Toastie galore

The way to someone’s heart is through a toastie, or so that’s what Costa Coffee has heard – as two new appetising toasties are added to the menu:

• Enjoy the taste of Autumn – toasted, with the brand-new Hog Roast Toastie. Tuck into melt-in-the-mouth hickory pulled pork with spiced apple glaze and savour the sweetness of caramelised onion chutney. The delicious toastie is finished with sage and garlic stuffing and melted oak-smoked cheddar, topped with a cheesy garlic and herb bloomer bread that’s toasted to perfection.
• To beat the Autumn chill, why not go for the new Nacho Chilli Cheese and Chicken Toastie. Featuring juicy British roast chicken, fiery Mexicana® cheese, spicy jalapeños, drizzled with gooey cheese sauce and served on cheese and tortilla chip topped bloomer bread – because there’s no such thing as too much cheese
• With a menu of over seven classic toastie options, from The Chicken and Bacon Toastie to Vegan Ham and Cheese Toastie, there is plenty of choice for everybody to upgrade their lunch and enjoy this Autumn.

Exciting new sweet additions 

As the leaves begin to fall and the weather gets cooler, a sweet pick me-up is the perfect treat, and Costa Coffee has many joining and returning this Fall:

• Why not pair one of the new drinks from the Maple Hazel range with the return of the Maple Hazelnut Muffin, filled with maple sauce and topped with icing and a cocoa confectionery decoration in the shape of a leaf – very on season!
• If you’re more of a chocolate fan, the Maple Hazelnut Blondie is for you. With a blondie base, it has a mouth-watering maple flavour, with nutty hazelnuts. Finished with a topping made from white chocolate, maple syrup and yummy edible decorations, you can’t beat this sweet treat.
• To make the most of the Autumn season’s ripe fruits, treat yourself to an exciting addition to the menu, the new Apple and Blackberry Loaf Cake. The moist and fluffy cake is loaded with juicy apples and blackberries, sprinkled with a crunchy crumble, and finished with a drizzle of pretty pink fondant.
• Or if you have more of a sweet tooth, why not try a slice of the Chocolate and Salted Caramel Cake, a layered chocolate sponge, filled with salted caramel and chocolate frostings, topped with dark chocolate curls, fudge pieces, and drizzled with extra caramel.
• Other new additions include the new Loaded Flapjack, a golden, buttery flapjack loaded with cranberries, sultanas, almonds, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, finished with a sweet yoghurt drizzle. And perfect for trick or treaters, try the new Iced Pumpkin Gingerbread Biscuit, a delicious gingerbread biscuit decorated with coloured fondant icing.
