Costa Coffee in United Arab Emirates
The UAE is one of Costa's largest markets outside the United Kingdom, with an estate well into the hundreds of stores concentrated in malls, airports and fuel stations. That mix is telling: the Emirates reward formats that catch people in transit, and Costa has built accordingly.
Airport presence matters disproportionately here. Dubai is one of the busiest international hubs in the world, and a coffee brand with strong terminal coverage reaches a volume of customers that has nothing to do with the resident population.
Menus are halal, with the food range adapted for local taste and a heavier emphasis on iced drinks than the British estate carries - A straightforward consequence of the climate.
The Emirati board here carries 53 prices. Costa is British, so the UK board is the fullest one we hold at 89 items and the natural comparison for a Gulf franchise.

About Costa Coffee
From a London Roastery to the Nation’s Favourite Cup
The story of Costa Coffee began in 1971, when Italian brothers Sergio and Bruno Costa set out to bring a taste of authentic Italian coffee to London. Starting with a small roastery on Fenchurch Street, they supplied their signature blend to local caterers and delicatessens. Their dedication to crafting the perfect cup led to the creation of the Mocha Italia blend - A harmonious mix of Arabica and Robusta beans, slow-roasted for a rich, smooth flavor. In 1981, the brothers opened their first coffee shop on Vauxhall Bridge Road, introducing Londoners to espresso and cappuccino served in porcelain cups, a novelty at the time. This commitment to quality and innovation laid the foundation for Costa Coffee's growth into a beloved coffeehouse chain.
Crafting Moments, One Cup at a Time
At the heart of Costa Coffee's menu is the Mocha Italia blend, a testament to the Costa brothers' pursuit of coffee perfection. Each cup is brewed to highlight the blend's rich aroma and smooth taste. Beyond coffee, the menu offers a variety of options to cater to diverse tastes and dietary needs. From classic lattes and cappuccinos to innovative seasonal offerings like the Spanish Latte, which combines espresso with sweetened condensed milk for a creamy, sweet flavor, there's something for everyone. Complementing the beverages are food items such as the Nacho and Chilli Cheese Toastie and the Tiramisu Cookie Sandwich, providing delightful pairings for any time of day.
Brewing Connections Beyond Coffee
Costa Coffee believes in the power of community and strives to be more than just a coffee shop. Each store features a Community Noticeboard, allowing local events and news to be shared, fostering a sense of connection among patrons. The establishment's commitment extends globally through initiatives like the Costa Foundation, launched in 2007, aiming to eradicate poverty in coffee-growing communities by building schools and supporting education. Additionally, the Community Grants program, started in 2021, empowers team members to nominate local charities for support, with over £30,000 donated to 60 charities in 2023 alone. These efforts reflect Costa Coffee's dedication to making a positive impact, one community at a time.
