  • "The Costa above Waterstones was jam packed on Saturday with masses of people coming off the Worldwide demonstration for freedom rally which had gathered on Trafalgar Square"

    "For several years, I have been drinking Skinny Mochas during the working week and in all that time, I have not found anyone, or any shop make a Skinny Mocha like the Guys at Costa Express Charing Cross Station"

    "Nice place, staff was quick and smiley and made the perfect Americano with coconut milk for a quick take out, it was rather busy but was there in rush hour, it's not a big Costa so if you looking to do work on laptop or charge your phone whilst having a coffee it's not the place it's design for a quick grab and go, anyway if in London area again will go back and get a sausage sandwich later cos I was starving and didn't want to wait 5 minutes lol"

    "The worst Chai I ever had So spicy and bitter I drink that kind of drink from many years and I know exactly how the chai should taste This chai had a lot of cinnamon and cloves but not at all or maybe one % of cardamom Just awful taste Stuff not helpful at all"

    "Amazingly quick service for how cramped they are; can't quite imagine how staff cope"

The Costa above Waterstones was jam packed on Saturday with masses of people coming off the Worldwide demonstration for freedom rally which had gathered on Trafalgar Square. There was only two girls serving and bless them they did well under pressure, with a third staff member providing relief. Unfortunately the toilets one was locked as broken, and the other was blocked meaning the bowl filled to the brim with all the people queuing for it. When I offered to pay a cash tip to the girls for their service under pressure they refused, saying it was company policy - Costa needs to address their staffing levels for weekend trade, their toilet facilities, and allow a tip jar to be available.

For several years, I have been drinking Skinny Mochas during the working week and in all that time, I have not found anyone, or any shop make a Skinny Mocha like the Guys at Costa Express Charing Cross Station. Costa Coffee, please acknowledge your Charing Cross Team for outstanding work, excellence in coffee making, and customer service. At present Charing Cross is a nightmare to use for the London Underground, but I'll still trek to your Charing Cross Station team for my fabulous coffee! Thank you, Gracias.

  • Sabine Mae Pitcher

Amazingly quick service for how cramped they are; can't quite imagine how staff cope. But they say they aren't big enough to stock lactose-free milk which is mega-annoying as Costa is the only chain offering this at all.

  • David Redway

I came in with a big order, 5 different drinks. The gentleman behind the counter, Lee, was polite, professional and service was very fast. Drinks were excellent. Overall, a great customer experience!

  • Tony Martin

Love Costa, even have a points card. This one is one I didn't know about at first, but the staff are friendly the place is clean and warm. It's a good place to take a break, as is all Costa shops.

  • Maya Hadzhipetkova

Lovely as usual. Amazing coffee, great cold drinks and sweets, the sandwiches are not bad too even though most of them are not Halal and none of them are made with brown bread or wholegrain.

Very small shop but still had a lot of stock. There is nowhere to sit but the staff are friendly and it's right by the river so you wouldn't want to sit inside anyway.

  • Helene

I am sorry but when we said "No whipped cream", it was totally ignored... The drinks were pretty watery and for the price not worthy to buy... Better go to Starbucks.

  • Clara

Buen sitio para hacer una parada y tomar algo, antes de seguir ruta, andando o el metro.

It's tuck in a corner, small place, good enough to get your favourite cuppa if not too crowded!
