Me and my other half went in there when it was less busy. She ordered a pot of tea like normal I got the same which I don't do but I just wanted a tea too the only promblem I had was a the lady who work there she wear glasses a bit short she charged me for two pots of tea but only gave me one pot that was not a lot between two people I asked why you only gave me one pot not two she said that's costa new rule so I played smart payed for one pot of tea and got aother pot of tea which gave me 2 which was the same price as before so I dont understand why they didnt give me the right amount is only hot water and a tea bag I know I could of had it at home but still she should of not done that. Im staying away from that costa if they want to be like that.

So.. 7 of us and a dog. Placed the 1st order then was told no dogs allowed. My sister had to sit outside with the dog so asked for a refund. Order completely mixed up and v slow. 2nd order also v slow. 4 members of staff, 2 messing about and ignoring line of customers. No manager in attendance, no control over level of service. If we'd not already paid and been told about dog rule 1st off we wouldn't have stayed - but there again the service was shocking so won't go back anyway.

Came in at 16.00 was fairly empty only one person in front of me in the queue, ice machine not working, but on till just left to close the door as someone had left it open and he was moaning about the air conditioning! Hello you've got customers waiting! Very poor selection of sandwiches and pastries, I asked for 4 different items to which it was a no to them all. The coffee was actually very nicely made by a young lady who I haven't seen before. Overall coffee in the coffee shop was nice can't say about the food as they didn't have anything I wanted.

  • John Hodson

Hopefully I caught this branch in a bad day. Only one vegetarian item of warm food available in the entire store so my party of three had to have cake instead (Marie Antoinette was right!). The server didn't seem to understand my order, even though it was given slowly and clearly and had to read it back with the help of a more experienced colleague. I heard the customer in front of me in the queue have to ask "did you get that?" too. Still, the coffee was as expected. Not sure we'll try this branch again.

  • Rachel Dunkerley

Lockdown update: I have been impressed with the coffee delivery via UberEats which I believe comes from this Costa. Coffee, cake and sandwiches are all packaged well. It has been a little treat at this time. Old review, applies more to drinking/eating in there, so not so relevant at the moment: The coffee is fine, the service is fine (though sometimes it gets very busy) but I prefer other Costas to this one as unless you are at one of the tables by the windows, it feels quite dark and closed in to me.

  • Gokhan Yurdakul

What a lovely place on high street but what a terrible service, I waited 15 minutes with a sandwich in my hand to take someone’s attention to take my order at the till but there was only one young gentlemen barista behind the counter and didn’t even want turn his face to me to as he was scared to take more orders. The que was getting busier and busier I asked if there was someone else working there and one of guests said we waited 45 minutes to be served. What a joke, I left so many people in the que.

  • Noahsark. lol

Worst experience ever an blond worker refused to serve me a coffee as I looked to young and then after getting what they call a peach ice tea, I was served a warm ice tea with no ice and after wanting a refund and wanting to complain I was refused and got told quote for quote you got what you paid for. Very bad experience. Won't be going there again. This is specific to the Orpington high street Costa other Costas are great even the other one just up the hill I live near.

  • Anna Manson Graves

The staff are NOT friendly, the customer service in this place is atrocious. I use to be greeted by a lovely young lady who remembered my order and made me feel comfortable in store but now each time I walk into the store I feel unwelcome, the staff tend to glare at customers instead of greeting with a smile. I don't know what happened to the lovely young lady that use to serve me but I will not be using this store until the staff learn to be more welcoming.

  • Rafael Lopes

Worst place in the world to have a coffee. The service is bad. Employees seem like they don't want to work. The place was empty but even so they forgot my coffee I was waiting for 15 minutes and nothing until I complained the employees made an ugly face. Employees are speaking a foreign language very loudly in front of customers. I will never enter that place again.

There's always at least 1 flickering light when i go and a wobbly table not good for those with migraines like me. Always bring sunglasses if that's the case. They always seem to not have in stock what I want to get in this costa...staff are polite though and nice. This costa is always loud when I go from the coffee machine banging? Not the most calming coffee shop I've been to. Decent costa overall.

