If you're looking for the best flavoured coffee in the UK, our answer's simple: start with a great base coffee, flavour it properly and don't go overboard. It might sound simple, but getting those flavour combinations right can be tricky.
Every one of our flavoured coffees - from our longest-standing bestsellers to the newest arrivals fresh out of the roastery - starts life as our signature Morning Glory blend, then gets flavoured in-house, right here in Gotham, Nottingham.
We're not chasing artificial-tasting, headache-inducing flavour bombs. We're interested in the real thing, creating a coffee that tastes unmistakably of vanilla, caramel, cherry bakewell or a custard tart without drowning out and overwhelming the coffee itself.
How We Flavour Our Coffee (and why it tastes so good)
Every flavoured coffee we sell starts with Morning Glory, our house blend, roasted and ready to take on a flavour without losing its own character. From there, everything's blended and infused in-house, which means no outsourcing and no shortcuts.
We aim for balance above anything else, a flavour that's strong enough to actually taste, but never so loud it tips into artificial-tasting or sickly territory. If you've tried flavoured coffee before and found it a bit much, ours is balanced to be the opposite of that.
Our Bestselling Flavoured Coffees
These three have topped our sales year after year, and it's not hard to see why.
French Vanilla
Sweet, buttery vanilla with a mild nuttiness underneath, this is the flavoured coffee equivalent of a warm blanket. It's smooth rather than sickly, with a rounded, slightly toasted edge that keeps every cup interesting rather than dull.

Salted Caramel
Rich, golden caramel with just enough sea salt to sharpen the sweetness and stop it tipping into dessert territory. It's indulgent without being over the top and it's a proper crowd-pleaser, delicious whether you take it black or with a splash of milk.

Rich Chocolate
For anyone who thinks most "chocolate" coffees are all talk, ours truly delivers. A full-on cocoa hit paired with robust, aromatic coffee, it's a flavoured chocolate coffee that's decadent without being sugary. If you're serious about chocolate, this is the one to try.

Our Newest Flavoured Coffees
Hot out of the roastery (quite literally), these three have only just been released, and one of them is already threatening to knock French Vanilla off the top spot.
Pastel de Nata
Inspired by Portugal's legendary egg custard tart, this one's warm pastry, smooth custard and a hint of cinnamon in every cup - no flight required. It's already edging its way up the bestseller list, and we reckon it won't be the new outlier for much longer.

Cherry Bakewell
A proper British classic in coffee form. Sweet, nutty almond and juicy cherry, infused into our Morning Glory base for a blend that tastes just like the bake it's named after. This one's proving especially popular with anyone who has a soft spot for almond flavours.

Devonshire Custard
Silky, spoon-licking custard, now living in your coffee cup. Rich and velvety without being heavy, this is dessert-for-breakfast done properly and if you love Pastel de Nata, this is the natural next flavour to try.
