In the Edinburgh, drivers queued around the car-park as they waited to be served by baristas wearing gloves and masks.
Coffee fans headed to pick up at Edinburgh Sharpdale and Edinburgh South Bridge.
Strict guidance mean customers are barred from entering the newly reopened stores so all orders are to go.
The company said all its staff have been given guidance on social-distancing and have been kitted out with all the necessary clothing including face-masks.
To maintain hygiene levels Costa workers will also be expected to clean their hands and any surfaces at least once every half an hour.
Customers at the stores will only be able to use contactless payments.
