Costa Menu UK 2026: Prices & Calories

Costa Menu UK at a Glance: 2026 Prices & Calories

If you only want the headline numbers before you scroll through the full menu, these five figures cover what most people are searching for. Every value here is pulled from the tables further down this page, so nothing on this list is estimated or rounded up to look tidier than the real menu.

The cheapest way into the Costa food menu is a snack rather than a main, and the cheapest drink by a wide margin is the Espresso, which costs more than two pounds less than a medium latte and carries none of the milk that drives the calorie count up. Drinks cluster between £4 and £6 and food between £3 and £7, and the crossover point, where a drink and a snack cost you the same, sits right around the £4.80 of a medium latte.

Costa Coffee Menu: Hot Coffee Prices & Calories

Every hot coffee below starts from the same Signature Blend espresso, a mix of Arabica and Robusta beans, so the drinks share a base flavour and differ mainly in how much milk each one carries. Sizes run Primo, Regular and Massimo for hot drinks and Small, Medium and Large for cold ones; we quote the medium throughout, because that is the build Costa publishes calorie figures for. Expect a Primo to come in cheaper and lighter, and a Massimo to cost more and count more. Strength-wise, the Espresso and the Cortado sit at the short, intense end of the table, while the Americano stretches the same shot out with hot water, which is why it stays at just 18 kcal.

Swap semi-skimmed for a skinny or plant-based milk and every milky figure below shifts, and the customisation section further down the page explains how much each swap moves things.

Hot Chocolate, Chai Latte & Other Hot Drinks

Outside coffee, the hot menu runs from the classic Hot Chocolate to the Sweet Ube Hot Chocolate, the newest arrival and the priciest cup in this group. One allergy note before you order the Ube: milk is built into the recipe itself, so no plant-milk swap can make it dairy free. Travelling with children? The Milk Babyccino is frothed milk and a cocoa dusting, with no coffee in it at all.

Costa Cold Drinks Menu: Frappés, Iced Coffee & Coolers

Anything served cold counts here: the blended frappés, the coffees poured over ice, the iced teas and iced matcha lattes, and the two fruit coolers. That makes 23 drinks in all, and it is the busiest corner of the menu once the weather turns, so three tables keep it easy to scan.

Costa Frappés Menu

Frappés are the thick, blended drinks with a whipped topping, and almost the whole range sits at £5.80; only the Tropical Mango Bubble costs more.

Costa Coffee Over Ice Menu

Order your usual coffee cold and you will usually pay what the hot version costs, so the Iced Latte matches the Latte at £4.80. The exceptions are the two whipped lattes at £5.20, the priciest drinks in this table.

Iced Tea, Matcha & Fruit Coolers

The matcha and iced tea line is where the cold menu gets experimental, and where it gets expensive: the Strawberry Coconut Matcha Iced Latte is the single costliest drink Costa sells.

Costa Tea Menu with Prices

If calories decide your order, this is your table: five of these ten brews sit at 3 kcal or under, the lowest figures anywhere on the menu. Only the Matcha Latte breaks the pattern, because steamed milk takes it to 137 kcal. The three vitamin teas are also the ones that come with something in the cup, like a lemon slice, a cinnamon stick or an orange slice, and at £3.75 they sit a touch above the plain brews.

Costa Breakfast Menu with Prices & Calories

Eleven items make up breakfast, from a £3.05 slice of toast to the £6.45 All Day Breakfast Wrap, and most stores keep serving into late morning. Cut-off times swing by branch and by day, so the opening hours page, not a general rule, is what to check before a late run.

The wrap is the big one, stacking bacon, sausage and egg into a tortilla for 604 kcal, while the jumbo oats porridge is the light start at 162 kcal for £3.50.

