Costa Drive Thru in Highland

Good coffee, just took a while to be served between staff having a chat.

An OK Costa, nothing to complain about other than they allow smoking outside. The outside space is small and tables are close to each other. I will avoid going there now as having a coffee outside with my friends was why we went there. But if is spoiled by smokers is not worth it.

Coffee used to taste fresh with chocolate notes that tasted great most of the time. Now, for a couple of years now the coffee is always over extracted, no body to it at all. Couple this with varying closing times recently and rude manager that laughs when you go to open the door when its shut early was the final straw.

Turned up at the store at 5:30 on a Saturday. Drive through was coned off, door was locked despite saying it was open till 6:00 on the door. I wasn't the only one trying to get in either.

Too conveniently close. Hot chocolate is always lovely. My daughters love the different flavours aswell as the coffees. Sit-in in pleasant and tables are clean.

Nice place to go for a work coffee, had our laptops & nobody paid us any notice. Staff were friendly and having a laugh. A few tables with dirty dishes but that's expected.

Unfortunately very disappointed when I visited this Costa. It is in need of a good clean, seats are disgusting, all marked and stained. Tables not cleared, luckily I had wipes with me so cleaned table myself. Outside was also in need of cleaning up used cups and rubbish even the bin was overflowing. Come on Costa it used to be a pleasant experience visiting this cafe.

Slow service, a barista who clearly does not enjoy there job and expresses it, and paying extra for marshmallows to find there are none in the drink. Overall very disappointing, the drinks were okay, but not worth the £5 that was paid for each of them.

This is my second visit here in the last couple of weeks due to visiting the near by dentist.The staff are very welcoming and helpful which makes it somewhere nice to sit and enjoy a toastie and large coffee after visiting said dentist.Would recommend a visit even if you are traveling north or south on the A9 via Perth for a wee rest stop 😊

During our visit to the UK, my sister introduced us to the Costa Coffee chain, openly declared it as her favourite for many years.I can see why.First item to catch the eye on approach were the street side advertising boards, “Coffee, spice and all things nice”, wonder where I have heard that catchy phrase before? ;-)This particular outlet has a drive-through as well, did not try it so cannot comment, but assume it would be as pleasant an experience as were the staff indoors.Sufficient parking readily available, relatively easy access off the A9 at the roundabout.Main entrance door clearly indicates what is or is not allowed. Dogs not allowed but guide dogs are. Not familiar with the guide-dog sign on the door, could not decide if it was a dog on a leash or guide-dog only. Did find the UK to be generally a dog friendly (obedient/well trained dogs) country, where dogs were welcomed at most places. I suppose when winter and snow sets in, you cannot leave your dog tethered outside. :-(Regardless, both inside and surrounds were clean, staff friendly, the Barista attentive to any special requirements, skinny this and that, less coffee more milk etc. (my sister). Spoilt for choice from coffee to all sorts of other refreshments covering juices, energy drinks (for those that take it on the run), soda’s, ice teas and so forth. As for the “all things nice”, consider that as an understatement. Wide selection of pastries, a little pricey for us (shocking exchange rate for South Africans), but we were sorely tempted. :-)Only one let down, almost non-existent offering for the Banting/low carbohydrate fraternity.Other than that, the wife loved the Cappuccino and my Americano went down a real treat.Reserve a rating of 5 for the extraordinary, but would certainly rate it a 4.9 if I could.Great brand, store and staff. If we were fortunate enough to get to travel to the UK again, I know where to go for a great Americano. I will bring my own Banting/low carb snacks. ;-)
