It’s beginning to look (and taste!) a lot like Christmas at Costa Coffee

You know christmas is just around the corner when you start seeing Christmas themed coffees everywhere and I mean it !

It’s beginning to look (and taste!) a lot like Christmas because nothing spells Y-u-l-e-t-i-d-e more than COSTA COFFEE spreading festive cheer! It pulled out all the stops as it launches festive drinks, cakes and pastries that are the perfect reasons to indulge this season, #Londonstyle!

Coffee with a Christmas twist
Warm up to six new hot drinks and Frostino flavours including last year’s Christmas favourite, the Billionaire’s Hot Chocolate and the well-loved Golden Hazelnut Chocolate Frostino. Billionaire’s Hot Chocolate oozes with layers of luxurious caramel sauce, chocolate, and is topped with shortbread crumbs while the Golden Hazelnut Chocolate Frostino provides the extra chocolate boost you’ll need to keep your sugar rush at pace with the Holiday rush.

Two other reasons to warm up or get cold and cuddle during this nippy season are the Salted Pistachio Mocha, available both hot and in Frostino; plus the new Golden Hazelnut Hot Chocolate, another chocolate-y choice with heaps of Holiday decadence. Finally, treat yourself to a Candy Cane Frostino, your favourite frostino peppered with colorful candy cane sprinkles.
All these delicious drinks are served in eye-catching festive cups that features cute characters such as the snowman, gingerbread man & Santa Claus himself. 

Festive food for the merry season
To match all these are merry pastries and indulgent desserts to get a little naughty and nice about. Treat yourself to a slice of Purple Glaze Cake and get the best of both ube sponge cake and

custard filling. The Choco Mint Cake, meanwhile, is a seriously rich chocolate cake with peppermint cream filling and topped with Maraschino cherries. But if you want simple and nostalgic sweetness, the Candy Cane Cake (vanilla cake with cream cheese frosting and topped with sprinkles and candy cane) is a good pick.

Enjoy a classic favourite with a twist when you bite into the Cheesecake Yule Bar, coated with chocolate ganache. Or sink your sweet tooth into the chocolate-coated Gingerbread Cookies stuffed with cream cheese.

Trick or Treat with Costa Coffee Wicked Eye Frostino

Halloween season? It’s time for a coffin break! This spook-tacular season should also be about coffee, not just candies. True enough, COSTA COFFEE has a hair-raising ice-blended concoction to keep you cool you this Halloween.

Introducing, the Wicked Eye Frostino! Ice-blended, greyish black, and luxuriously tempting, this sinful cup is a pure treat, no tricks. After all, it is Costa Coffee’s signature ice blended beverage that promises to deliver that feeling of delightful indulgence.  It is available from October 18 until November 2 at all Costa Coffee branches.

What makes the Wicked Eye Frostino special is the fact that it’s infused with activated charcoal, today’s innovative ingredient that lends a murky yet sweet and creamy taste (with some ghostly hints of strawberry) in every sip.

So whether you’re out with your ghoul-friends for some witch-ful thinking, a group of ghosts hanging out for a fang-tastic break, or a brave soul ready for some chills and thrills this Halloween, walk through the door of any Costa Coffee store nearest you and this special limited-time-only coffee will give you a wicked great time. Drink it if you dare.

Pair your Costa Coffee's Cold Brew with the new wafflewich and save up to P80!

Since I am watching my diet and love coffee. I have been trying on these cold brews nowadays. They are just plain cold coffee without the sugar and cream. They are my new addiction aside of course from fruit and brewed teas.


COSTA COFFEE pumps some adrenaline rush to the ber months, beginning this September by introducing a new and refreshing way to get your caffeine fix! Have a cup of Costa Coffee’s Cold Brew, a new and #Londonstyle kind of cool way to jumpstart any day.

Costa Coffee serves seven premium flavours of its latest coffee innovation: the classic and thirst-quenching Cold Brew Black and Cold Brew White, the naturally sweet Cold Brew Caramel, the creamy Cold Brew Vanilla, the sparkling Cold Brew Mojito that comes with a bit of fizz and mint flavour, and the silky well-balanced Cold Brew with Whipped Milk.

Each was designed to enhance the taste profile of the slow brewed, single-origin blend and offer discerning coffee lovers with cold coffee teeming with a rich and balanced flavour. Coffee aficionados can also enjoy Costa Coffee’s Ice Shaken Flat White with Whipped Milk.

These smooth, chilled drinks are handcrafted from 100% single origin, carefully-selected Arabica Colombian beans that are immersed in fresh filtered water and brewed in-store by baristas for 20 hours to bring out the coffee’s natural sweetness. The brew is then chilled for at least 12 hours before being serving over ice to produce a smooth and light texture. And because the slow brewing process does not use heat, coffee acidity is reduced, resulting in a more distinct taste.