Costa Lunch Menu: Toasties, Paninis, Sandwiches & Wraps

Lunch is the biggest food counter on the menu: 23 items, £3.79 to £6.80, sorted below into toasties, paninis, sandwiches, wraps and hot food so you can jump straight to your type, with the vegan and gluten-free picks flagged on their row. Bread changes with the item too, with malted, oatmeal and barmarked white all appearing, so if you have a preference the note on each row tells you what your order comes on. Hunger doing the deciding? The Nacho toastie is the heavyweight at 586 kcal, and the Cheese Bites are the light bite at 247.

Wraps & Hot Food

Costa Cakes, Pastries & Sweets Menu

Twenty-eight bakes sit behind the cake counter, and this is the friendliest section for vegan and vegetarian orders. The flags below come from Costa's own menu rather than from us reading ingredient lists, and if you avoid dairy and egg entirely, the Double Chocolate Cookie and the Biscoff Cheezecake are both fully vegan, with the rest of the dietary detail on the allergens page. Three of the bakes are seasonal rather than permanent. The Hot Cross Bun, the Chocolate Cornflake Nest and the Cookie Sandwich come and go with the calendar, so catch them while they are on the board.

Costa Snacks Menu

Snacks mix Costa's own Scottish bakes with shelf brands like Tyrrells, Graze, Popchips and Bounce, which explains the swing from 53 kcal to 396 in a single table. The Scottish bakes, meaning the stem ginger, the fruit and oat and the shortbreads, are Costa's own recipes and the picks regulars tend to rate, while the branded bags do the job when you just want something salty. Everything here comes packaged, so it travels well with a takeaway drink.

How Much Does Costa Cost in 2026? UK Price Guide

Costa prices in 2026 start at £1.95 for an Espresso and reach £6.80 for the Mac & Cheese, and most of what people order sits between £4.20 and £5.80. The cheapest drinks on the menu are the plain teas, which run from £3.35 to £3.75, and the most expensive drinks are the iced matcha lattes, which reach £6.35.

Size changes the price on drinks, and Costa sizes its hot drinks as Primo, Regular and Massimo and its cold drinks as Small, Medium and Large. The prices in the tables above are the medium prices, because those are the figures Costa publishes alongside its calorie information, and we have not listed separate Primo or Massimo prices here because we cannot verify the exact split for every item. You can expect a larger size to cost more, so treat the figures below as starting prices rather than fixed totals.

Prices also vary by location for three reasons. London stores and sites in stations and airports generally charge more than a high street branch outside the capital. Some Costa sites are franchises, and those operators set their own prices within a range. Eat-in and takeaway prices can also differ, because the VAT treatment is not the same for a drink you consume on the premises and a drink you take away with you.

The cheapest ways to order are simple enough. A plain tea costs £3.35, an Americano costs £4.20 hot or iced, and a toastie from the £4.89 group gives you a hot lunch for less than the price of a panini. If you want the most for your money on the food side, the Ham & Cheese Toastie at £4.89 and 356 kcal is the best value hot item on the menu.

Costa Calories & Nutrition Guide

Calorie counts on the Costa menu run from 3 kcal for a plain tea up to 604 kcal for the All Day Breakfast Wrap, and every drink figure below is for the standard medium build, semi-skimmed milk unless the row says otherwise. If you change the milk, change the size or add syrup and whipped cream, your figure will move, sometimes by a wide margin.

If you are deciding between the two drinks people ask us about most, a medium Latte on the standard milk comes in at 151 kcal for £4.80, and a medium Hot Chocolate comes in at 298 kcal for £4.85, so the hot chocolate carries almost twice the calories for five pence more. The White Hot Chocolate is the lighter of the two hot chocolates at 284 kcal, and the Americano is the low-calorie coffee option at 18 kcal, which makes it the sensible swap if you drink several coffees a day.

Three things change the calorie count on any drink. The milk choice is the biggest one, because semi-skimmed milk carries more calories than a skinny option and plant milks vary between them. The size is next, because a Massimo holds considerably more milk than a Primo. Syrups, whipped cream and drizzles sit on top of that, and they are the reason a frappé can sit 200 kcal above a latte of the same size. Food runs the opposite way to drinks: the lightest items are the packaged snacks, and the heaviest are the made-to-order wraps and toasties, so swapping a wrap for a sandwich roughly halves the count.

