Costa Coffee

For a relaxed coffee stop after a walk through the pinewoods or a morning on the beach, Costa Coffee ticks all the right boxes.

Rated 4.0/5 across 337 Google reviews, it's one of the more consistently well-reviewed cafes in the Formby area.

Counter-service coffee chain offering hot drinks, iced coolers, sweet snacks and sandwiches. After a morning at the National Trust reserve, that's a difficult combination to resist.

Formby has no shortage of cafes, but Costa Coffee stands out for its commitment to doing things well. Good coffee, proper food, and staff who seem to genuinely enjoy what they do.

Costa Coffee is the kind of cafe that makes Altcar feel like a neighbourhood worth knowing. Easy to recommend.
