As the calendar marks a special occasion with the rare appearance of February 29th, Costa Coffee is gearing up to celebrate this Leap Year in style with a brand-new menu. The Nation’s Favourite Coffee Shop* is leaping into Spring with new fresh, tasty products joining and returning to stores nationwide this Thursday (29th February 2024). As we head into a new season, which delicious item will be your Spring go-to?
Indulgent drinks range made with KITKAT® returns with a Frappé twist
Costa Coffee is thrilled to announce the triumphant return of the scrumptious drinks range made with KITKAT®. Costa Club members have an amazing advantage, with access to the drinks two weeks before anyone else:
· Introducing the latest sensation, the irresistible new KITKAT® Frappé, a creamy blended chocolate Frappé, topped with Light Whip and delicious KITKAT® pieces.
· Welcome back the beloved KITKAT® Mocha and the KITKAT® Hot Chocolate. Both drinks are topped with Light Whip and are sprinkled with crunchy KITKAT® pieces.
· All drinks from the KITKAT® range are finished with a yummy wrapped KITKAT® Bunny Mini on the side (when served in-store and takeaway), perfect to enjoy later or share with a friend.
Signature coffee – Costa-mised
Get ready to tantalise your taste buds as Costa Coffee unveils the latest syrup for customers to personalise (or Costa-mise) their hot or cold coffee with – the new Cinnamon Bun Syrup. This syrup is set to elevate the coffee experience with the sweet flavours reminiscent of a freshly baked Cinnamon Bun. Available at Costa Coffee stores nationwide, as well as Costa Express machines, bring the warmth of a Cinnamon Bun into your cup – wherever you are! Other ways to make your Costa coffee your own is by choosing from a variety of tasty toppings, Light Whip (suitable for vegans), delicious syrups, and sauces.
What’s more, the Nation’s Favourite Coffee Shop is known for its core coffee offerings, from an Iced Latte to a creamy Cappuccino. But did you know that Costa Coffee paved the way for the Flat White fourteen years ago, becoming the first High Street coffee shop chain to introduce the drink in the UK?
The velvet, luxurious Flat White is a combination of rich espresso and velvet steamed milk, handcrafted in store, and finished with a beautiful Florette. Or for something cold, Costa Coffee’s Iced Flat White is served over ice, and topped with a unique layer of cold foam – which is like sipping on clouds with its deliciously thick and marshmallow-like texture. And why not show your love for your favourite Costa coffee and pair your Flat White with a brand new Flat White Keyring, costing £4.50.
Exciting savoury additions
Prepare your taste buds for a flavoursome treat with our new savoury lineup:
· Say hello to the new Halloumi and Chargrilled Veg Toastie, bursting with tasty halloumi and chargrilled vegetables, chilli relish and fresh spinach, all packed on multi-seed bread.
· For your spring protein, why not try the new Chicken N’Duja Toastie, paired alongside an Iced Americano. Featuring roast chicken and ‘Nduja, with roasted peppers, béchamel and tomato & oregano sauce. Finished with mozzarella and mature cheddar, on multi-seed bread.

On-the-go delights and home enjoyment
