    Been to many a Costa Coffee and this particular shop has by far the rudest staff and the dirtiest toilets. I'm sure some of the staff are lovely, but there are a couple who seem to think are headmistresses of a school during the Victorian era. Ordering people around with a tone that wouldn't look out of place coming from Miss Trunchball from Matilda at the West End. Must make them feel mightily powerful. You work in a coffee shop. I'm not demeaning the job, but get a grip and please don't take out any inferiority complexes you may have on people that want a hot chocolate. Have a word with yourself next time you are at home in front of the mirror practicing your tough guy routine, or when you're in the garden practicing shot put.

    Ordered two flat whites. We were just passing time before a meal and an evening show. Served quickly however the coffee's were so cold with that temperature you wouldn't bath a baby. We just drunk it anyway. I felt I had to let them know. To the staffs credit I was offered another or a refund or a cake which I refused time was against us. However I didn't expect the boss to say sometimes the machine does that. In hindsight I didn't see the milk being steamed therfore I think the milk was cold.

    Was Ok. The oat milk was sold out so I chose almond milk instead. The staffs were busy talking instead of making coffee quickly.

    great location w standard interior. you look at the staff working very hard and just wonder why making a cuppa takes so long ? cos every single step of make a cuppa they need to walk a few steps... poorly designed worktop arrangements. as expected... coffee from Costa nowadays... no matter what you have ordered... all taste like milk ? I have ordered a cappuccinno which doesn't smell or taste like coffee at all...

    Typical city centre Costa. Everything as you would expect. Quite quiet on Thu morning so plenty of seats. Managed to nab a socket to plug my bike battery in.

  • 3/5 Annie K. 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered a pumpkin spice latte for the staff member to exclaim “that’s Starbucks”. I didn’t realise Costa don’t do a pumpkin spice latte and it’s no problem at all but I felt that delivery was a little poor since many other coffee shops and cafes have this flavour in October. Even Greggs has this flavour so I felt it was a little rude for him to reply with literally only “that’s Starbucks”, no alternative recommended, nothing else said. (I later saw they have their own seasonal flavours). I ordered a vanilla latte and had to return to the counter with it as the barista by her own admission forgot to put the vanilla in. Again, just feel the service lacking there as she knew when I went back before I said anything that she hadn’t put the flavour… but no one made any attempt to rectify that before I came back. Coffee and muffins were lovely, perhaps the staff were having an off day.

    Terrible service, messy, dirty 4 people in and nobody clearing tables. Coffee was under extracted and weak

  • 5/5 Lauren Lillian H. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything in the disabled bathroom was up to code, no tied up/cut short emergency cord etc, clear signage, plenty of bars to brace on, and back padding to be comfortable whilst on the toilet which was a good height. Soap etc was well stocked and it was quite clean. Was also able to use my radar key easily and there was a ramp up into the shop and plenty of wheelchair space.

  • 5/5 Lars Skotnica de L. 2 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Robert N. 4 years ago on Google
    Coffee was so watery and bitter,no potion of filter coffee,environment not comfortable or cosy like a coffee shop should be,far to bright not very inviting and had to clear the table myself.

  • 1/5 Keith F. 11 months ago on Google
    I've been there on multiple occasions where I've waited in a decent queue, ordered, THEN been told that they aren't accepting contactless or only accepting cash. It seems that this is a persistent issue, and at the very least a sign needs to be posted BEFORE getting in the queue while looking at their obnoxious TV screen menu for 48 minutes because it changes to an advert while you're trying to see what you want. If it wasn't for their convenient and pleasant location I'd never go there - luckily, there is a cozy Caffè Nero directly across from it.

  • 3/5 Shaw K. 8 months ago on Google
    Not particularly impressed. Generic costa in a good location but the place was understaffed, long waiting time and a bit dirty. Card machine wasn't working, some internet issue which seems to be a recurring thing.

  • 1/5 Ahmad G. 7 months ago on Google
    Poor management. Informed the staff about the flies that were sitting on the sweets, and the guy said, "I will inform the management." And done nothing. Even did not bother to push flies away. All sweets are in open area. So dirty.