We publish these figures as a reference for people who want to know what they are ordering. This page is not medical or dietary advice, and if you are managing a health condition you should speak to a professional rather than relying on menu figures alone.

Customising Your Order: Milk, Syrups & Extras

Costa lets you swap the milk on any drink, and the plant-based options normally available are oat, soya, almond and coconut, which changes the calorie count rather than the base price in most stores. Adding an extra shot of espresso, a flavoured syrup or whipped cream adds both cost and calories, so an oat milk latte will sit at a different figure from the 151 kcal we list for a semi-skimmed medium Latte.

Because syrup availability and pricing change through the year, the full flavour list gets its own syrups and customisation guide rather than a list squeezed into this page. Decaf is another swap on any espresso drink, and it costs nothing and changes no calorie figure, which makes it the easy choice for an evening order.

Vegan, Gluten-Free & Allergen Options at a Glance

Costa flags its vegan and gluten-free items on the menu itself, and there are enough of them across food and drink that you can build a full order without needing to ask at the counter. The table below gives you the headline options in each category, and Costa labels its allergen information in store so you can check any item before you buy it.

Two drinks on the current menu cannot be made dairy free even with a plant-based milk, and those are the Sweet Ube Hot Chocolate and the two iced whipped lattes, because other ingredients in the recipe contain milk.

Costa Seasonal Menus 2026: Christmas & Autumn

Costa runs two big seasonal ranges each year, and neither of them appears on the standard menu boards, so you will not find them in the tables above.

Christmas Menu. Costa's festive range lands in the autumn and runs through to early January, with limited-edition hot drinks, frappés and a Christmas cake counter. The full list, launch date and festive calorie counts live in the Christmas menu guide.

Autumn Menu. The autumn range brings the Maple Hazel and Pumpkin Spice drinks back, along with matching bakes. The full list sits in the autumn menu guide.

Saving Money: Deals, Student Discount & Costa Club

There are three main ways to spend less at Costa, and each one gets its own page once the site is built, because the details change regularly.

• Student discount. Costa offers a student discount, plus a free birthday treat and reward codes through the year. The current terms live in the student discount and deals guide.
• Costa Club. The loyalty scheme collects points on every purchase and converts them into free drinks, and it also covers gift cards. The Costa Club guide explains how it works.
• Order smart. The cheapest hot drink is the Espresso at £1.95, and the £4.89 toastie group is the cheapest hot food on the menu.

Costa Locations & Opening Hours

Costa has more than 4,000 stores across the UK and beyond, and the store you visit sets both the price and the hours, so it is worth checking before you travel. The locations guide finds your nearest store, the drive-thru guide lists the ones you can order from by car, and the opening hours page covers standard hours along with bank holiday and Christmas opening.

About Costa Coffee

Costa Coffee was founded in London in 1971 by the Italian brothers Sergio and Bruno Costa, and it has grown from a single roastery into more than 4,000 stores across more than 30 countries. Whitbread bought the business in 1995, and The Coca-Cola Company acquired it in 2019 for $4.9 billion.

Every coffee drink on the menu is built on the Costa Signature Blend, which combines Arabica and Robusta beans, and that blend is what gives the latte, cappuccino and flat white their shared base flavour. Costa has also invested in sustainability, committing to recycling the cups it sells and working to reduce its environmental impact across the estate.

How We Update Prices & Calories

We check every price and calorie figure on this page against Costa UK and in-store menu boards, and this version was verified in September 2026. Calorie figures are quoted for a medium drink made with semi-skimmed milk unless the item says otherwise, because that is the standard build Costa publishes its figures against.

Prices vary by store, by region and by whether you eat in or take away, so the figures here are guide prices rather than a guarantee of what you will be charged. This is an independent guide and we are not affiliated with Costa Coffee or The Coca-Cola Company. If you spot a price or a calorie figure that does not match your local store, tell us and we will check it against the next update.
