Costa Chocolate & Pistachio Cookie Sandwich (UK Price, Calories & Allergens 2026)
The Costa Chocolate & Pistachio Cookie Sandwich is £3.50 in the UK for 2026, with 337kcal in a 73g portion. It sits firmly in sweet bakery territory: more dessert-style treat than everyday snack.
The main pull is the contrast between chocolate cookie and pistachio frosting, with soft cheese in the frosting adding a richer dairy note. If a drink alone doesn’t feel enough, this is the kind of counter food that turns the order into something more substantial, especially with a tea.
It’s suitable for vegetarians, but it isn’t vegan. The allergen list is also important here because it contains wheat, egg, milk, soya and tree nuts from pistachio.

- Calories: 337kcal per portion

How the £3.50 portion feels as a Costa food order
At 73g, the Chocolate & Pistachio Cookie Sandwich isn’t positioned like lunch or a hot meal. It’s more of a premium bakery pick: small enough to be a snack, but calorie-dense enough to feel more significant than a light bite.
The 337kcal figure matters because this is a sweet food order with a lot of its energy coming from sugar and fat. That doesn’t make it a poor choice automatically, but it does make it more of a deliberate treat than something you’d pick for a lighter grab-and-go moment.
What gives it the chocolate and pistachio direction
The flavour is led by the chocolate cookie element and the pistachio frosting. The cookie includes dark chocolate and fat-reduced cocoa powder, so the chocolate side is built into the main part of the sandwich rather than just a topping.
The pistachio comes through the frosting, which includes pistachio paste, plus pistachio nuts listed separately. The frosting also contains full fat soft cheese and milk ingredients, so the pistachio side is paired with a creamy dairy base rather than being a plain nut filling.
There’s also a drizzle, but the biggest taste-impact ingredients are the chocolate, cocoa, pistachio paste, pistachio nuts and soft cheese in the frosting.
Chocolate & Pistachio Cookie Sandwich nutrition in plain terms
Per portion, you’re looking at 337kcal, 39g carbohydrates, 31g sugars, 18g fat and 9.3g saturates. Those numbers fit the dessert-style angle: sweet, rich and fairly energy-dense for the portion size.
Protein is 4.4g and fibre is 1.1g, so it’s not especially protein-led or fibre-led. Salt is low at 0.15g per portion, which is useful to know, but the bigger nutrition watch-outs are the sugars, fat and saturates.
If you’re choosing it as an occasional sweet bakery order, the numbers make sense. If you’re after something more filling for lunch, the low protein and small portion weight mean it may not carry the meal on its own.
Allergens and dietary suitability to check
The Chocolate & Pistachio Cookie Sandwich allergens are a key part of the decision. It contains wheat, egg, milk, soya and tree nuts. The tree nut source is pistachio.
It’s suitable for vegetarians. It’s not suitable for vegans because the ingredients include egg, milk, butter and soft cheese.
If allergies or intolerances matter for you, check the current Costa allergen information before ordering rather than relying on the name alone.
Who it suits, and who may want to skip it
Order it if you want a richer sweet bakery choice with chocolate and pistachio as the main flavour direction. It’s a better fit for an afternoon sweet treat, dessert-style counter order or a small add-on than for breakfast or a proper lunch.
Skip it if you’re looking for a lighter snack, a higher-protein food order, or something lower in sugar. It also won’t work for anyone avoiding wheat, egg, milk, soya or pistachio.
The practical order verdict
The Costa Chocolate & Pistachio Cookie Sandwich makes most sense when you’re choosing on indulgence rather than fuel. For £3.50, you get a 73g dessert-style cookie sandwich with 337kcal, chocolate in the cookie and pistachio running through the frosting. The 31g sugars, 18g fat and 9.3g saturates mean it’s not a light bakery pick, and the 4.4g protein means it isn’t especially filling in a lunch sense. If you want a sweet, richer counter treat and the allergens work for you, it’s a clear fit. If you need a more practical meal, look elsewhere on the Costa food menu.
