Costa Coffee Harwich in Tendring

We had different Coffees iced, frappe and hot coffee all were made fresh and name to perfection. We had a couple of different toasted sandwiches which were cooked to our requirements one well done one normal and both arrived as requested. We also had two children who had cold drinks and a cake each which were tasty and nothing wasted.

Lovely Costa branch, really clean, airy and super friendly staff.

Ideal stop off for a quick bite to eat or coffee from shopping at Morrisons

Had 'elevensies' with s friend, who kindly treated me :) We dined in and had the ruby hot chocolate and a piece of cake each. Lovely. Only thing: the acoustics in this building are very odd and 'noisy.' Engaging and communicating with the staff when placing an order is difficult. Even sat at a table speaking to each other was bizarre, having to 'climb over' the background 'noise.'

Very expensive always the feeling of a good coffee but I think my tassimo does it better

Standard Costa drive through. Not much to say about. coffee was good, so was the hot chocolate.

It's OK, pricey like all coffee chains now, but the queues could be managed better as the service can take a lot longer than necessary. A few orders have been given incorrectly here.

I have gone to this costa ever since it opened. Today was (hopefully) the last time. There is always something wrong with our order. Today I ordered my usual decaf caramel latte with oat milk and my mum ordered her usual cappuccino. My latte wasn't decaf and it didn't have caramel in there either which is not the first time this has happened. They also didn't have oat milk today, a Saturday, which is a shame as it would have added some kind of flavour. The latte was also half foam which is incorrect for a latte (shown in the picture). My mum's cappuccino tasted like water and didn't taste like there was any coffee in there whatsoever, she threw it away. After adding 3 teaspoons of sugar to mine, it was drinkable. Why do we keep going there then? Because it's the best of a bad situation. It's convenient, isn't it? There aren't any other drive-through coffee shops in our small town.That is why I wish starbucks or cafe nero or some other coffee shop would seize the opportunity to build here. The nearest starbucks is colchester Town centre, 30-40minutes away once you've parked and walked etc. Also, if there was a starbucks I could get SO many other drinks, ones that I prefer. Costa is extremely slow on the uptake of vegan/dairy free options. I love hot chocolate, but the costa syrup or powder has milk in it. Being lactose intolerant, it's best for the people around me if I don't consume dairy. Starbucks also has so many creamy ice drinks that are dairy free if you just take off the whipped cream. Their allergen menu allows me to see exactly what is in the drink. Costa's allergen menu just simply says contains milk so I can't decifer if taking out the whipped cream will allow me to have the drinks.The staff and their customer service is fine, but they don't know how to make the drinks from their own menu. Honestly, save your money and just make your coffee at home. If you want the ambience of sitting in a nicely decorated coffee shop then be my guest, just lower your expectations on taste if you're a frequent coffee shop goer.Maybe we'll visit the mcdonalds across from the costa instead. They have a hilarious sign that reads "good coffee shouldn't COST A lot" and it's in full view of costa.

January 2022. Costa Drive Through is now by McDonald's on the next roundabout, not at the location shown on the map. We wasted a long time looking for it but everything was great once we found it! Staff tell me they moved 2 years ago 😁

Always a pleasure going here. Great service, great coffee and fantastic food
