Costa Coffee - Stevenage

The key takeaway is to always request your coffee extra hot. Otherwise, it tends to arrive lukewarm, as they're cautious about serving it too hot for fear of potential lawsuits from burns. Aside from that, it’s a lovely coffee shop located centrally, and you can enjoy three hours of free parking when there isn’t a football match; otherwise, it's one and a half hours of free parking.

The service was quick, and while milk costs extra, I appreciate having this option available along with a selection of vegan choices.

The team here works very hard and always tries their best. However, there are some issues with loading the dishwasher and other equipment, which results in long wait times—really long wait times. As the only coffee shop in the park, this can be frustrating, but the coffee is consistently good.
