Costa Coffee - Ards

Typical Costa franchise with all that you'd expect. Staff are friendly but just functional. It's the condition of the premises the lowers the overall comfort here. It's just rundown with nowhere near enough table and floor cleaning done as the day progresses. It's not just Costa as other premises in the mall are the same later in the day.

Coffee latte good, tea not the best, treats ie: muffins pretty tasteless look good, but are ready mixes, as a baker myself I am dissapointed as this place is pricy as are all coffee houses, you pay for the personal coffee makers not for the quality of cake/scone on offer scone was yuk baking soda strong, our son asked for a non fizzy juice and was given a appletizer dur fizzy) I returned it, was offered water instead fine as my son liks that) as all other soft drinks were fzzy, thye had run our of pure orange, not one for the kids? no fresh milk shakes and cows milk not on offer that day?

Is pretty average and wee bit expensive. This branch is generally always busy when you are in or pass by. One good thing is they have a loyalty card.

I stopped in for a coffee to boost my energy after shopping. It did the job. The café was clean and friendly, meeting Costa's usual high standard.

Located in a convenient area of the shopping mall, this café is perfect for tired shoppers. The coffee is excellent and there is a lively atmosphere, though it can get a bit loud if you sit too close to the entrance. The service is always friendly and welcoming.
