The baristas here are lovely. Superb drinks, friendly and caring too. My Dad to an elderly dementia sufferer, is looked after nicely. They always remind me I want a long spoon and a straw for his mug I take so he can drink himself.

Another good Costa experience with food coffee and lovely staff. T The venue is located at a busy spot in Glenrothes shopping centre and is opposite another high street food tore that sells sausage rolls and coffee. I prefer the more relaxed approach in Costa which gives a pleasant relaxed place to enjoy a coffee. It wasn't the tidiest venue when I visited but the pleasant staff were working hard to do everything and, to be fair, it is a never ending task. Will I go again? Very likely when I next venture into the shopping centre.

Great Coffee & Croissant. Amazing Deal with Coffee & £1 Croissant

Had a large mocha and a roll on sausage, mocha was about £4 and roll was about £3.50. Both were absolutely lovely and hit the spot but expensive. Actual shop was very clean and comfy, dimmer lit than usual coffee shops and toilets were of the highest quality.

Great Costa. Busy but always seem to find a seat. Nice to be served by a Barista who listens to what you want, and makes your coffee how you asked

Great Costa. Lovely staff. Visited lunchtime last week, had left my purse in the office and a kind lady in the queue paid for my coffee & biscuits (believe she was the off duty manager). Give it a shot if you're in Glenrothes you won't regret it.
