Designed to turn everyday routines into feel-good rituals, the vibrant new lineup spans bold iced coffees, refreshing fruit blends and fresh lunchtime bites.

Sweet Treats 

Costa’s Sweet Ube range is expanding with a new Iced Whipped Latte and an Iced Matcha.

Yes, you did read that right. Matcha and Sweet Ube together!

These instant icons are best paired with the all-new Morello Cherry & Vanilla Cake. This treat combines a light vanilla sponge with layers of Morello cherry jam and vanilla frosting, finished with cherries on top for a creamy and fruity delight.

Smooth Indulgences 

Nothing says smooth indulgence quite like an Iced Oat Velvetino. This modern twist on a classic iced coffee offers a velvety texture, Costa’s signature Mocha Italia taste, and agave-flavoured syrup for a touch of sweetness.

Joining the new summer lineup is an exclusive Jaffa Cake Frappé, a limited-edition iced coffee with smooth chocolate and zesty orange flavours. This is one pick-me-up drink that you won’t want to miss.

Refreshing Quencher  

For those summer days when the sun shines hot in Durham, you can quench your thirst in Prince Bishops Place with one of Costa Coffee’s new chilled drinks: the Apple & Kiwi Refresher or the Jasmine & Hibiscus Iced Tea. Both are incredibly refreshing options for a warm afternoon.

Feeling peckish as well? The new Chicken Gyros Style Flatbread is the high-protein lunchtime option of choice. It features tender chicken, roasted onions and peppers, and a garlic-mint yoghurt sauce, all wrapped in a soft oregano flatbread.

Don’t let summer pass you by. Sip the season with bold new flavours at Costa Coffee.
