UK Coffee Chain Brings Back Discontinued British Treat After 5 Years Away From Menus
The chain says 71% of Britons prefer jam first, and the new Afternoon Bundle starts at £6.49 at selected stores.
- Costa Coffee has reintroduced scones to menus after 5 years, launching a new "50/50" treat topped with a balanced swirl of both jam and cream at more than 1,000 locations.
- Following a break that started during the Covid-19 pandemic, the chain returned to address the long-standing debate where 71% of Brits prefer the Cornish jam-first method, while 29% prefer cream first.
- The new Afternoon Bundle includes a regular drink and scone for £6.49; research found 55% rhyme "scone" with "gone" compared to 45% favoring "bone."
- Councillor Brian Stoyel, mayor of Saltash near the Devon–Cornwall border, tasted the treat and called it "proof that sometimes bringing people together is even better than settling the argument."
- Andrea Stewart, global head of food at Costa Coffee, said the company wanted to create a "playful compromise" that celebrates both jam-first and cream-first traditions for a limited time.
