Costa Coffee - Market Place

The Costa Coffee on Market Place is a staple for those needing a dependable spot to work. The atmosphere is standard for a Costa, offering a comfortable and unpretentious environment. Seating options include individual tables, some with armchairs, and a few larger communal tables. While it can get busy, particularly during lunch, the background hum of conversation is usually manageable. The coffee is consistent, and they offer a wide range of hot and cold drinks, along with sandwiches, cakes, and pastries. It's a popular spot for shoppers, locals catching up, and remote workers who appreciate the reliable WiFi and availability of power. Crucially, it's often open slightly later than independent cafes, offering more flexibility for extended work. The upstairs seating area can sometimes be quieter.
