Great place to study and have meetings. Manager Manuel kindly turned down music for me so I could hear my teacher more clearly and then came to my table to check it was OK. Rare to have such good attention in a chain, even though Costa staff are usually good.

Visited the cafe for the first time today after my son’s swimming session, I didn’t realise that I had forgotten my purse but I had my AMX card registered with apple pay. We asked for a sandwich for my son but they would not accept AMX pay & I realised that I did not have my purse at that point. Was very embarrassed & apologised but they had already warmed up our sandwich. The lady at the til (i think she was the manager) was very sweet & kind & offered us the sandwich anyway. Thank you & god bless you

Just the job after a punishing exercise regime if you are not on student loan. Putting back the calories is perhaps not a good idea. Once in a while for a treat is fine. Prices are not suited to full-time students and the choices of food is limited for me as most are non-Halal.

Nicely managed outlet. Staff were constantly going round cleaning and tidying. Has very nice seats and good views out onto the surroundings.
