Costa Coffee - Haywards Heath 1 - Haywards Heath

Nice store but it gets busy here and tables are not cleared so there’s not anywhere clean to sit once you have got your food and drinks. The disabled toilet should be locked under radar key but is left open for anyone to use - no wonder it’s absolutely rank and smelly. Went today and used the disabled toilet to find the pull cord for emergency use tied up - this isn’t acceptable it should be hanging free incase someone like me with a disability fell or needed emergency assistance. The queue is out the door sometimes.

Updated my review as I went here on a different day and the shop was empty: the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful including one on the till who was on a 4hr work trial (I hope they give him a job!). My drink was made with no problems and I enjoyed sitting in here to pass the time.

Visited today for a coffee, any vacant tables were covered with trays of used crockery, a member of staff was putting a delivery away, in my experience the customer comes first h her time would have been better spent clearing tables & doing delivery when a bit quieter. Won't be visiting again absolute shambles

Waited for almost 20 minutes for our drinks on a Sunday, staff couldn’t be any slower… uninterested, prioritising customers who are after us. 3 staff on and honestly just ridiculously slow. I would leave no stars if I could given the cost of it all.

A long overdue transformation of a once dark and uninviting space. A plea to the staff - please work hard to keep this interior clean.

I visited this Costa at 5:45pm on Saturday, the door was open and customers were sat inside so I believed the shop was open and still serving drinks. The advertised closing time on the door said 7pm. I stood in front of two male staff members at the counter who completely ignored me after looking at me several times, one continuing to just put a tray away in the back room, clearly more important than serving a customer or even acknowledging me. In the end just decided to leave and take my business across the road to caffè nero because I couldn’t be bothered with the terrible customer service. Won’t be in Costa again!

Ordered 2 drinks and a snack which took far longer than they should have, while waiting I noticed several things which were just poor for a Sunday, such as the shop being very dirty and the staff being incompetent. For example, during my wait, I heard the server say to another customer "you cannot have a teapot for your drink, as we can't wash any up because we are understaffed". This was ridiculous as there were only 4 people in the queue at that time. Any competent team could have washed up the teapots etc, and cleaned while the other did drinks.
Another thing I noticed was the attitude of the gentleman named Luke, who was making the drinks, swearing under his breath and complaining it didn't feel like a Sunday after another customer returned their food after saying it tasted sour and out of date.
The icing on this cake being the drinks were of poor quality after waiting for 15 mins for them.
Cannot recommend, I would advise any of the independent shops in this area as a better alternative.

Love Costa coffee, it was great as usual. Their sandwiches are a bit uninspiring. VERY unusually the place was nearly empty at lunch time, hmmmm. So little atmosphere. Decor starting to look a little tired.
