Costa Coffee in Wirral

This place is just average. Staff is friendly. There are so many great coffee shops in the Carlsbad area that I would say this is a B list. Latte was good but not great like you’d get at other spots like vigilante and bird rock.

Stop looking, this is the place. I’ve tried over 25 shops in San Diego county and this is number 1. Best coffee I’ve ever had, best beans I’ve ever purchased, massive variety of pastries and other options, reasonable prices, great atmosphere. The owner Doug knows his stuff and has a clear passion for this craft. There’s a reason this shop is always packed.

Came here because of the reviews. • Girl cashier wasn't nice. Not overtly rude, but not nice. • The food I got was stale. I tried to power through it because I'm hungry but I don't like eating hard bread. Can't finish it • Drink tasted okay but they forgot to do half-caffeine so I couldn't drink all of it. • Everything was pricey for the quality. I've been to better places, I will not return.

Excellent friendly staff. Brilliant food at cheap/affordable prices. Brilliant variety of food including healthy options.

Very cute place very near to many apartments. Would recommend for a yummy coffee

Great coffee!! I buy a pound at a time.

Great coffee, fresh roasted. Best prices.

Yes I imagine but hey eueyeuw nonononon

Their roasts taste amazing! I love visiting La Costa Coffee Roasting as they're one of the highest quality coffee spots around.

Recommended to my friends and family

Not great coffee. My girlfriend got a hazelnut latte that was especially bad. Overall fine but I wouldn’t come back.

👍👍👍 incredible coffee! Our friend recommended we try them out and we weren't disappointed

Don't waste your time here if you like quality coffee. The have a list of their delicious-sounding in-house roasted coffees, but they don't offer pour over or french press or any other way to try the beans before buying an entire bag. Opted for a cold brew instead but it tasted like day-old drip brew that had been shoved in the fridge with hopes that it could be pawned off as an actual drink.

My Brother-In-Law gets his coffee beans here and recommended. I was able to see Doug at work roasting the beans. Our favorite local coffee roasters. Tried a hot espresso latte and it was very good. Ended up buying a small bag of Snickerdoodle coffee in a small bag and fired up the Moccamaster and home the next day and it was very flavorful. You will love La Costa Coffee Roasting!

Love the pastries, tea selection and the staff!

Thanks for keeping me moving in the morning.

Great selection of syrup flavours. Coffee roasted on premise.

This establishment is definitely open. Visited on 26th January. Very busy. Appeared to be only two staff available. One clearing tables and one dealing with a longish queue. I have to say that I was mesmerised by Jade. Her speed and accuracy in taking the orders and then completing the orders was something else. I have been in other Costa's with two or three staff serving and taking longer. The coffees as always of good quality. The loos and general cleanliness totally up to the mark. 10 out of 10 for all aspects and special mention again for Jade.

Great coffee all the time and around the holidays their egg nog latte is really good.

Great coffee with a nice vibe. Frequently live music outside.

Always like to take a bike ride to this location. Sugar free vanilla latte is my favorite. Have had some other biscuits and bagels and are also amazing. Lovely patio to sit out and just enjoy the afternoon

Great coffee! And the live music in the early afternoon was a vibe! Definitely coming back when I'm in town

May have ordered the wrong things but my stale croissant and average cappuccino were not worth the detour.

My favorite local coffee shop: high quality drinks without the crazy-high price tag. I recommend the honey nut latte or coffee ice blended. They also have a great rewards program: buy 10 get one free and a free drink on your real bday and half bday!

Went on a business trip and went here all three days vanilla bean americano, subtle sweet so good and the pastries, tried and liked something different everyday and they had a jazz band one day! Great patio area so good!!

Coffee and service are always great

Excellently dark-roasted whole beans. Tasty pastries. Nice, welcoming atmosphere. Semi-hidden but worth finding.

I tried many of the finest coffee places in greater San Diego. Hands down, La Costa Coffee Roasting is the Best! The quality of coffee, their variety, and the value at La Costa Coffee Roasting are all world class. And the staff know coffee. I’m so grateful to have finally discovered this place. I highly recommend if for the most discerning coffee enthusiast to the person looking for a great deal on outstanding coffee. This is the place!

Always call in when shopping excellent service especially Tia who understands her customers she'd be an asset in any setting

Pleasant space. Good coffee. Fast service. Confections looked tasty.

I love this little corner coffee shop, been going for close to 20 years and the drinks are consistently great. I love their roasted beans

This is what a coffee shop should be. Friendly staff and customers. Great ambiance and the smell of coffee is just lovely. Music always has the perfect coffeehouse vibe. Tea selection is vast and refreshing to see.

Our favorite local coffee roasters. The espresso is the best. Doug roasts all the beans on-site and he does a great job. Try a latte and homemade pastry. You will love La Costa Coffee Roasting!

A little noisy from the roaster, but otherwise a great place to sit with a laptop. Fast WiFi and outlets under the seats.

Sat outsidewith daughter she was dizzy got treated appallingly i had iced caramel latte with no caramel in she had tea in throw away cup a few others were treated bad too wont be returning.

