In comparison to the other chains in Ealing, Costa does it fairly well. Though its cramped interior is a slight turn-off, in the Summer, it’s a joy to sit outside and watch the world go by.
The quality of coffee is certainly above-average, and the pricing is fair, but that doesn’t apply to the food; A small selection of paninis and cakes - delicious, but not cheap.
Costa is Costa, you know what you’ll be getting every time and this branch doesn’t deviate from the formula.

There are 3 branches of Starbucks in Ealing Broadway.
One of them is away from the centre, near Walpole Park. One is located centrally; on the edge of the shopping centre.
This branch is perhaps the best located of the three, mere seconds away from Ealing Broadway station, and accessible from Haven Green. I’m not a great fan of their coffee, but getting a frappaccino in the Summer months having walked off the microwave of the central line at rush hour is fantastic; and it’s well placed if you want to pick up a quick sandwich.
The usual criticisms apply as with all branches - weak coffee, average food, and high prices considering what you’re getting.
If you’re looking for a decent coffee and somewhere to sit down, the nearby Cafe Chi does the job much better.

Great for a quick lunch on a day in the city.
The fillings are wide ranging, along with a selection of different bagels (poppy seeds, seseame seeds etc.). The hot drinks are fairly priced and often better than the usual coffee shops (starbuck’s anyone?).
Overall, Bagel factory provides a great lunch whilst on the move, or during your lunch break. They have outlets spread thoughout central London.

Absolutely wonderful tea shop found down a beautiful cobbled street in the quaint little town of Ledbury.
The cream teas are to die for, along with some fantastic ice cream in summer. The service here has always been great, and the delicious food is great value for money. If you’re ever in the area, Mrs Muffins would be a great stop.

I’d be inclined to agree with you about Haven Green, but I’d also like to add in the fact that during the Winter months, Ealing council has decided to situate a gigantic ice rink in the middle of it. The area already has enough people, and this structure takes up all the empty space that was once there. Even worse, the rink seems to leave a massive marsh in its wake when they remove it.
If you like ice skating, why not just travel to Queensway?
It’s just another way for the council to rake in money…
