Costa CoffeeCosta Coffee, the Nation’s Favourite Coffee Shop, unveils eight new drinks as part of its flavour-packed Summer menu, landing in stores nationwide from tomorrow (Thursday 30th April 2026). Designed to turn everyday routines into feel-good rituals, the vibrant new lineup spans bold iced coffees, refreshing fruit blends, fresh lunchtime bites and stylish seasonal merchandise.

Sip the season with bold new flavours

From creamy iced coffees to cooling refreshers, Costa Coffee’s new drinks range delivers something for every Summer mood:

For core coffee lovers, the new Iced Oat Velvetino offers a smooth, modern twist on a classic iced coffee. Crafted with Costa Coffee’s signature Mocha Italia taste, it combines a velvety texture with agave flavoured syrup for a touch of sweetness.

Joining the line-up is the new Hazelnut Crème range, featuring an Iced Whipped Latte and a Frappé. Showcasing rich, nutty flavours and creamy textures, both drinks are finished with a decadent hazelnut crème sauce for an indulgent treat. Fans on-the-go can also enjoy the Hazelnut Crème Latte and Iced Latte nationwide via Costa Express machines.

Costa Coffee is expanding its Sweet Ube range with two vibrant additions: An Iced Whipped Latte and an Iced Matcha. Featuring ube’s signature purple hue, both drinks combine creamy, vanilla-like sweetness with a subtle nutty taste, made for spontaneous Summer adventures.

Other new drinks include the Cherry Vanilla Iced Whipped Latte, a fruity Apple & Kiwi Refresher, and the floral Jasmine Hibiscus Iced Tea.

For those in need of a pick-me-up, the NEW Ready-to-Drink Costa Coffee McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes Frappé has launched – a limited-edition iced coffee with smooth chocolate and zesty orange flavours, inspired by the iconic McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes.

Returning favourites such as Strawberry, Watermelon and Mint Refresher, Dragon Fruit and Guava Refresher, Pink Lemonade and classic Lemonade, ensure beloved rituals remain part of the Summer menu.

Flavour-packed bites for every Summer moment

Alongside the drink’s lineup, Costa Coffee is expanding its food range with fresh, flavour packed options made-for for easy Summer lunches.

The new Chicken Gyros Style Flatbread features tender gyros-style chicken, roasted onions and peppers, and a garlic-mint yoghurt sauce, all wrapped in a soft oregano flatbread for a satisfying, high-protein lunchtime option.

Also joining the menu is the new Chicken Fajita Wrap, packed with roasted chicken, spiced tomato sauce, roasted vegetables, and mozzarella. Two new meal boxes are also launching in selected stores: Meatball Marinara Pasta and Chicken & Spicy Korean Style Rice, perfect for a quick, hearty Summer lunch.

Families are catered for with a new kid’s meal deal, which is available in selected stores nationwide. This deal includes a cheese triangle sandwich, a pot of apple slices, an innocent Kids Juicy Water (Apples and Strawberries) or innocent Kids Smoothie (Strawberries, Blackberries and Raspberries, and an activity pack. What’s more, 30p from each purchase is donated to the Costa Foundation to support children and young people by funding education projects in coffee growing communities worldwide.

Summer treats

No Summer menu is complete without indulgent treats. New for the season, the Morello Cherry & Vanilla Cake combines light vanilla sponge with layers of Morello cherry jam and vanilla frosting, finished with freeze-dried cherries for a fruity and creamy delight – made for a moment of pause.

Returning favourites include the Chocolate & Pistachio Cookie Sandwich, Triple Chocolate Muffin, Fruited Teacake, and the Bubble Frappé Gingerbread Biscuit.

“Summer isn’t just a change in weather, it’s a shift in mood, pace, and behaviour,” said Nishant Bhatia, global food & beverage director at Costa Coffee. “This Summer menu invites customers to explore new flavours and experiences, made for enjoying everything from a quiet afternoon treat or sharing moments with friends. From velvety iced lattes to vibrant matcha options, we’re turning summer sipping into a feel-good ritual. And with fresh, flavour-packed food options alongside our sweet treats, there’s something to delight every taste and occasion.”

Seasonal style

Rounding off the new Summer range, Costa Coffee introduces stylish merchandise designed to make every sip more enjoyable. Customers can enjoy their favourite handcrafted drinks in two new 40oz tumblers, complete with a straw and carry handle, available in “Mango” (a vibrant orange colour) and “Dragon Fruit” (a hot pink alternative). Also launching is the brand new ‘Made With Heart’ Tote Bag, perfect for everyday use or summer outings, made for wherever Summer takes you.

With something for every moment, Costa Coffee’s Summer menu is crafted to delight, refresh, and inspire. Available nationwide from Thursday 30th April 2026, it’s the perfect way to celebrate the season. Find your nearest store here: Costa Store Locator.