Just been refurbished, nice and clean A BIG BUT though it's still very slow service and queing a lot, still you spend more time queing then eating your food nice staff but start using the two dispensers for drinks then one.

I love their roasted coffee beans.

My first time and coffee was amazing!

fav coffee shop ever. it’s always so chill, and peaceful, and the environment feels like home :) the matcha is so yummy, and the pastries are FIRE. the girls that work there are always so sweet and kind, and whoever controls the music does a STELLAR job holy cow. i’m slowly becoming a regular in this place <3

Great coffee, relaxing environment. Crazy that a coffee joint doesn't open until 7, though.

Very clean and coffee smell and taste is amazing. I live 1 hour away from there but it's totally worth it to get there to buy coffee beans.

I have been going to LCR for years. It is a great casual environment. perfect for meeting a friend or even a date. Lots of seating indoors and out. I love love love coffee and their mocha is one of my all time favorites.

Don't buy coffee here unless you want to buy it here forever. Once you start, nothing else will be good enough.

I just love this place so much. The coffee (I recommend the guatamalan), honey nut latte, and vanilla bean americano are my favorites. They always have new drinks to try, and their iced teas are brewed fresh. So good! The ambiance, music, and coffee scent is great for studying or doing school work, too.

If he's roasting you can smell it a mile away. Awesome local Coffee Shop.

Fine place, good coffee you can see them roasting, lots of tea options, outdoor seating in the sun.

Really good coffee beans that are roasted on site. My go-to place for fresh coffee for over 15 years. Strongly recommend.

The smell inside is intoxicating if you enjoy coffee and tea. Owner Doug is the man. Clearly a master of his trade. Great service, fantastic coffees and awesome tea flavors. Visit this small business and you'll be quite enamored with it!

Great coffee. Very reasonable prices too, compared to other coffee houses. They roast their own beans which means the coffee is fresh and delicious. I generally get the cold brew, which is delicious and very inexpensive compared to other places. This is my local go-to for great coffee. They also have amazing cheese danishes. I believe they supply the pastries for the local coffee trucks too.

Great place for meet ups n catching up with old friends

My wife took after talking the place up. Great coffee and service. Pretty fast service. Thanks to everyone who works there.

Despite grounding their coffee in house, coffee tasted terrible.

I haven't been here in a while as it is usually crowded. Today there weren't too many people and I was able to work for about 3 hours. However, about 2 hours into my visit a white woman comes to sit next to me. The coffee bean grinder decides that the sun must be bothering her but not me so he comes over to lower the shade and invites her to do it whenever she wants. Seriously?! Not sure if he was really just hitting on her but there was probably a better way to do that without making his actions appear discriminatory. The counter staff and baristas were friendly.

Great selection of coffee. Scones are tasty!

I'm from New Jersey visiting my brother and his family here in Carlsbad. He has a coffee bar maker that does everything except make a regular cup of coffee because it even puts a froth in regular coffee. He brought me to your coffee shop on Tuesday the 6th of September. The coffee was awesome, best I've had here since I've arrived. Thank you for just a good ole regular cup o' joe!

Good coffee good service good price nice seeing area inside and outside

I always enjoy the coffee here fresh and roasted to perfection. The owner Doug is so kind and knowledgeable. Thank you for being a light in the company.

This company has been open for many years. I went today after not visiting the shop since pre-pandemic. Prices are lower than the competitors. Drink was average at best. Quality seems to have gone down. May go back if I’m the area but would not go out of my way to go here.

Went here almost everyday on vacation. Great tasting coffee, delicious baked goods, and excellent staff!

Great coffee! The best is that they roast the coffee right there! Beautiful costumer service.

Came here yesterday with my dad. I went here a lot 7 or 8 years ago, so it was nice. It smelled the exact same. I got a brownie and apple juice like I always did. Tasted the exact same. Amazing overall.

Their Chai Tea Latte is awesome!

Been coming here since the early 2000’s. They just recently made their cups significantly smaller and used a LOT less mix in their amazing chai tea latte. It used to be the best but tastes so bland now all of a sudden. It makes me so sad because this has been my favorite coffee shop to go to for years. Such a shame :(

My folks love their Guatemala and Costa Rica blends - we drive from Rancho Penasquitos area to get coffee from them, and they are both very picky about their coffee (dad has even tried roasting his own). My cousin is also enamored of the wide selection they have of Monin syrups. La Costa doesn't push it as much, but they also have a great selection of loose leaf teas! It's difficult to find decaf blends and they offer the option to buy by the ounce.

Great local spot. I'll continue to get beans here, but with in store prices having gone up 50% recently (more expensive than even Birdrock now ..) I'll probably make my coffees at home from now on.

I’m amongst friends, right? Is it fair to say that we 🖤 (😉) our coffee? Well I know that I do, so when I walk in to @lacostacoffeeroasting and smell the roasting, grinding, and brewing of the beans while @official.raycharles is playing, only good things are about to happen! Although I wouldn’t describe their coffee selection as being extensive, no one on the review team for this Henry’s Take visit had anything but positive experiences. And that’s…Henry’s Take. @henrystake

The service was terrible. There was 3 staff on but the male staff member was only using one hand due to injury and was next to useless. The female barrista made one drink at a time irrespective of it being 2 station barrista machine and multiple drinks orders. We spent longer queuing for our food and drink than it too to eat it. Would not recommend.

