Peaceful ambience
The branch has been described as peaceful, with a pleasant atmosphere for drinking coffee.

Tips for a Better Visit
Check hours. Confirm the branch's hours before travelling, especially if a map listing says it is open 24 hours.
Ask Wi-Fi. If you plan to work or browse, ask staff for the Wi-Fi code rather than assuming it is displayed.
Bring reusable. For a sit-down drink, consider bringing a reusable cup because one customer found the paper cups disintegrated.
Plan parking. Allow extra time to find the branch and park; a review specifically flags both visibility and parking difficulty.
Check toilets. Ask about toilet access before ordering several drinks, as the nearest reported option was upstairs in the gymnasium.

The Bottom Line
Costa Coffee in Trade Centre is a straightforward counter-service stop for familiar coffee-shop fare, with reviews pointing to quick, friendly service as its biggest strength. You can order hot coffee, iced matcha, tea, pastries and sandwiches, while plant-based alternatives and sweet and savoury choices add some flexibility. The iced matcha receives a specific mention, and classic Corto and Americano are also named by customers.
The setting is generally described as peaceful and pleasant. There are a handful of tables, decent Wi-Fi and, according to an older review, beautiful outdoor seating. It is more of a casual coffee stop than a lounge: one customer noted there were no sofas.
A recent review also mentioned that the building was under renovation, so the surroundings may not be settled. Do check the hours before setting off. Two reviews say the branch was incorrectly shown as open 24 hours, with one customer taking a taxi only to learn it closed at 5 pm.
Parking may also be awkward because the branch is described as hidden from view. There is another practical catch: a review says the branch has no toilet, with the nearest one upstairs inside the gymnasium. Prices drew mixed reactions, including one complaint that the coffee was overpriced.
