Costa Hazelnut Creme Iced Whipped Latte (UK Price & Calories 2026)
At 181 kcal for a Medium, the Hazelnut Creme Iced Whipped Latte sits firmly in sweet iced coffee territory rather than a plain cold coffee order. I had this in mind near an airport departure area with family during a casual weekend stop, when we wanted something sweeter and the order came quickly enough to make it an easy pick.
The main decision is simple: Small keeps the sugar and calories lower, but Medium gives you 85 ml more for just £0.25 extra. So if you’re choosing on value alone, Medium is the stronger buy. If you’re choosing because you only want a smaller sweet drink, Small makes more sense.

Price, portion and value
The Hazelnut Creme Iced Whipped Latte comes in 2 sizes in the provided UK pricing: Small at £4.95 and Medium at £5.20.
| Size | Price | Portion | Calories |
| Small | £4.95 | 230 ml | 144 kcal |
| Medium | £5.20 | 315 ml | 181 kcal |
The price gap is only £0.25, while the Medium gives you 85 ml more. That’s the key reason I’d call Medium the better value if you know you want the full sweet iced latte experience. The trade-off is also clear: Medium adds 37 kcal and 5 g sugar compared with Small.
Best size for most people
For most people, I’d choose Medium. The extra 85 ml for £0.25 is hard to ignore, especially because this is the kind of drink you’re likely ordering for its sweeter, creamier style rather than as a quick sip of coffee.
Small is still the better choice if you want to keep the order tighter. It has 144 kcal and 17 g sugar, so it cuts 37 kcal and 5 g sugar compared with Medium. That’s the cleaner pick if you’re only after a smaller cold drink and don’t want the bigger portion.
My practical recommendation: order Small if this is alongside food or you only want a quick sweet drink. Order Medium if the drink itself is the main thing you’re buying, because the price difference is small.
Hazelnut Creme Iced Whipped Latte calories and nutrition
Hazelnut Creme Iced Whipped Latte has 144 kcal in Small and 181 kcal in Medium.
The sugar is the number to check after calories. Small has 17 g sugar, while Medium has 22 g sugar. For context, 181 kcal is just over the calorie count of a can of Coke at around 139 kcal, so this is not the lightest iced coffee choice on the board.
Fat stays fairly modest in the default configuration: 2.8 g in Small and 3.6 g in Medium. Protein is 6.2 g in Small and 7.6 g in Medium, while salt is 0.24 g in Small and 0.3 g in Medium.
| Size | Portion (ml) | Energy (kcal) | Energy (kJ) | Sugar (g) | Fat (g) | Saturates (g) | Carbs (g) | Protein (g) | Salt (g) |
| Small | 230 | 144 | 606 | 17 | 2.8 | 1.4 | 24 | 6.2 | 0.24 |
| Medium | 315 | 181 | 763 | 22 | 3.6 | 1.8 | 30 | 7.6 | 0.3 |

Customising it without guessing
The default configuration used for the main nutrition here is a Medium with semi-skimmed milk, served takeaway. The milk swaps are all listed at +£0.00, and each one changes the default-size nutrition rather than just the price.
Oat milk
Oat costs +£0.00. Compared with the default Medium, it adds 13 kcal and 53 kJ, reduces sugar by 2 g, adds 1.3 g fat, reduces saturates by 0.8 g, adds 2 g carbs, reduces protein by 2.7 g, and adds 0.02 g salt.
Coconut milk
Coconut costs +£0.00. Compared with the default Medium, it reduces calories by 14 kcal and energy by 59 kJ, reduces sugar by 2 g, reduces fat by 0.3 g, reduces saturates by 0.4 g, reduces carbs by 1 g, reduces protein by 2 g, and reduces salt by 0.01 g.
Soya milk
Soya costs +£0.00. Compared with the default Medium, it reduces calories by 4 kcal and energy by 18 kJ, reduces sugar by 3 g, adds 0.2 g fat, reduces saturates by 0.8 g, reduces carbs by 2 g, reduces protein by 0.2 g, and reduces salt by 0.01 g.
If your main aim is the lowest-calorie Medium from the listed milk swaps, coconut is the strongest option because it takes the default Medium from 181 kcal to 167 kcal. If sugar is your main check, soya gives the biggest listed sugar reduction, taking 3 g off the default Medium.
Allergens to check
The allergen information provided lists the same allergens for both sizes:
- Small: Milk contains; Soya contains.
- Medium: Milk contains; Soya contains.
Allergen information can change — always check in-store before ordering if you have a food allergy.
Would I buy it again?
Yes, but I’d treat it as a sweet iced drink order rather than a plain coffee. The hazelnut creme style and whipped latte format make the Small vs Medium choice more about how much sweetness you want than whether the drink is filling.
I’d buy the Medium if I wanted this as my main drink, because £5.20 for 315 ml looks better than £4.95 for 230 ml. I’d switch to Small if I were pairing it with food or wanted to keep sugar closer to 17 g rather than 22 g.
For customising, coconut is the one I’d look at first if I wanted to reduce calories, because the listed change is -14 kcal from the default Medium. If I wanted to reduce sugar more, I’d look at soya because it reduces sugar by 3 g from the default Medium.
