blend cappucino with a shot of caramel lovely and a toasted sausage bap also really nice. I sat on a comfy chair, I used the free wifi, and read The Times (how civilised). I spent about 1.5 hours there and for £6 I thought it was a bargain really. Whilst there I watched the two female members of staff, and I was impressed at the dedication they showed to their roles, talking about what they needed to do next, always making the time to say hello and show interest in their customers. Ultimately, its not just a good cup of coffee that makes a venue, it is also the overall enviroment and I would recommend based on my experience today.

Amazing, recently the road away from here, popped for a quick coffee with a friend, ended with 2, beautiful and quiet, with a lot of sitting in and out.

The staff is incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxed, making it a great place to sit quietly and work on a crossword puzzle.

The beautiful Costa is perfect for a quick visit. There are plenty of seats inside, and it never feels overcrowded, likely due to its location on the old A3 London Road. It’s a pleasant walk, especially when the weather is nice. The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming. There's also a lovely little outdoor seating area, which is popular among dog walkers.

I visit this restaurant every week with my partner, and we absolutely love it. The staff is wonderful, and the coffee and cake are always delicious.
