The nation’s favourite coffee shop, Costa, has opened its first food-led concept store, Costa Fresco, in London.
The specially designed store environment, exclusive to Costa, features designated zones for relaxing and a new way of presenting freshly baked food. Specially trained staff are on hand to advise, bake and serve the new menu of oven-fresh food, along with Costa’s barista made coffee.
Tasty, handcrafted food
The brand new menu features handcrafted ciabattas and pastries, warm melt in the mouth cookies and fresh fruit juices, all using quality ingredients. Whether it is for breakfast, lunch or a light snack, menu options include a Rustico Dry Cured Ham and Mature Cheddar Flatbread, Roasted Pork Belly with Caramelised Braeburn Apple and Onion Ciabatta and Citrus Chelsea Buns.
The Costa Fresco concept is inspired by the Costa brother’s Italian passion and respect for tasty handcrafted food. When Sergio and Bruno opened their first store in London, over forty years ago, they used to offer their customers freshly baked pastries each morning with their famous Mocha Italia blend, which Costa still serve today.
Carol Welch, Costa’s Global Brand and Innovation Director, describes the new store as “a fusion of London’s handcrafted bakeries brought to life by our heritage, Italian passion and gusto for vibrant ingredients and genuinely good food.”
Exciting things to come from Costa
She added: “The opening of Costa Fresco is a reflection of exciting things to come from Costa. We are committed to continuing to innovate and delight our customers with what they want – quality food, alongside irresistible coffee in a warm, welcoming environment.”
Costa Fresco is located at 190 Tottenham Court Road with opening times 6:30am to 20:00pm Monday to Friday, 7:30am-19:30pm Saturday and 8:00am to 19:30pm on Sunday.
