A Maple & Hazelnut Muffin, Gingerbread Cat, and Mexicana toastie are among the new menu items unveiled by Costa Coffee as part of its autumn menu.

The products, which roll out across stores from 1 September, are joined on shelf by items from Marks & Spencer as part of its collaboration with the coffee shop.

We take a closer look at the new range below:

The standout seasonal savoury addition is the Steak & Mexicana Cheese Toastie. The toastie sees cheese-topped bloomer bread filled with British pulled beef, spicy Mexicana cheese, caramelised onion, and mustard sauce in a chilli crumb.

Costa is also adding an array of new sandwiches, including BLT and prawn mayonnaise, in selected stores. There’s also egg & cress and roast chicken salad sandwiches that have been made using a new recipe.

The coffee giant has also boosted its breakfast range with a Vegan Saus’ge Bap made with plant-based sausages and vegan spread in a soft white bap. The Vegan Quorn Smoky Ham & Cheeze Toastie and Vegan BBQ Chick’n Panini are also returning to shelves.
