The sun is starting to shine, and that can only mean one thing – the need for a refreshing drink. Just in time, Costa Coffee’s viral Iced Whipped Lattes are making a comeback – and this time, they’re here to stay all year round.
Available in stores nationwide, we had the chance to try both flavours, along with the Nacho Chili Cheese and Chicken Toastie. And TikTok users are adding one hack to their order to make one drink taste like Kinder Bueno.

Perfect for both warm and chilly days, these drinks come in two tempting flavors – caramel and white chocolate. We enjoyed both and would easily pick them over a standard iced latte any day.
They are smooth, thick, and irresistibly creamy. If you have a serious sweet tooth, the caramel is the ultimate treat. For something a little less sugary but still satisfyingly sweet, the white chocolate is a great choice – and you can barely taste the coffee at all!
Both the caramel and white chocolate tasted rich and luxurious – far from cheap or artificial. The salted caramel added a subtle depth that set it apart from regular caramel, while the white chocolate had a smooth, creamy marshmallow-like taste.
On TikTok, some people even suggest getting a pump of hazelnut syrup with the chocolate one to make a drink that taste like Kinder Bueno.
We did! In fact, we loved it so much we need more, and now. This returning item had so much filling and the chicken pulled apart. The chilli cheese and nacho cheese sauce added a punch – but not too much – so even if you don’t like a lot of heat, you will still love this. It also goes great with the whipped latte as it’s a balance between sweet and savoury.
We tried their limited-time drinks which are Innocent’s new 80ml Immunity Shot (Ginger & Turmeric) and the Gut Health Shot (Calcium & Apple Cider Vinegar). Available until April 2, they cost just £1 at participating stores. Fair warning – they’re strong! But they’re a fantastic way to jumpstart your day, especially if you’re on your way to the office.
We also gave their new Pistachio Chocolate Cookie Sandwich and their new Iced Chick Gingerbread Biscuit a go. The biscuit was great and sweet but the stand out to us was the cookie sandwich. The chocolate was perfect and and the cookie itself was soft and fluffy – very light too – so it’s a perfect pairing with the latte as the last thing you want is walking around the shops or sitting in the office feeling stuffed and sick.
David Crabtree, head of beverage innovation at Costa Coffee, commented on the viral drink and said it’s thanks to them it’s staying. He said: “The response to our Iced Whipped Latte range has been incredible.
“Customers have embraced our twist on an Iced Latte, and we’ve loved seeing many TikTok videos of people enjoying it. So, we thought, why wait until Summer?
“For the first time ever, it’s back earlier than ever and joining our menu of core iced coffee classics. Whether it’s the middle of winter or the height of summer, you can now get your Iced Whipped Latte fix whenever you like.”