They didn’t ask if I wanted my veggie food cooked with meat and did it anyway. Also watched them make drinks, when semi skimmed milk ran out instead of bothering to get a new one out gave me skimmed milk. Was abrupt and rude when talking too us and floor was a mess.

Visited today 2 May with a friend. Hardly any choice of cakes. Asked for a Toasted Tea cake and told only had these certain times. The staff didn’t seem to care The Costa within Tescos in Orpington has so much choice. The staff there are helpful and friendly. I will be visiting Tesco in future

  • Kasia Janus

You are not allowed to plug in your laptop! There are plugs near almost all the tables but a note above them is asking not to use them. I think is outrageous but fortunately there are plenty of other places nearby with more up to date approach to students/workers. The place is dark and gloomy and sitting outside is near busy street so would not recommend to go there.

  • Carole Nightingale

A spacious, light and airy branch. Kept very clean. A good range of food but would like to see more vegetarian and vegan options. Staff very friendly. This is always my go to coffee shop when in Orpington.

  • SW Liu

Busy coffee shop but very nicely done inside. Not a problem with the coffee but staff a bit unclear about which promotions are available. Tried to charge me full price for something that should have been discounted. When questioned, were very unclear about what the offer was and seemed reluctant to give me my money back.

  • Ruslan Djamaldaev

Good coffee,professional staff,but only one question!Why the hell they start mopping the floor at18.00 when full of customers?We had to walk on a slippery floor holding a full tray and making sure we are not gonna fall. They also close the half of the premises at around 18.00.Wonder why?BTW!Their closing time is 19.30!

  • Dominic richards

Placed my order sat at a table went to get some sugar only to find the holder empty so I asked at the counter only o be told they have run out. So I had to get a refund for my coffee and muffin why my son sat and had his. Last time I will visit will be going to primo at the top of the high street 1/10

  • Charley

We placed an order on Just Eat and half of our order was missing, we contacted Just Eat and phoned the Costa in Orpington High-street where we spoke to Alfie. He was such a great help and threw in some cakes for us for the inconvenience, such a lovely guy. He deserves a raise haha

  • Graham Norton

The floor was messy with rubbish left on it although the cafe was not busy. The toilet was a disgrace. The toilet floor was wet with soggy napkins or tissues laying about. The coffee was OK

  • Kieran Colfer

Not enough staff for the amount of customers that enter the shop. As a result, tables aren't cleaned often or very well and some of the staff are rude because they are under a lot of stress. Not a pleasant experience going into this place.

  • Steve Dalphrase Woodman

This Costa is only a few minutes from my house It was my first visit but not my last i’ve enjoyed the salted caramel hot chocolate with a nice ham and cheese toastie follow by one of their delicious lemon muffin Clean store Friendly staff

  • Rexogamer

  • Andy Clarke

Fire alarm went off for 5 minutes and as the staff tried in vain to turn it off. They failed to check the building for a cause and still served customers. I can concluded that they knew the fire alarm system was defective.

  • Adem Ben Hamdine

Customer service really bad with not good service the staff look like they doing favour for Customers three times I get coffee with plenty of water inside that's so crazy I've asked for latte not for petrol lol

  • K Yardley

Very disappointed I came to get some drinks then my sister wanted the meal deal st £4.95 she refused to redo this for me! No manager present and was rather abrupt and very unhelpful. Not happy at all …

I order via UberEats from here and there's this one employee who writes my name and "Have a good day! :)" on my bag. Give them a bonus or something, this is really sweet.

A very rude member of staff made this an unpleasant visit on Sunday. Coffee and cake was fine but this member of staffs attitude was completely unacceptable.

  • Marcus Mellor

Awful flat white; apparently it has less coffee than a cappuccino..... but costs more Replaced with an equally awful cappuccino. Never again Mr Costa.

  • Yvonne Charlton

Good! Depending on whom is making the coffee - some are better than others! Marte is a "Great Barista" thanks for making a great coffee, everytime!

  • Thaddeus Berry

I pop in a couple of times a week. I'm always greeted by friendly staff and a cup of super coffee. I'd recommend the place. The girls are lovely..

  • Jenny Easton-Neale

Helpful and friendly staff. Great coffee. On the down side I find the shop rather gloomy probably as it's a long shop with limited daylight.
