Closed for renovation

I took the picture above outside Costa at Marina Crescent but I’ve noticed quite a few restaurants have also closed down during Ramadan for renovations. I never liked that Costa branch since I found it too bright and uncomfortable. I’m not a fan of coffee shops anyway but I do prefer the cozy feel I get from Starbucks.

    U know why they r renovating it? because they get sick of these old and retired smoking men with sonic (get u naked) vision!
    So my prediction is they r going to make it in pink just to keep them away!

    Costa has alot better coffee. They are the only ones that serve a genuine Italian cappuccino.

    Personally, I think Starbucks is the best out of the “coffee shops” available but go try Dean & Deluca or Deletoile at The Avenues. These places serve up really decent coffee.

    Costa Coffee was bought by a new owner (Behbehani Family), that’s why. And they’re opening new places.

    I stop visiting starbucks for a long time after being a daily costumer! what a waste!

    Starbucks = Better place and location but bad coffee and service

    Costa = Bad service + bad coffee

    Caribou = GREAT COFFEE + GREAT LOCATIONS

    Frankom never had a bad experience in Costa! as for Caribou I did have a bad experience! I have to disagree with u… Behbehani bought Costa as said above and I visited one of their new locations in Kuwait city, the cozy part is there ;) I hope they will do it in all Costa Coffee shops
