Fully vegan doughnut and co ee shop opens in London In our recent article “5 Ways To Di erentiate Your Co ee Shop From The Competition” we noted one way to was o er something di erent for the growing trend and massive opportunity for people living the vegan lifestyle. The Metro reports that Crosstown, the doughnut company famous for its gourmet sourdough doughnuts is doing just that – a fully vegan co ee and doughnut shop. Crosstown’s vegan fans will be pleased to know that they can soon buy their favourite vegan doughnuts seven days a week, at Crosstown’s new vegan doughnut and co ee shop in central London. The store will be in Marylebone, opposite Selfridges, on Picton Place, so will be perfect for Oxford Street shoppers who fancy a little rest. It will sell vegan doughnuts, speciality co ee, and a selection of other vegan hot and cold drinks. To celebrate, Crosstown is launching two new limited edition flavours, as a taste of what’s to come. One is a vegan sourdough doughnut with a pineapple glaze, coconut chips, and tropical fruit compote and the other a vegan sourdough doughnut, with a vanilla glaze, vanilla crumble, and forest fruits compote in the middle.

Co ee shop chains eye big ice cream margins from a small footprint Carpigiani has found a way of giving operators such as convenience stores, pastry shops and co ee shops a chance to make a margin from ice cream by creating a machine that measures just 300mm wide and works o a 13amp plug, reports “Food Service Equipment Journal” The manufacturer’s new 161 model is its narrowest yet and features air venting on the bottom rather than the side, meaning that it can be butted up against a wall or next to other equipment for operators that are short on space.

Scott Duncan, sales director at Carpigiani, said that operators that haven’t traditionally had room for any form of frozen dessert o ering are showing a keen interest in the 161. “The key message for this model is that it’s ideal for anyone not serving ice cream at the moment that wants to menu extend, so add an ice cream or a frozen o er to their business – co ee shops and convenience stores, for example.

the moment that have shown an interest, both for so ice cream and frozen yoghurt. It gives them a flexible option.” Previously Carpigiani’s smallest machine was 500mm in width, but given that it also recommends a 100mm gap on either side for that model the 161 fits half the space. Mr Duncan said that creating a self-pasteurising machine with a 13amp connection is a game-changer for the industry. “There are three benefits for the self-pasteurisation. The first one is food safety because people know their products are safe. The second one is labour sav g, because rather than cleaning it twice a week you only need to clean it every six weeks. And the third is when you clean your machine you’ve got to throw the product away, so there is a product saving.” The 161 will serve up a single flavour from the tank and is capable of delivering three portions a minute, or around 180 an hour. “We wouldn’t recommend it if you’re on Brighton seafront but as a menu extension you are going to be able to deliver so ice cream, some shakes and frozen yoghurt,” added Mr Duncan.
Simon Thomas reveals stranger’s act of kindness in a co ee shop Simon Thomas, the former Blue Peter presenter, told his followers on social media on Monday that he had received an anonymous note from behind the counter when he took a trip out to his local co ee shop, Nomad Bakery, in Reading. When the dad-of-one went to pay, he was handed a piece of paper, which read: “Please could you take this as payment next time Simon Thomas comes in with his son Ethan for a drink and cake! Let them know everyone is wishing them both strength and happiness.” On social media, Simon commented, “some wonderfully kind people out there. Someone le this in @nomadrdguk today. Whoever you are – thank you. God Bless.”

Starbucks trials extra 5p charge for takeaway co ee cups Create PDF in your applications with the Pdfcrowd HTML to PDF API

If you buy a Starbucks co ee in London, you might notice an extra charge on top of your £3.10 cappuccino reports The Metro. The chain has started a three-month trial where 5p is added to the cost of each drink if people do not bring their own mug with them. It a ects 35 branches in London, including some in the West End and the City, and money from the extra charge will go to environmental charity Hubbub, which is helping coordinate it. E ectively, people will be paying for their cup on top of their co ee in a bid to encourage them to think more about the waste they’re generating. Many co ee shops, including Starbucks, already o er a discount to people who bring in a reusable cup. Pret is the most generous, o ering 50p o , while Starbucks and Costa both o er a 25p discount. However, most people still don’t bring their own cup – so the hope is that customers will respond better to an extra charge (the stick, as opposed to the carrot.) Why aren’t co ee cups getting recycled? Takeaway co ee cups are very di icult to recycle because of their waterproof plastic coating, and as such are a major problem for the environment, with 2.5 billion thrown away every year in Britain Almost all of these cups are incinerated, exported or sent to landfill, because their plastic lining makes them expensive to recycle. Fewer than 1% of co ee cups are recycled because there are only three facilities in the UK that can split the paper and plastic components. However, most people dispose of their co ee cups in recycling bins because they think they’ll be recycled. Starbucks surveyed people and found that 48% of people surveyed said they would carry a reusable cup rather than pay a charge. However, drinks in reusable cups make up only 1 to 2% of purchases at UK co ee shops currently. It comes a er MPs from the Environmental Audit Committee said chains should introduce a 25p ‘latte levy’ last month to try and combat the waste generated. Committee chairwoman Mary Creagh said: ‘The UK throws away 2.5billion disposable co ee cups every year, enough to circle the planet five-and-a-half times. Almost none are recycled and half a million a day are littered. # ‘Co ee cup producers and distributors have not taken action to rectify this, and Government has sat on its hands. ‘The UK’s co ee shop market is expanding rapidly, so we need to kick-start a revolution in recycling. We’re calling for action to reduce the number of single-use cups, promoting reusable cups over disposable cups and to recycle all co ee cups by 2023.’ Create PDF in your applications with the Pdfcrowd HTML to PDF API