Wouldn’t let me give you 5/5 for some reason…. Visited today for a cake and drink . Service was excellent, staff friendly , professional and polite especially Mark. The place was spotless…. Definitely worth visiting and has become my favorite place of mine visit to chat with friends and see what half price cake they have 😂 Everyone loves cake 🍰

Eh, not the best espresso to be honest. Way too hot, wasn’t dialed in… felt similar to a Peets or Starbucks. Wouldn’t go again…

A great cup of coffee and a very helpful staff. Both hard things to find together.

Nice atmosphere affordable prices

Better coffee, better prices than Starbucks... go here!

I stop here about 3 times a week. The owner is ever-present and the staff is friendly and helpful. Their chai lattes are the best I've had and the coffees are an artform. I couldn't be more impressed

The best coffee for taste flavor and effect because I always go for the effect but then flavor kicks in and it's all over you hooked gotta go get this coffee

Very friendly baristas and inviting atmosphere. Great coffee and pastries options. Definitely would come back again.

Born and raised in Hawaii but this is my favorite coffee, simply the best

Nice to go to a coffee shop not named Starbucks. Very cozy. Got me an Oreo blended and then took it into the theater next door.

Nice varied selection of roasts and origins for both beans and brewed. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.

Came into here today for my free coffee and am not impressed we’re am sitting floor is a a mess no one has taking the time to brush the floor tables don’t look like they have been cleaned and my coffee is just about luke warm…

Very calm and peaceful place for tranquil...

Go local! I love La Costa Coffee Roasting. They roast their coffee beans in house, and the ambiance is perfect here! Coffee and pastries are delicious, and the staff is always nice :)

Really neat small coffee shop. Busy around brunch time but the staff is quick to serve orders and take new orders.

Great coffee and great atmosphere. And great smell of roasting coffee. One unique service is that they sell small quantities (down to 2oz) of flavored coffees.

Super cute coffee experience they always have art up on the walls and lots of outdoor seating. They have a very cool coffee roaster out and you can buy ground or whole bean for at home too

The owner is a super nice guy! Knows a hecka lot about coffee! Great atmosphere! Great people!

Best little coffee shop in Carlsbad! Their dark chocolate croissants are delicious.

Our fav coffee shop! We come here weekly to buy our freshly roasted coffee beans, and always grab a latte to go while we’re at it. The owner is super knowledgeable and always helps recommend different types of beans to try. Check it out!

Best coffee in Southern California!!! Great roaster, the house blend is my favorite with the other blends real close behind. Great people too!🤓👍🏼 ☕️

Great little family coffee shop. Local vibes and friendly staff. Coffee is always hot and tasty! Lots of tea options, and great variety of whole or ground beans to-go, too. Awesome outdoor patio space with plenty of seating, as well. Recommend!

This is by far the best coffee shop I have ever been to staff is fantastic area Is clean and outside seating and just a great atmosphere highly recommend going out of your way to try this amazing coffee shop.

Great old school coffee shop. They make good coffee, roast it on site, keep it simple with good hours. I like the Sumatran.

Delicious coffee and nice seating outside

Great coffee. Employees and guests alike follow Covid- protocols which invites me to continue to order coffee from here. They have the best Mexican mocha in La Costa area.

One of the best for me. Recommend for anyone.

Great coffee Great espresso Great vibes Outdoor seating And Friendly employees. All of the above is a recipe for success imo, especially during these times. ... I haven't tried any other drinks besides their normal espresso ones such as the cappuccino and regular espresso shot.. but they are great tasting just by themselves. They have substitute flavors and Milks so you can customize it the way you want as well. Overall HIGHLY recommend

Wow! Great for having coffee and for coffee beans for home...and for learning about coffee. Nicest staff ever and they had a live jazz band! Will definitely be returning and supporting this wonderful establishment.

Their tea selection is enormous. Great service too.

Writing this review after having just left on 2nd December 2020 around 4.10pm. I first walked in to find 2 young boys laughing about something on their phone with their backs turned away from the counter. After a few seconds they noticed me and took my order. I asked for a small terry's chocolate orange hot chocolate. I then gave my points card in and said to pay using the points. He then gave it me back and asked if i was paying cash or card when i had just told him i was using the points?! Clearly he wasn't listening! Next, the other young boy confirmed a terry's chocolate orange hot chocolate and started making it. A young girl came out and all three of them had their backs turned and started to gossip and have a laugh instead of making my drink while i was stood there waiting. Meanwhile a number of other customers came in and were left waiting. I finally got my drink and i headed back to work - none of the other customers had been served when i left. I took a sip of my drink only to realise they had given me the after eight hot chocolate! Not only did i receive horrible customer service, i also wasted my points on a drink i did not want/ask for and that i couldn't drink because i do not like mint! Absolutely shocking service! I have been a loyal costa customer for many years but this has made me reconsider going to starbucks instead. It only takes one horrible experience to put someone off. Really ruined my experience after usually receiving such warm and personal service.