Costa Coffee also launches its new line of Wafflewich, a fusion of light and fluffy waffle toasts with your favourite filling or spread—to simulate a sandwich. There’s the Choco Banana Wafflewich with choco-hazelnut cream & banana slices, Berry Butter Wafflewich that’s oozing with strawberry jam and butter shavings, and the Cream Cheese Wafflewich slathered and packed with cream cheese goodness.

But can all these get any better? It can! Because there’s a “Wafflewich Combo” beginning September 6! Now you can now pair your desired Cold Brew coffee (all in Primo size) and pair it with any Wafflewich of your choice for P250 only (up to P80 savings).

So, grab Costa Coffee’s brrrand new Cold Brew at the following branches: Robinsons Galleria; Robinsons Place Manila; Robinsons Place Antipolo; Robinsons Metro East; Robinsons Supermarket, Robinsons Galleria; Robinsons Supermarket, Robinsons Place Manila; Robinsons Selections, Venice Grand Canal; Robinsons Equitable Tower; Robinsons Summit Center; Robinsons Cyber Sigma, McKinley West; Robinsons Tera Tower, Bridgetown; Cebu Pacific Air Building, Pasay City; Robinsons Cybergate Tower 3; Citywalk 1, Eastwood; U.P. Town Center; The Block, SM North Edsa and SM City Manila.  The “Wafflewich Combo” is available in all stores except kiosks.)

Costa Coffee's Flagship Store Opens in Robinson's Galleria

COSTA COFFEE, the nation's favourite coffee shop and the largest and fastest growing coffee shop chain in the UK opens its 135-sqm flagship store in Robinsons Galleria. This 7th outlet in Robinsons Galleria branch is the first to sport the contemporary Atlas interior, the current look and feel of Costa Coffee shops around the world.

I remember sipping my first Flat White coffee with a slice of Red Velvet cake at Al Khalidiya in UAE. From then on, my coffee fix would be at Al Khalidiya,  its the nearest coffee shop where I stayed for a year. When I came back here in Manila, my flat white coffee craving was satisfied when a Costa Coffee was launched in BGC 2 years ago. I attended the opening event and the rest was history.

Costa Coffee is famous for their flat white coffee, cappuccino,  frostino, (the brand's best selling ice-blended coffee) fresh sandwiches, delicious and creamy cheesecakes and moist red velvet cakes. I was invited to grace the Robinsons Galleria launch last May 11.  It was the biggest branch so far decorated with array of wood and polished materials with background hues of purple and green.

Instead of the usual Union Jack pop art interiors, it has a new lighting design, a simpler and more streamlined array of wood and polished materials, and berry hues of purple and green. These rich tones and other stylish aspects will be splashed in its interior—from the tiles to the furniture, to still allude to London’s rich and iconic culture.

Better Baristas Craft Better Coffee 

At Costa Coffee, baristas prepare coffee with a combination of technical skills and art that takes time and patience to perfect. “The machines just provide support because our baristas are professionally trained. They are experts who prepare coffee with passion and precision. They can tell the perfect espresso (hazelnut colored crema, no bubbles and with red tinges) through sight, taste and smell. These are what make Costa different from others,” explained Justin dela Fuente, Costa Coffee Philippines Barista of the Year 2016.

There are a lot of beverages to choose from. The signature Flat White has extracted shot of Cortissimo, then topped with textured milk resulting in an intense and rich coffee mellowed with velvety smooth texture. Other bestsellers are Capuccino, Latte, Café Caramella, Mocha and ice-blended  Frostinos.

The Stars of Summer: All-new Frostinos, Coolers and Food Items

Costa Coffee invites you to grab new Frostinos and Coolers with  flavors that will give your days that much-need boost.

The Caramel Coffee Crunch Frostino (Primo-P185; Medio-P200; Massimo-P205) is a flavor-wonderland where caramel melds seamlessly with a shot of Mocha Italia espresso, finished with cookie crumbs.

Indulgent is the word to describe Tiramisu Frostino (Primo-P185; Medio-P200; Massimo-P215). Delight in its rich smoothness, infused with a perfect espresso shot of Mocha Italia blend and topped with cocoa dusting.

Coffee Cream Frostino (Primo-P145; Medio-P155; Massimo-P165) is an instant classic.  There is the Mocha Italia’s wonderful balance of berry fruitiness and caramel-hazelnut blended with cream that presents a fine and luxurious taste.

Costa Coffee’s Coolers are meant to refresh and invigorate you amidst the sweltering heat.  They’re a harmonious blend of fruits and the aroma of flowers. Try Watermelon Rose (Primo-P155; Medio-P170; Massimo-P185);  Lychee Blossom (Primo P175; Medio P190; Massimo P205) and  Hibiscus Strawberry Cooler (Primo P175; Medio P190; Massimo P205) 

Along with these drinks are new savory offerings.

Bacon Croissant (P100)

Order the Bacon Croissant (P100) with either smoked or honey-cured bacon and enjoy with Caramel Coffee Crunch Frostino.

Ham and Egg Croissant (P150)

Another choice is Ham and Egg Croissant (P150). You’d love this sandwich with Tiramisu Frostino.
