Carrot & Walnut Cake sits 55th of 98 on price in Costa Coffee’s Our menu section, at £4.70 and 497 kcal. Updated 12 September 2026.
Carrot and walnut cake topped and filled with layers of soft cream cheese butter icing and decorated with walnut nibs.
The £4.70 figure came from a third party listing rather than from Costa Coffee, which means it may reflect a delivery menu. Delivery prices sit above in restaurant prices before any fee is added, so treat this as the ceiling rather than the till price.

Everything You Need to Know About Costa Coffee Carrot & Walnut Cake
How to order Carrot & Walnut Cake at Costa Coffee
Counter, kiosk and app all carry it. The Costa Coffee app adds collection and delivery. It is filed under Our menu. Not every branch stocks it, and the app is honest about that before you pay.
Costa Coffee Carrot & Walnut Cake price in 2026
The Costa Coffee Carrot & Walnut Cake price in 2026 is £4.70 on the figures we hold. The figure came from a third party listing rather than from Costa Coffee, so read it as a ceiling. Within the Our menu section that puts it 55th of 98 on price. Expect more at airport, motorway and station branches than on a high street, and more again through a delivery app.
Where it sits on price
54 items cost less than this one in the Our menu section and 43 cost more, out of 98 we hold a price for. The closest thing to it on price is Prawn Mayo Sandwich at £4.70, so those two are the real comparison when you are deciding.
Allergens declared
Costa Coffee declares 4 of the 14 allergens UK law requires to be listed for this item: cereals containing gluten, eggs, milk and tree nuts. It also lists soya as a possible trace, meaning Costa Coffee cannot rule that out. A declaration covers the recipe and not the kitchen, and every one of these chains prepares food in shared fryers and on shared surfaces. For a severe allergy the only reliable check is asking staff on the day.
Protein for the calories
It gives 1.3g of protein per 100 kcal, against a menu average of 3.4g across everything we hold for Costa Coffee. That is a weak ratio for this menu, which matters more than the raw protein figure when you are comparing two items of different sizes. On raw protein it ranks 71st of 132 in its section.
Diet marking
Costa Coffee marks this as vegetarian. That is the chain's own classification of the recipe rather than a statement about how it is cooked, and vegan marking in particular sits alongside shared equipment at most of these brands.
Pro Tips for Ordering Carrot & Walnut Cake
Sharing it is the realistic option
Dessert figures are for one portion as served, and most of these are built for one person to finish. One split across a table makes the numbers work without giving it up.
Sugar in plain terms
40g of sugar works out at roughly 10 teaspoons. The adult reference intake is 90g a day and the NHS free sugars guideline is tighter at 30g, so one of these covers a real portion of either figure.
What 497 kcal means here
497 kcal is well above the Our menu average. That is a full meal's worth on its own, before anything else goes on the tray. The 2,000 kcal figure printed on UK menus is a reference intake for an average adult, not a target, and it is the number these percentages are worked against.
