Costa Coffee has unveiled its latest UK seasonal menu, executing a dual strategy of category innovation and dietary inclusivity. The launch is headlined by the chain's first-ever range of "hot milkshakes" and a significant expansion of its plant-based food portfolio, developed in partnership with vegan food brand Bosh!.
The menu update underscores Costa’s continued focus on capturing a broader share of the UK’s competitive food-to-go market by catering to both indulgent and flexitarian consumer preferences.
Beverage Innovation: Hot Milkshakes
Marking a category first for the coffee chain, the new hot milkshake line is positioned as a premium indulgence. Each beverage is finished with a light whip and texture-rich toppings such as sprinkles, caramel vermicelli, or chocolate brownie crumbs.
The New Range:
🍓🍫 White Chocolate & Strawberry
🧂☕ Salted Caramel Coffee
🍫🌰 Chocolate Hazel
Expanded Food Proposition
A key driver of this menu refresh is the collaboration with Bosh!, aimed at meeting the rising demand for high-quality vegan options. However, the chain has also bolstered its traditional meat offerings and bakery selection.
Plant-Based Savoury (with Bosh!):
🌯 Saucy Chicken Fajita Wrap
🥪 Smokin’ BBQ Chicken Panini
🧀 Crackin’ Ham & Cheeze Toastie
🌭 Smashin’ Sausage Bap
New Meat & Breakfast:
🐖🍎 Pork & Apple Sausage Roll
🥣 Raisin & Almond Granola Pot
Sweet Treats & Bakery:
🍪 Caramelised Biscuit Rocky Road (Vegan)
🍫 Double Chocolate Cookie (Vegan)
🍌 Banana Loaf Cake (with banana purée and sugar glaze)
🍊🍰 Orange & Raspberry Victoria Sponge
In addition to new lines, the chain has updated its Lemon Drizzle Loaf Cake recipe and brought back customer favourites, including the Hog Roast Toastie, Heinz Beanz & Cheese Toastie, and the Chocolate & Pecan Slice.
Costa’s latest product development underscores its continued focus on menu innovation, with an emphasis on premium, indulgent, and plant-forward options designed to cater to a broadening consumer base in the UK’s competitive coffee and food-to-go market.
