Costa - Purley

The food and drinks here are excellent, and the interior is beautiful and very comfortable. However, I feel that Costa can be a bit expensive, with sandwiches and drinks costing over £5 each.

Great place with very friendly staff. They always get my coffee just right and make it perfect. However, the interior could use a bit of an update; it feels old and outdated. You can notice some broken items, non-functioning lights, and the chairs and tables seem a bit worn. It gives off an impression of an old pub, which isn't the vibe Costa aims for. While it is clean, the decor definitely feels dated. I think Purley could really benefit from a well-designed coffee shop, and perhaps attract a better clientele as well.

I had a delicious ham and cheese toastie that was beautifully made. I forgot to request a shot for my coffee, so it ended up being too strong for my taste. The staff were wonderful and friendly.
