Costa Coffee at the main station

Costa Coffee is the second largest coffee house chain in the world. Only Starbucks is bigger. So it was only a matter of time before they conquered the train station in Karlsruhe.

When Starbucks gave up, it was initially unclear who could make it if Starbucks didn't succeed. The fact that a similar concept was tried in the end is still somewhat surprising. Commuters mourning the loss of the old store will at least not have to change much. The furnishings are similar and the range is the same. But everything looks a little more upmarket.

The opening hours range from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., catering to both morning commuters and those who need a coffee later on.

Breakfast at Costa Coffee

The fact that it mainly serves specialty coffees (and other hot drinks) and muffins & co. means that the coffee shop is naturally predestined for breakfast. Of course, you miss the classic breakfast here, but you don't expect it either. The concept is similar to Starbucks.

How to get to Costa Coffee

It should be easy to find the main train station in Karlsruhe. Costa Coffee is a little more hidden. Starbucks had a similar problem before. Costa Coffee has its own entrance from the outside, which is offset from the main entrance in the direction of Poststraße and is sometimes not used so often. From the inside, you have to pass through the entire station food area.

"I got an Iced Latte Caramel flavored. It was alright tasting. However, the paper straws provided are absolutely terrible quality. The straw was falling apart before I even started drinking, just in the time to walk to my train platform. Really impacted the experience of my drink when my straw kept bending around, feeling like it might break apart any second. This isnt a paper straw issue; Ive had plenty of ok paper straws. Its a cheap quality issue, to the point of disturbing my ability to enjoy my drink while waiting for my train."

"Impressed with this relaxing and coffee shop within the train station. Ordered two iced coffees and they were good. The black iced coffee was a little burnt but was still a good cup of coffee. The ice was good and didn’t melt before the drink was done and the fact that they use REAL GLASSWARE, is so nice. Additionally, they had a significant selection of vegan items which was great to see. Especially on an extensive travel day. Cons- The couches and chairs look nice, but are pretty uncomfortable, probably to deter people hanging around for too long. There aren’t any gluten free & vegan options that I could see. And charging 1€ for a dairy alternative felt annoying. However overall, it was a nice change from a Starbucks."

"I had a terrible experience here. I came in to order a caramel milkshake, and what I got was just milk with a tiny splash of caramel — absolutely no creaminess, no shake texture, and no flavor. It was honestly insulting to call that a milkshake. Even worse, the woman at the counter was extremely rude for no reason. We didn’t even speak loudly or say anything wrong, yet she raised her voice, acted irritated, and seemed to be aggressively tapping and moving things around like we were bothering her just by existing. She also snapped that they didn’t have cream, with a very unpleasant attitude. This is not how you treat customers, especially when you’re serving subpar products. Avoid this place — bad service, bad attitude, and what I received was not a milkshake."

"Most comfy place in the station to wait for your train, your friends or charge your electronic devices. I always pick flat white, I prefer the flat white in Costa to the ones In Starbucks donno why. Seasonal drinks are also cool but sometimes they could be a bit too sweet. 🥐is good choice if you crave for something sweet but not so hungry. Sandwiches are okayish. Atmosphere is good here, not crowded not noisy and with good music."

"Capuccino not worth the 5€ - Terrible taste of burned coffee and poor presentation. Might as well take a cheaper one elsewhere.."
