My first encounter with Costa Coffee was the Portsmouth branch, upstairs in Ottakars (now Waterstones) bookshop. A cafe inside a bookshop seemed a great idea, especially as there were armchairs bordering the cafe area where you could sit and look at books while you enjoyed your drink. Needless to say, however, it was so popular that it was often impossible to find a table if you wanted one, especially around lunchtime.

i actually work for costa as a manager and i have to agree that yes the price may be on the higher side but you dont pay extra to drink in store!! OUR COFFEE IS THE BEST BLEND!!! its not weak like starbucks or neros, we can make any drink in decaff or fairtrade and with skinny milk or whole milk! what quite alot of people dont realise we have 3 sizes of drinks and our small is actually the same size as starbucks medium so it might cost more but you get good value for money!! Yes the staff can get a little irritated at times but so would you if u have to serve 800+ customers face to face a day who all know best! so give them all a break guys! they work hard!! and try their best!

The "have a nice day" mentality makes me almost as queasy as there strange coffee combinations and weird mugs which are surely designed for body builders with shovel hands? It was therefore a great relief to me when it was Costa Coffee, rather than Starbucks that won the tender for the shopping space in my adopted home town of Ormskirk. Rather sadly the grand opening in ...
