Nearest Costa

[tetris]

So... where is one?

Nero we've got by the roundabout, Starbucks is now married to Sainsbury's, but where's the nearest Costa?

I quite like my Coffee Cooler, and they're unfortunately the only franchise that do it (Starbucks Coffee Frapuccinno is not the same thing) -- but a quick google search shows that there aren't any for miles around.

That can't be right can it? There must be one on Denmark Hill at least?

There is one on Denmark Hill (west side).

It comes up on Costa's website.

Ah yes you're right - http://www.costa.co.uk/locations/store-locator/

I knew there must be one on that high street somewhere

Cheers!

Cheers for Costa who pay all their taxes, I believe.

Brixton high streer,also now a Costa Coffee in Camberwell high street.

Looks very nice very large.

Started in Lambeth, pays tax in the UK. Best of the big chains IMO. That said - there are a lot of independents round here that serve far superior brews with more 'soul'.

[MissMadMoo]

There one due to open shortly in Crystal Palace.

1 in Camberwell high street

Why are you looking for a Costa specifically?

[Michael Palaeologus]

I have noticed that Costa are usually the first of the coffee chains to move into an area.

Their coffee coolers are my jam. I know that Starbucks do something similar, but it's 10x more sugary and sticky.

Last time I tried Nero they practically laughed me out the shop when I asked for it, and I'm reasonably sure the local cafe's (though offering probably superior coffee blends) don't do it.

A coffee cooler? No idea what it is.

No idea really about any of these poncey coffees.

I'm quite happy with a spoon of instant, one sugar and boiling water.

[uncleglen]

You can buy their coffee in Sainsbury's the nearest is the foyer of King's College Hospital I believe.

^ didn't know Kings even had a Sainsbury's -- cheers.

Ah you're not missing much, but essentially if it's a really hot day and you want a cold drink that will last you a long long time -- then a coffee cooler is the way to go:

Take a sip, top it up with water (x1000)
