Riepilogo rapido

Costa Coffee is best used as a drink stop for FODMAP dieters. Their coffee and tea options work well with dairy alternatives, but food options are very limited.

Scelte migliori: Coffee/tea with lactose-free or almond milk

Evitare sempre: Regular milk drinks, most food items

Costa’s Milk Alternatives

Costa offers several non-dairy milks:

Lactose-Free✅ Best choiceReal milk taste, Senza lactose
Almond Milk✅ SafeLow FODMAP
Coconut Milk✅ SafeIn normal coffee amounts
Oat Milk⚠️ CautionCross-contamination from steaming wand

Important: Costa uses the same steaming wand for ALL milks, including oat milk. This means potential cross-contamination for those with glutine sensitivity.

Food Options - Very Limited

Costa’s food is mostly problematic:

What to Avoid

  • Sandwiches - grano Pane, often contain cipolla
  • Wraps - grano tortillas
  • Toasties - grano Pane, Formaggio (lactose)
  • Croissants - grano flour, butter
  • Pastries - grano flour
  • Soup - Typically contains cipolla

Potentially Safe

Some Costa locations have:

  • glutine-free brownies - Check ingredients for high FODMAP items
  • Freschi fruit - Choose FODMAP-friendly options
  • Some protein pots - Check what’s available

Always check the ingredients even on GF items - glutine-free doesn’t mean FODMAP-free.

Cross-Contamination Warning

Costa’s allergen guide states they cannot guarantee products are allergen-free. Key concerns:

  1. Shared steaming wand for all milks
  2. Shared preparation areas for food
  3. Same display cases for all items

If you have severe sensitivities, mention this when ordering.

Come ordinare

For a safe coffee:

“Can I have a medium flat white with lactose-free milk please?”

Or:

“Americano with a splash of almond milk, please.”

For food questions:

“Do you have any glutine-free options? And can I see the ingredients?”
