Fantastic coffee spot w/ the friendliest staff!
We were staying at The Royal Horseguards, hoping to find a tasty morning coffee spot ( that wasn't a Starbucks ) & lucked into Costa
Right around the corner from our hotel & right at the entrance of the Embankment Tube Stop.....also *right* beside a Starbucks but save yourselves the huge-chain-megaolith-poor-taste-bleck & go to Costa instead
Knowing there are hotel patrons & thousands of commuters coming through every day, I was absolutely shocked & impressed when I walked in, on morning #2 & the server remembered my EXACT ORDER. Having only been there once before......for take-away for crying out loud & she remembered what we had!! In fact, she remembered every order in the shop - everyone in line just smiled when she told them their order & they were like, gosh, that's right.
Extremely courteous & w/ super-quick service, lines cleared out in no time, we had our morning fixes & they were delightful!
Creamy Hot Chocolates, Mochas, & nice bold, strong Coffee. Pastries / Muffins were also fresh & very flavorful. There was a Cranberry Muffin in particular that was phenomenal. We went there every morning we were in Westminster read more
