I am not the one to leave a bad review but this takes the cake.
Ordered 3 drinks, 1 cheese and ham toastie, 1 bagel, 1 slice of cake, 1 breakfast toastie all came to £34.
Next, we receive our delivery, 3 drinks - perfect, cake - perfect, cheese and ham toastie - cold and solid, no bagel, no breakfast toastie, and a 'lovely' 'thoughful' note from them, stating "so sorry to be missing some items". That's it. No refund, no substitutes, no phone call, just £34 they happily received without an ounce of consideration.
I'm genuinely pissed off.

Pink lemonade and Chai latte
Carrot and walnuts cake
We said no sugar when ordering, but it was still very sweet and uncomfortable to drink.
But the cake is quite delicious
The signal here is poor but there is free Wi-Fi
There seems to be only one clerk and the service attitude is pretty good.

Sometimes, the selection on offer is limited. Also, occasionally, it closes at 4pm when it is advertised to be open until 6pm.

Love this branch!! I know Stockbridge is full of small independent cafes and sure definitely support them. But for a large space to sit and relax and save some money THIS IS IT. For a chain I can't really fault it. Nothing special about it OTHER THAN the excellent staff. It's them that make me come back.
Huge shout out to Lulu & Cameron. BEST BARISTAS EVER. They always make me smile.
Vegetarian options: Cakes n sandwiches galore!
Dietary restrictions: Clearly marked. Ingredients listed. Lost of options.

Food is ok for a snack but not the best tasting and very expensive as with the coffee very expensive and costs more than a pint of beer for a large coffee.
Vegetarian options: Not much for vegetarians and nothing for full vegans. I have been in a couple of times and just had coffee as there was nothing on the shelf for vegetarians.

Used to be a good shop. Service now pish. Only one person on during peak times.
Could not have been slower service.

Had a coffee and a cake, salted caramel brownie was very nice and moist. Canteen style atmosphere but was only in for a quick pit stop, staff were friendly.

As others have implied . As a company Costa no longer seem to take pride in their service. Staff lack people skills and are arrogant without the intelligence or drink making skills to back it up. The Chinese looking girl has been rude and off hand to me . For no reason just asked for a latte. With some of their sauces . Got hot milk and no coffee . When I brought it back she tried to blame me for her own oversight .Rather then knock up a fresh shot she gave me left overs . Service is slow despite staff circulating lots of dirty tables .If the government actually had some balls and restricted the number of Costa?s in the city I believe the service would get back to what it was like before . When the staff took pride in their job .

Good place to go to for a snack. However, they don't always have in store what you are looking for.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon - mistake number one.This is just your standard run down bog standard Costa.You are greeted at the door with the "There, I fixed it" hazard tape fixing some problem with the flooring. You can almost carbon date this with the wear on the tape - it's been there a long time and there is no prospect on the horizon of it being removed and repaired.Seating - there are seats, but they are generally filled with people that are on laptops not consuming products they've bought at the coffee bar hours ago. They're doing literature review for uni or somesuch. What seating is present is quick to be filled. We were fortunate to catch a table with someone leaving.Coffee Bar - Cake selection looked OK. Fridge selection was meagre.Drinks were ordered and a pre-packaged mince pie tart purchased - turns out I got double charged - which was fixed, but really shouldn't have happened.Drink production seemed to take far longer than you'd expect - despite there being at least 4 people working that day, not one of them sat at the coffee machine solidly to produce drinks. They seemed to be off to the back area for "stuff".Tables - these are your standard coffee shop tables. Sticky tops and wobbly legs.Detritus - As with any coffee shop on a weekend there were tables filled with trays of empty coffee cups and plates. Again, cleanup seemed to take 2nd fiddle to other tasks requiring their attention. There's not even a self-service station to do your own cleanup, which at this point would be advantageous.Returning - only if I'm caught once again in the rain far from my car. Otherwise, I'd select another shop somewhere on Raeburn Place for my caffeinated bean juice requirements.Parking: Parking - good luck. This is Raeburn Place, where on-street parking is like hen's teeth.
