With summer ending so suddenly (it always feels like it), the biggest relief is the myriad of limited-edition products from your favorite grocery chains. Those who have picked up a cup of coffee from Costa will rejoice because the new autumn menu has been announced and it's like a hug from the heart.
Serving up sugar, spice and all things good, one of the UK's favorite coffee chains is keen to see us through the colder months in style.
Following the success of its fall 2019 menu, Costa is focusing on bold, spicy flavours. Their famous ginger bread latte is back. It's a classic combination of creamy milk, their signature coffee blend, gingerbread syrup, and comes with a super cute mini gingerbread man on top. If you're feeling extra fancy, you can add a swirl of whipped cream on top. (Don’t worry plant-based people, I hear you, you can get non-dairy options like coconut, almond, or oats.)
If you don't like that much milk in your coffee but want a little spice, they also have a cinnamon spice cappuccino. This time it was their classic cappuccino, blended with aromatic winter spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, star anise) throughout and on top.
Any child of the 1980s knows the true charm of Black Forest Cake, and you can start your own delicious journey with a limited-edition Black Forest Hot Chocolate. It's a super rich and creamy hot chocolate with tons of cream, delicious cherry jam and chocolate curls sprinkled on top.
However, the crowd favorite this year, in my opinion, is definitely the Irish Velvet Cream Latte, which is flavored with Irish cream (sadly non-alcoholic) and topped with a swirl of cream.
Costa's fall collection is available from today (October 1) and will run throughout the autumn.
