Well, it’s certainly beginning to feel like summer is over… 🌧️🍂

But what better way to lift the spirits on a dark and gloomy day than with a delicious barista coffee and one of these stunning Black Forest Cruffins ☕️🍒🍫

Our Black Forest Cruffin is filled with dark chocolate crème pâtissière and black cherry compote, dipped in a rich chocolate glaze and finished with a generous swirl of Chantilly cream and a cherry on top.

Honestly… what’s not to love? 😍

Come and grab one while they last — they won’t be here for long!

Football aside... we've got a winner of our own. ⚽🥐🍓

Eton Mess Cruffins have just landed, and trust us... they're worth celebrating.

Freshly baked croissant pastry with a light, fluffy muffin-style interior, generously filled with silky strawberry & cream crème pâtissière, then finished with fresh strawberries for the perfect summer treat.

Pair one with one of our expertly crafted lattes, settle into the sunshine on the terrace, and let the football take care of itself.

Available now at Alexander's... while they last! ❤️☕🍓
