I was surprised to see Costa on my travels in Czechia, having not seen or visited Costa outside of the UK before, with Costa being a British brand originally when it was established in London in 1971, before being taken over more recently by Coca-Cola, I wanted to check it out, and I did while passing through Westfield Chodov.
The look and feel of the store reminds me of any Costa, even one back home in terms of the look, colour scheme and layout, even down to the chairs and the art.
The service was fast, staff spoke basic English, which made the experience a little easier when ordering.
I ordered a raspberry iced tea, prices seemed not too much more than what I would pay for a drink at Costa back home. They did not accept international Costa Club cards, which are only valid in the country of origin.
I was unhappy with the quality of my iced tea, it was so weak and tasted like flavoured water, and it didn't have much colour to it as well. It was poorly made, and there were few other customers in at the same time as me, so it couldn't be blamed on them being rushed due to being in a mall environment.
I like the interior and find it to be a comfortable place to sit down and relax while shopping at Westfield Chodov, but the drink quality remains poor and there are better alternatives within the mall. 2* read more
