Costa Coffee - Croydon

Theyoffer a large range of cakes and toasted sandwiches. many coffees to choose from. An ideal place to pop in for a breakfast before starting a shopping trek. I had a very tasty cheese and sundried tomato toastie. Staff always very pleasant

My visit to this very small Costa Coffee in East Croydon station was extremely disappointing. I ordered my coffee and toasted sandwich then sat down. The Barista/Maestro was too busy restocking shelves to actually serve customers. So as each item was ready I had to go and collect it myself. This was made more difficult as he shoved chairs in front of where I was sitting, impeding my route to the bar. The food was served not on a plate but in a paper bag I expect this in McDonalds, not in a premium coffee shop. It was messy to unpick the food from the paper it was stuck to. Not sure I was wholly successful. And there 's no WiFi! What kind of a coffee shop has no WiFi? Only go there if you 're desperate because it is truly an awful experience. Rude staff and high prices.

Costa did it again with a delicious Latte, served in my personal cup which helped me save a little money. Great job Costa!

I previously enjoyed a delicious Ruby Cocoa hot chocolate at Costa in Stratford, so I decided to try it again at the East Croydon location. Unfortunately, the drink did not come in a glass cup like it did in Croydon. The taste of the Ruby hot chocolate at this location was disappointing, as it lacked flavor. All I could taste was the milk, with only a faint hint of Ruby cocoa.

The service at this restaurant is consistently quick and efficient. The staff and manager Bartek are very friendly and helpful. The coffee tastes delicious every time. I appreciate that they start working early in the morning, always with a smile.
