Probably best for students on a budget and less adventurous boba drinkers. My friend did like the Japanese style hotdog, though, which came out looking like a bootleg version of the ones pictured on the door. This isn't a reflection of the staff, though, just the food. They are efficient and friendly enough.

I survived off their coffee with coffee jelly during my Uni days and now that the caffeine with…read moremore caffeine is no longer needed I am enjoying trying their other flavours. Their traditional brown sugar with tapioca is a favourite now and a friend swears by their taro. My teen son likes trying new mixed of their fruit read with fruit bubbles and it doesn't cost much more than a large drink at a coffee shop. The staff are always lovely, it can get busy, especially for his small it is, so you can't rush in and expect a drink in minutes, but definitely worth the wait.

You can always find a seat in this place as it is not too popular. They have currently got an offer on hotdogs, which is great for hotdog fans. I am never eaten food in here, so I cannot judge, but the hot chocolate is amazing. It is situated in The Bridges, so you do not have to brave the cold for a hot drink.

This will be quite short but I'll get to the good stuff quick!…read more Really cute coffee spot in the food corner of Grainger Market. I absolutely love that your coffee is made from freshly ground coffee beans (and they have TONS of flavours, strengths, and options). One side of the cafe us for ordering drinks then and there and the other side is to take some coffee beans home. The woman working at the time was very patient with me and quite informative, outlining different coffee beans and what she thinks I would like based on how strong I like my coffee. I ended up getting their regular base coffee bean flavored with pumpkin spice. A regular size is £2.25 and students get 10% off with a valid ID. So really...a great tasting coffee for basically £2? I'll take it. The only downside I have with my coffee (although I didn't specify) was that I got it at a warm temperature. There was no chance of burning myself, it was drinkable right away. I generally sip my coffee over an hour or so, so it got too cold at some point. Otherwise, I highly recommend you grab your next coffee from here :) definitely going back to try out their hazelnut coffee!

Whenever I go to Teesside Park, which is often, the first place I go is Costa Coffee. I actually…read moreonly started going there in December and that was when I discovered the hazlenut mocha! There is a large seating area to the entrance, but unfortunately when you enter, there isn't enough room between the entrance and the counter which makes it extremely difficult to queue because of all the tables and chairs and people. I think the entire layout should or could have been better thought out. You will understand this if you go on a weekend and grab a seat as soon as you walk in, you'll probably be knocked by other customers waiting to be served and get the odd handbag wrapped around your head! There are always plenty of staff and the turnover of orders seems to run smoothly, not a long wait for your order. There is ample seating, but like I say, could have been better thought out. If you love coffee and want a sit down or even a smoke, I highly recommend this little coffee shop.

I personally ordered a latte with almond milk, the avocado on sourdough(Mexican) with an added 2 poached eggs. After breakfast/lunch I went back and got a pour over(filtered?) coffee that was out of this world delicious with no milk! I just love when you can get a coffee and enjoy it for the simple pure taste of it. I would order it every time. I also stayed hydrated with the water they generously provide at the front(that they never let run out). The bonus to it all was the dark chocolate selection they have. I went for the 100% dark of single origin, just like their coffees by the way. On top of all that, the bathrooms were clean and well stocked. There were plenty of tables and even some with outlets. There were lots of pastries to choose from that I did not try, but that is what subsequent visits are made for! The staff were really friendly and nice. Someone is obviously on top of it here in organization. It is not easy to make a business look and run this good. So do yourself a favor and go try this place out.
