    It is located on the mezzanine floor of 'The View' mall which is the same building as Overjar and Burger Boutique. Parking is relatively easy as building has a good parking lot unless it is crazy crowded. Has sitting for 55 people. Service and quality are typical Costa fare.

    Open from 6am till midnight. Great service and cosy. Opened in October 2018. Whilst the coffee is not great, the overall experience makes this a nice stop with a friend or family member.

    Excellent location. Other than that it just another Costa.

    This latte is by far the worst coffee I've had in a long time, and I thought I’ve had few bad ones in the past few weeks. If I know anything about coffee, and if I have learned anything all the coffee readings I’ve done and youtube videos I’ve watched, and all the excellent specialty coffee places I go to, like Toby’s and Arabica, then coffee should not taste bitter in such an unpleasant way at all if it was made right. Have you ever had a coffee from a Nespresso machine that is very old and was probably never cleaned at some lousy office? Yeah, that tastes exactly the same, smacks you in the gut.

I stopped drinking coffee after a few sips, I just gave up and did not want to spend my time having such a bad drink. I guess that’s it, the new players win. If you ever wanted to have real coffee (not the sugary bombs), the just hit Arabica, or Toby’s, or even Ananas right next building at Symphony and Arjan. They’re all in the same area and their coffee is just perfect and prepared beautifully.

The only good thing about this place is the place itself, which is not news given that Costa and Starbucks are made to be comfortable places. But even that is not as good as what other Costa stores look and feel like. It's old and worn out. However, they have the best view compared to all the coffee shops around, and you can see that in the picture. View Mall has a basement paid parking, so you can park inside and take the elevator straight to Costa. It can’t get better than this in the summer, but you can also do the same for Toby’s and Arabica with a small walk of 10 seconds maybe in the outdoor to reach symphony mall. If you’re looking for a place to set your laptop and work on it, this is definitely a good one, but what’s the point if their coffee is that bad? I came here to work but also to have acceptable coffee. The coffee turned out bad, so I just ate my snacks and couldn’t wait to leave.

    The food is dry and stale with a horrible taste. Almost inedible. The staff aren’t accommodating whatsoever and you have to beg for utensils and napkins after being told to wait repeatedly in a rude manner. Completely unprofessional and unacceptable. You can hear the staff very loudly chat and mock customers, completely disturbing the environment and making it uncomfortable for everyone. Hate this specific branch.
