On a trip to the airport to drop my friend off, I decided to grab something to eat and since it was like 5am I decided to get myself a coffee too. I was about to use those vending machines when I noticed a nice looking coffee place called Costa coffee. I always walk past this place when I’m shopping in town but the place looked so much more appealing that day.
Costa coffee is a really trendy coffee bar and there are a lot of new ones opening around the UK. The Italian décor is lovely and there is just such a great vibe in there.
I decided to have a Latte, which cost me around £1.90, and it tasted so different to any other latte ive ever had. It tasted lovely, I was hooked on lattes anyway but this one was just so different and really nice. The cup was also quite big so I was pretty satisfied.
They also served tea and some mocha ice shakes, which I wasn’t, really brave enough to try out. They looked really nice but I’m more in to my hot drinks.
I also decided to buy a chocolate pastry thing. It looked disgusting in the window but my friend advised me to try it out, and when I did I as hooked, it has round chocolate shapes in the pastry and it was absolutely lovely. It cost me around £1.50. A bit expensive but definitely worth it. They had a lot of other pastry’s and cakes and there is quite a lot of selection.
I was also quite hungry at the time and decided to have a sandwich, which cost me around £2.50, I felt it was quite pricey but I was desperate for food! The sandwich was nice so I wasn’t bothered about the price anyway.
The sofa and chairs were so comfortable. I sat on one of the sofas with my friends and it was relaxing, like you’re at home or something. The tables and chairs are quite stylish too. When the place gets busy though its impossible to find a seat let alone sit on one of the sofas.
The staff were really friendly and of the waitresses asked us if we were ok and if we wanted to order anything else. They were very polite which made the place even more relaxing.
Costa Coffee is a great relaxing place and serves great coffee and food. Every time I’m in town I always grab a desert to take home. The atmosphere is great and I love the style in which the place is set out! Trendy!
