About

It takes great skill and care to create the perfect coffee. Here at Costa, our baristas are wholly committed to the craft and the blend and are fastidious about the foam and the finishing. They've trained long and hard to be able to serve you our range of magnificent coffees.

Our coffees

Six signature coffees that we know you’ll love hot or cold. Our baristas devote 100 hours of training to pour you the perfect cup.

Espresso - Short & Intense.  The Espresso is where it all begins. Its rich aroma is the heartbeat of all our coffees. We craft one simple shot of our intense roast for the most elegant of drinks.

Americano - Simple & Smooth.  Our famously intense Espresso softened with hot water. Drink it straight up or add a splash of milk. You’ll love it either way.

Latte - Mild & Milky. The perfect combination of our aromatic Espresso and creamy milk. This duo is ideal for everyone who loves their drink hot in winter and cold in summer.

Cappuccino - Famously frothy.  A special treat made out of intense Espresso, frothy milk and decadent chocolate dusting. Enjoy it hot or ice cold.

Cortado - Small & Luxurious.  It all starts with the purest essence of Espresso and textured milk. But before you can enjoy your Cortado, we sign it off with a little heart.

Flat White - Rich & Velvety.  A delicious combination of Espresso and velvety milk, signed off with a perfect florette. And the best thing: it tastes amazing hot or cold.

Behind the beans - Here at Costa Coffee, we’re just as committed to our communities, the people we serve and the world we live in as we are about serving great coffee.

History - We've over 45 years' experience of crafting the finest quality coffee. From revolutionary methods and commitment to quality to unforgettable successes that have made Costa Coffee the Nation’s Favourite* coffee shop, our story is as unique as our coffee.

But first, let’s start with how every good story should. At the very beginning.

The Costa Coffee story began back in 1971 when Sergio and Bruno arrived in London with a burning desire to make great tasting coffee a part of everyday life.

Setting up a small roastery in Fenchurch Street, they committed to crafting the finest quality coffee.

It was here the Costa brothers blind-tested 112 variations of coffee before they tasted one good enough to be our signature blend. They named it ‘Mocha Italia’ and it remains our signature blend to this day.

Customer Reviews:

We use a lot of Costa's but this one's a favourite. Always great service. Thank you.

Typical food and drink of any costa, but really nice and friendly staff and it's really clean and tidy.

Love this coffee shop, when we visit Torquay we always stop in and have a hot drink. Their hot chocolate is amazing. The barristas are very helpful. The place is always clean and welcoming. Staff are helpful and make a perfect drink. It's a cosy and warm place to sit back and relax.
