ITALIAN BAKERS “NONNA” MARKS FIRST EVER ‘TIRAMISU LATTE DAY’ WITH FREE TIRAMISU ICED LATTES ON 9TH JULY
Step aside Matcha; the nation’s capital is embracing a new ‘it’ coffee trend this Summer. On Thursday 9 July, cafés across London will mark the UK’s first ever National Tiramisu Latte Day, with hundreds of the must-have beverage being created in celebration of its recent viral fame.
By the way, did you know that Tiramisu means “pick me up” in Italian and refers to the coffee in the pudding? Bet you didn’t!
Supported by Galbani, four London cafés will be serving their take on the dessert-inspired drinks. Each drink is made with Galbani Mascarpone for a deliciously indulgent creamy finish, bringing the adored tiramisu flavours to a refreshing iced coffee serve, aka “dessert-in-a-cup”.
Free drinks at Nonna Bakery from 2pm
To celebrate the day, artisan Italian café, Nonna Bakery (High Holborn) will be giving away free iced Tiramisu Lattes from 2pm, while stocks last.
For coffee lovers who miss out, there will still be time to try the tasty trend. Following National Tiramisu Latte Day, the iced Tiramisu Latte will remain on Nonna Bakery’s menu for six weeks.
Héloïse Le Norcy‑Trott, Group Marketing & Category Director at Lactalis UK & Ireland, said: “Indulgent iced drinks are having a real moment, and the tiramisu latte is a perfect fit. For National Tiramisu Latte Day, we are bringing it to life with two iced options, Classic and Pistachio, made with Galbani Mascarpone for a consistently creamy finish.”
