Whether you’re taking a break from retail therapy or looking for the perfect afternoon treat with friends, we’ve got some delicious news for shoppers at Prince Bishops Place: scones have officially returned to Costa Coffee!
After five long years away from the menu, this Great British teatime classic is back in action. But as any scone lover knows, with the return of cream teas comes the inevitable return of the country’s most passionate food debate…
Jam First or Cream First?
It’s an age-old battle that splits households, breaks shopping pairs, and causes lively debates across tea tables. Some people are so loyal to their method that they silently judge anyone doing it the “wrong” way!
To help bring peace to coffee lovers everywhere, Costa Coffee has come up with a playful compromise: a special dual-swirl approach designed to celebrate both sides of the debate simultaneously. The first of its kind was served up to the Mayors of Saltash and Kingsbridge at Costa’s Saltash store. Sat on the border of Devon and Cornwall, the store marks the symbolic home of Britain’s famous cream tea rivalry.
So whether you’re a devout jam-firster or a cream-first purist, everyone can call a truce and enjoy their treat together.
Treat Yourself to an Afternoon Tea Treat
Pair a delicious scone, complete with jam and clotted cream, with your favorite regular hot coffee, comforting tea, or refreshing iced drink. It’s the ultimate value treat for a mid-shopping pick-me-up!
Ready to take a side (or test out the compromise)? Pop into Costa Coffee at Prince Bishops Place, Durham during your next visit. Grab a window seat, order your delicious fruit scone, and settle the scone debate once and for all!
