Don't get me wrong, I like Costa. I like the coffee. The snacks aren't bad too - chocolate twists are my favourite. I even like the Italian family ambience the stores are designed to have (despite being part of the mighty Whitbread empire). What I don't like are the crowds. It's just too popular for its own good. Term time it's full of mums and their 4x4 prams. Weekends it's packed with stressed shoppers queuing out the door and in the summertime what few outdoor seats it has always seem to be filled with chainsmokers. Try M and S Café - good coffee, no crowds... [Oct 08]
