If you are checking Costa calories before ordering your favourite coffee or lunch, knowing the calorie content can help you compare different menu options. A black Americano, a creamy latte, a chocolate frappé and a sandwich can have very different nutritional values, even when they are part of the same coffee shop menu. The calories depend on the specific product, serving size, ingredients and any changes made to your order.
This Costa Nutrition guide brings together selected drinks and food items, with calorie tables to make comparisons easier. You will also learn which listed Costa drinks have fewer calories, how milk and syrups can affect your order, and where to find the latest official nutritional information.

Costa Coffee Calories: Hot Drinks
Hot coffee is a popular choice at Costa, but the calorie content changes depending on whether you order black coffee, a milk-based drink or a flavoured latte.
Costa Hot Coffee Calories Table
| Costa Hot Coffee | Calories |
|---|---|

| Caramel Nutcracker Latte | From 251 kcal |
Prices and calories are the figures supplied for this guide. They may differ from Costa’s latest official information or from the values for a different drink size.
How Many Calories Are in a Costa Latte?
The Caffè Latte is listed at 148 calories in the menu information used here. A latte combines espresso with steamed milk, so its calorie content is influenced by the milk used and the serving size.
Flavoured versions can have different values. For example, the Maple Hazel Latte is listed at 274 kcal, while the Spanish Latte is listed at 228 kcal.
If you want to compare latte calories accurately, check the exact drink, size and milk option rather than applying the calorie figure for a standard latte to every variation.
How Many Calories Are in a Costa Cappuccino?
The Cappuccino is listed at 130 calories in this guide. It combines espresso with steamed and foamed milk.
Its calorie content may change depending on the serving size and preparation. A small cappuccino and a larger cappuccino should not automatically be treated as having the same calories.
Costa Americano Calories
The Americano is one of the lower-calorie coffee options in the supplied table.
| Costa Americano | Calories |
|---|---|
| Americano (Black) | 18 kcal |
| Americano (White) | 35 kcal |
The black version contains no added milk in the listed preparation, while the white version includes a splash of milk. This difference helps explain the calorie variation.
An Americano can be a useful option if you prefer a straightforward coffee without the milk and flavourings used in many other drinks. However, additions such as milk, sugar or syrup can change the total.
Costa Iced Coffee Calories
Costa’s iced coffee range includes traditional iced espresso drinks, flavoured lattes and drinks with whipped toppings. These products can have different calorie values because of their ingredients and preparation methods.
Costa Iced Drinks Calories Table
| Costa Iced Drink | Calories |
|---|---|
| Maple Hazel Iced Latte | 265 kcal |
| Spanish Iced Latte | 215 kcal |
| Iced Oat Velvetino | 142 kcal |

| Peach Ice Tea | 107 kcal |
How Many Calories Are in a Costa Iced Latte?
The Iced Latte is listed at 102 calories in this guide. It offers a cold coffee option made with espresso and milk.
The final calorie count can depend on the drink’s size, milk choice and any additional ingredients. Flavoured iced drinks and versions with whipped toppings may have higher values.
If you are comparing iced drinks, check the exact product name because an Iced Latte, a flavoured iced latte and a whipped iced coffee are not nutritionally interchangeable.
Costa Frappé Calories

Costa Hot Chocolate and Tea Calories

How to Choose a Lower-Calorie Costa Drink
If you want to compare drinks with fewer calories, there are several practical things to consider.
Choose a simpler coffee
An Americano without added milk or sugar can have fewer calories than a flavoured latte or a chocolate-based drink. The exact difference depends on the recipes and serving sizes being compared.
Check the size
A larger drink may contain more milk or other ingredients than a smaller one. Compare the nutritional information for the specific size you intend to order.
Consider syrups and toppings
Flavoured syrups, sauces, whipped toppings and other additions can affect a drink’s calorie content. Check the product information for the complete drink rather than looking only at its base coffee.
Compare milk options carefully
Different milk options may change the nutritional values of a drink. The difference depends on the milk, quantity used and recipe, so do not assume every alternative automatically contains fewer calories.
Look at your full order
If you order a latte, sandwich and cake together, the total is the sum of the whole order. Checking the calories in each item gives you a more useful picture than comparing the coffee alone.
These are general comparison tips, not medical or dietary advice. Choose foods and drinks that suit your own needs and preferences.
Do Costa Calories Change With Milk and Syrups?
Yes, changing the ingredients in a handcrafted drink can affect its nutritional value. Milk contributes energy, protein, fat and carbohydrate, while syrups and sauces can add other ingredients, including sugar.
For the most accurate comparison:
- Check the product’s standard nutritional information.
- Confirm the size you are ordering.
- Ask how a milk substitution affects the drink if the information is not clear.
- Check whether syrups, sauces or toppings are included in the listed calories.
- Use Costa’s current information rather than relying on an older menu or a third-party calorie estimate.
Costa also warns that not every drink can be made dairy-free simply by changing the milk. Some recipes contain milk in other ingredients, so customers with allergies should consult the official allergen guide.
Where Can You Find Official Costa Calorie Information?
The most reliable source for current Costa Coffee calories is Costa’s own UK website.
Use these resources:
- Costa Coffee Menu — browse current food and drink options.
- Costa Nutrition Information — find nutrition and allergen guidance.
- Costa Allergen Information — review allergen advice and information about food preparation.
Costa explains that nutritional information can be found through its menu and related guides. It also advises customers to check information regularly because ingredients and products can change.
If you have a serious allergy or intolerance, tell a team member before ordering. Costa uses shared equipment in its stores and cannot guarantee that handcrafted drinks and unpackaged products are free from allergens.
