Costa Cafe - Colchester

We enjoy dining at Costa, but we have found that in Waterglade Industrial Estate, their deliveries are often late and they frequently run out of food. As a result, we often opt to travel to the larger shopping center instead.

Costa is a more popular choice than the nearby Café Nero, located in shopping centers, busy high streets, and convenient for a quick break or pick-me-up after shopping. Costa at the top of the Tollgate is the go-to option when there are limited café options available. Please refrain from mentioning McDonald's coffee, as Costa is a superior choice in my opinion.

My friend and I both had the filet mignon which was excellent and was cooked exactly as ordered. we shared the wedge salad which was mediocre at best. The bacon was a strip cut in half. Presentation was lacking. The atmosphere was very plain and lacked ambiance... Felt cold as opposed to warm and inviting. Prices were a bit high. The server was very good and as I said the main course of filet mignon was cooked to perfection.

Nice food at a little expensive prices. Good service. Usually crowded. Overall I would recommend it.

Don’t come here for a good meal. Come here for a great meal. Yes. Great.
