Starbucks or Costa?

[balloontrip]

Which do you prefer?

I like Costa's coffee but Starbucks for food!!

Starbucks for drinks. Only go to Costa for food sometimes.

These days neither, they are always dirty, disappointing and over priced. If pushed then Starbucks.

Starbucks is my favourite chain coffee. I try to avoid food from any of them though.

Ohh yes, Nero is better all round. Betwixt the others I’d say Starbucks as Costa can be hit and miss. Neither Starbucks or Costa can make a decent macchiato: they taste just like lattes!

Starbucks. When I go to a Costa or a Starbucks, I'm usually treating myself to a flavoured coffee. As long as I give Pumpkin Spice a swerve, Starbucks has more interesting drinks.

When I want an Americano or a flat white, my local indie cafe is the best. They work with a really good local coffee roaster.

If I had to, Costa, but Black Sheep is my fav I think they are still just in London though.

McDonald's coffee is surprisingly good.

Caffè Nero if you actually like coffee.
Starbucks is brown water which only sells because of gallons of flavours sugary syrups and cream added to it. I haven't been to a single one that can make a decent coffee.
Costa is slightly better out of the two.

Ooh. Costa for hot drinks, Starbucks for cold. (Except iced lattes as Costa do the best one!)

I don't like costa coffee, so choose Starbucks. TBH the staff in my local our very lovely, always greet me by name and are very cheerful.

I do try and use some independent coffee shops but so many the cups size is so small 2 sips and the coffee is gone, when you pay £3+ for a coffee I feel a bit robbed so end up using Starbucks where a coffee for £3+ lasts me much more than 2/3 sips

Cafe Nero or BP wild bean - too many calories but live a cheese and bacon pastry.

Starbucks. We've got a great drive through that's very temptingly on my way to work after dropping the kids off at school. Really like their honey hazelnut oat lattes at the moment. Need to try and replicate them at home as it costs a fortune on a regular basis

Starbucks coffee
Costa cakes

Not a lover of either really but at a push Starbucks.

Costa is minging all around. Starbucks is alright

Starbucks. Costa don't accept a Blue light card!!!!

Neither. I go to independent coffee shops who pay their taxes!

Neither 😬, I would prefer to go to a local privately owned coffee shop, farm shop or garden centre. Sadly Costa have taken over a local garden centre. Starbucks makes me feel I’ll and the cakes in Costa or awful and over priced.

Costa over Starbucks, but I prefer old Costa before they sold out to Coca-Cola, over new Costa.

Costa because I hate the tea in Starbucks- tastes like dishwater.

Totally agree with this, I loved the mushroom and emmental toastie too. I still generally prefer Costa though, I don’t like giving my name at Starbucks so I’ve had to invent a “Starbucks name”.

Costa. Stopped going to Starbucks when they didn't pay their taxes

Live near both.
Costa has a better atmosphere, is welcoming and clean whilst Starbucks is full of dirty tables and staff are unfriendly. It is also freezing cold in Starbucks.
Prefer Costa drinks and cakes. Never tried anything savoury from either.

Neither, Nero followed by maccies.

I’m heading to a Starbucks tomorrow, meeting a friend I’ve not seen for 3 years.

I always go for iced coffee (vanilla)

can someone recommend something different? Sweet, hot or cold. :)

I don’t really know my coffees ect but I’d like to try something different!

(sorry for jumping on)

Thank you! I searched on Google what the hell has happened to Costa marshmallows! What the hell are they? And why can't they keep the black forest hot chocolate all year round?
I prefer costa (marshmallows aside) because their hot chocolates are much nicer, they do a lovely lemon muffin and I can't forgive Starbucks for their tax evasion tactics. Also, costa are everywhere by me.
I do go to an independent coffee shop each day for my lunch though. They do lovely coffee but awful hot chocolate.
