I've heard so much about this chain, so when I arrived to London I was so excited to try it! My hotel I was staying at was across the street, so perfect!
I got to Costa and after a quick browse at their menu, I opted for one of the holiday drinks - the hazelnut praline and cream latte (I couldn't get a dairy alternative in the hot chocolate, so I opted for the latte instead) and my friend ordered the Black Forest hot chocolate.
We decided to sit down and enjoy our drinks rather than go back and chill at the hotel. I love how their drinks actually come in mugs (unlike the regular coffee chains I go to in the States) and how well decorated they are! The drinks itself however are alright, they were a little sweet, but that is what you'd expect from a holiday drink. They're a little pricey imo, but I noticed a lot of things were pricey in London.
Overall, Costa's alright. I did enjoy my experience, and I would definitely pick this over any of the chains we have in the States. read more
