The drinks, which will only be available for a limited time and are inspired by ‘nostalgic summertime flavours’, can be customised with a range of dairy alternatives.

Review:Jacob: I tried the ‘Strawberry Wafflecone Crème’ Frappuccino and although it was nice, it just tasted like a vanilla milkshake with a hint of strawberry. I really don’t think it is anything special and for the price I was expecting something a lot more spectacular. It could have also been a bit thicker with slightly more strawberry syrup.

Megan: I really enjoyed the ‘Chocolatey Wafflecone Coffee’ Frappuccino. It tasted like a classic chocolate milkshake and would’ve gone down very well with a burger and fries – but it’s not the sort of thing I’d usually order from a coffee shop. I prematurely gave the drink a nine out of ten without considering the price which I feel was too high for the smallest size, however, the flavour was delicious and I’d highly recommend it to anyone craving a sweet treat.
