The beloved coffee giant is a staple on British highstreets and can also be found in its express format in some supermarkets.
And with 2,000 sites nationwide, most households live within close proximity of a Costa Coffee cafe.
However, that could soon change as part of a wave of closures planned by the company which has already seen several stores close.
So far this year it has closed eight sites in total, with the most recent one boarded up for good on September 22.
The closures are far from over with a ninth coffee shop scheduled to close in November.

Coffee lovers in Malvern, Worcestershire, will lose one of its two Costa branches on Friday, November 17.
The Church Street site will cease trading for good and hand over its customer base to the sister cafe in the nearby retail park.
A spokesperson for the coffee giant said: “The Costa Coffee store on Church Street in Malvern will close for trade on November 17, 2023.
“Customers can continue to enjoy their favourite Costa coffees in Malvern on Roman Way.”

Fans of the high street chain have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the Costa closures, which have joined other major brands in reducing their site portfolios.
One person wrote on Twitter: “Tories have crashed the economy. McDonald’s, Greggs, Costa Coffee, pubs, and restaurants are closing and those still open are very, very quiet.”
Another opined: “So many costas are closing though sucks but makes sense it’s very expensive.”
The loss of the Malvern store follows eight other cafes in locking their doors for good.
Costa branches that have already closed this year include:
- Coliseum retail park in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire – June 3
- Welch Way, Witney – June 5
- Wigan town centre – June 25
- Five Rise shopping centre, Bingley – July 9
- High Street, Worcester – July (relocated September 15)
- Lowestoft’s North Quay retail park – July 23 (refurbishment)
- Church Street, Oakham – September 15
