Costa Coffee’s 2024 summer menu has sparked mixed reactions, with some customers expressing disappointment over the limited vegan options. The menu includes a gingernut loaf cake and a falafel and hummus wrap, which have been met with criticism for being uninspired and unoriginal.
Many customers took to social media to share their thoughts, calling the menu items “boring” and “lazy.” Some expressed a desire for more creative and authentic vegan options, while others suggested that Costa Coffee could have explored different cuisines for inspiration.
However, not all feedback was negative. Some customers welcomed the inclusion of non-meat vegan options, while others praised the menu’s Middle Eastern influences. The menu includes two new flatbreads, the Chicken Shawarma Flatbread and the Tandoori Spiced Bhaji Flatbread. It also features a variety of sweet treats, such as the Triple Chocolate Brownie Cheesecake and the Mango and Passionfruit Bircher.
Costa Coffee has not yet responded to the criticism, but it remains to be seen whether the summer menu will be a success. With the increasing popularity of vegan diets, it is likely that customers will continue to demand more creative and diverse vegan options from coffee chains and restaurants alike.