    It was a very busy Sunday, but the tall guy with blonde hair smashed it! He had like 5 coffees on the go! But still got my order spot on, cheers!

  • 4/5 Michelle A. 8 months ago on Google
    This is a busy Costa, but runs efficiently. The food is the usual fare and the coffee is as standard. It's very convenient to access being on Sauchiehall Street, and has good wheelchair access being on the level.

  • 5/5 Peter C. 6 months ago on Google
    Staff very friendly. Forgot to get my change but the young lady called me over. Honesty, you can't beat it. That's service for you.

  • 5/5 Allez M. 5 months ago on Google
    Very busy on my visit the morning and orders were flying through fast. Well done to the young fair haired barrista who still took the time to put together the drinks with care. It cant be easy doing that many drinks in a short space of time but he was doing a great job. My cappuccino was perfect.

  • 3/5 Kyfer S. 4 months ago on Google
    Very over priced drinks..We had hot chocolate with some cream and mallows of which 3 mallows were supplied in small cup separately £4.70 a drink. Too expensive for what was given. Taste was nothing special. Staff i encountered were cheerless, like robots. One of the front doors is smashed in and covered in tape. Mirrors on wall needing a good clean as they're all smeared, never been cleaned properly by looks of it.

  • 3/5 Peter M. 11 months ago on Google
    You know what to expect with Costa and nothing is different with this one, toilets weren't the best on this visit but did the job

  • 2/5 David P. 4 years ago on Google
    Great service and nice coffee. But the decor is tired and dirty as was the floor. The gents toilets were very smelly. Unless you are desperate I'd try and find a nearby costa that's been given a bit more love

  • 5/5 Leslie W. 1 year ago on Google
    Like most coffee shops it got loud really quickly. Staff and coffee spot on as always.

  • 5/5 John W. 1 year ago on Google
    After watching Coronation Street in Canada and seeing the Costa coffee brand, it was finally nice to experience it. Definitely an amazing coffee and treats. Bacon on a roll was the best.

  • 3/5 rufus s. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a fantastic white hot chocolate drink. Just what the doctor ordered

  • 5/5 Michael 1 year ago on Google
    Served by two very pleasant members of staff who highlighted special offer, and free coffee (with loyalty points). Another one was busy cleaning the shop but still interacting with customers. Best coffee experience in a long time. They deserve credit for this.

  • 4/5 Anthony S. 1 year ago on Google
    As always good coffee today I sat in and eat and drank. Was rather busy and staff were brilliant working hard and very friendly. The only issue that I have is when using the app they never seem to get it right. I was using a buy one get one ticket but instead they ended up using my free drink

  • 4/5 Matthew L. 1 year ago on Google
    I enjoy Costa Coffee, especially over some of the other competitors. However this one being located on one of Glasgows busiest streets, makes the atmosphere loud, busy and the seating very cramped. The service is good, with staff being polite and helpful, however as per the above problems, the sheer volume of people can mean you wait sometime for your order.

  • 5/5 FATMA 1 year ago on Google
    Sunny and cosy place to enjoy your coffee and study.

  • 5/5 Stephanie N. 4 years ago on Google
    Quick friendly service, during the rush they were still attentive to the mess and did their best to serve people quickly whilst keeping up store standards. The food was nice as always!

    Very helpful staff, I have a nut allergy and they took the time to run thru what I could eat and clean everything before serving me. Smiled the whole time and didnt make me feel awkward or silly which is so so wonderful. Thank you x

  • 5/5 Elaine J. 4 years ago on Google
    Always enjoys a Costa before I head home with shopping. Good to a relaxing time before you hit the traffic ?

  • 5/5 Fabian Van O. 4 years ago on Google
    Costa should get an award for allergy awareness. If you tell them you have an allergy, they take special precautions to ensure it is free of the allergens. I wish every place did this. Although their wifi doesnt always work, theyre much friendlier than other coffee chains.

👍👍 An excellent experience at Miller and Carter tonight. The food came out quickly and was so incredibly delicious - the steak was cooked to perfection and the beef dripping sauce was to die for! All steaks come with house fries they can up upgraded to chunky chips or sweet potato fried but we honestly...
