Greggs Espresso
Short, strong and full of beans. If you’re after a no-nonsense, does what it says on the tin coffee boost, our Espresso should do just the trick.
About This Dish
The Greggs Espresso costs £1.80 and carries 12 calories, which rounds to none: a straight shot of the house Fairtrade blend, pulled fresh. The purest and cheapest coffee order on the board, and the fastest.
The blend's smooth roast shows most honestly here, chocolatey rather than sharp, made for drinking standing up. It doubles as the engineering check on any coffee bar: a chain that pulls a clean espresso can be trusted with the rest of the board.
Milk free by definition, it anchors the vegan drink list too. The coffee menu holds every price live.

Tips
- Espresso dies fast; the first minute is the whole show.
- Warm the cup first; cold china steals ten degrees.
- Fresh beans within a month of roasting change everything.
Variations
- Iced: same build over a full glass of ice.
- Swap dairy for barista oat milk.
- A dust of cocoa or cinnamon on top costs nothing.
Serving ideas
Beside a pastry, obviously.
