Costa Coffee have brought back a fan favourite drink, which can be enjoyed hot or cold, plus a number of new food treats are joining the menu from this week
Every now and then it is nice to treat yourself to lunch out or a speciality coffee – and this week coffee fans can get their hands on one of their favourite treats as Costa Coffee is bringing back a viral drink from last summer that people could not get enough of. Plus, there are a number of new treats joining the menu said to be perfect for grabbing on the go. The updated menu will hit chains around the UK from Thursday (July 3).
“Whether you’re soaking up the sunshine or simply taking a well-earned break, there’s something delicious waiting for you in-store this season,” a spokesperson for Costa said.
The fan-favourite Spanish Latte is making a comeback following its popularity last year. Inspired by global coffee trends and loved by customers across the UK, the drink combines espresso with steamed milk and a condensed milk-flavoured sauce, topped with a dusting of cappuccino. It can be enjoyed hot or cold and is said to boasts a “dreamy” flavour.
Previously trying the drink, one reviewer took to TikTok and said: “Oh my God, it is just elite.” While another said: “It was so nice, sweet at first, but I would definitely get it again.”
A third chimed in: “Can confirm it’s very nice.”

Fellow TikToker @theflavourdiary also noted: “The condensed milk gives it a nice sweetness without it being too sweet at the same time.”
Plus, coffee fans can also enjoy a new and improved “silkier” recipe for the latte range. Available in two delicious flavours, classic and caramel.
Also joining the menu are a new range of Barista Bites. Costa states that they are thoughtfully crafted for life on-the-go, summer strolls, or laid-back afternoons in the park, these bite-sized snacks bring flavour to any moment.
You can enjoy Cheese Barista Bites – golden, crumb-coated bites of melted cheese, served with a tangy tomato chutney for a satisfying, savoury snack – or High Protein Chicken Barista Bites. The chicken bites are breaded and served with a smoky chipotle BBQ dip, delivering big flavour and a protein boost.
Plus, a new dessert has launched – a Tiramisu Cookie Sandwich. It is a rich dark chocolate cookie sandwich filled with a tiramisu-inspired, creamy coffee frosting, finished with icing and cocoa powder. It’s the ultimate treat for dessert lovers.
Speaking about the menu shake up, Nishant Bhatia, Global Food and Beverage Innovation Director for Costa Coffee, said: “At Costa Coffee, we believe Summer should taste as good as it feels, and this year, we’ve taken inspiration from around the world to bring those holiday flavours a little closer to home.
“From the smooth sweetness of the Spanish Latte to the Tiramisu Cookie Sandwich inspired by the classic Italian dessert, it’s all about helping our customers taste a little bit of Summer, one sip or bite at a time.”
She added: “And for those in the mood to snack, our Barista Bites are a fun new food format for Costa Coffee – perfect for enjoying in-store or grabbing on-the-go as you make the most of those sunny days.”
These new additions to Costa Coffee’s summer menu are available in-stores nationwide from Thursday July 3.
