Sweet Sensations 🥳

Creams Café is increasing its market share, so we decided to go behind the numbers.

Record festive trading was the ideal Christmas present for Creams Café – the UK’s leading 100-strong dessert café brand. Like-for-like in-café sales were up 5.8% in December 2023 against the same period in 2022. Delivery sales also enjoyed an uplift of 2.5%. The October launch of the brand’s range of hot desserts obviously hit the sweet spot, while the Great Gelato Giveaway on Black Friday saw more than 50,000 scoops enjoyed by Creams’ customers.

La dolce vita!

Specialising in gelato and ice cream machines, Carpigiani UK is helping cafés excel.

There is an increasing UK demand for artisanal desserts like gelato. Customers are more aware of the difference between artisan gelato and ice cream, and Mr Whippy and soft gelato. It’s a key trend that those in the café sector need to be aware of.

Ideally placed to take advantage is Carpigiani UK Ltd – a world leader in soft ice cream and gelato machines. Established for over 70 years, it boasts staff with a vast amount of experience, with access to renowned ‘Ice Cream Masters’ and technical experts.

Time to share. 🍨

Fabien Levet, commercial manager at pastry specialists Pidy has some invaluable advice for operators.

As a nation of dessert lovers, the British sweet treats industry is constantly evolving, with trends emerging every other week. Keeping track of what’s hot can be challenging, but there are a few themes that experts predict will be popular throughout the whole of 2024.

Top of the list is dessert boards. Think cheeseboards or sharing starter platters, but in dessert form! Operators can offer a miniature portion of three to six of their most popular desserts for those indecisive diners. Let customers choose from a list for a greater sense of control or opt for one specific area to focus on for maximum ease.

Farrers Tea and Coffee have generations of buying, roasting and blending expertise. Remarkably dating back to 1819, the modern iteration of the business is branded as a marque of tradition and excellence.

Making a splash!

Extracts, ethics and emerging alternatives - Exciting coffee trends to look forward to in 2024.

Lincoln & York have more than 25 years of roasting expertise, enjoying global success as a private label coffee manufacturer – behind hundreds of blends. Coffee buyer, Chris Tough, offers up some invaluable insight.

While the future is traditionally read in tea leaves, we’re looking to coffee to make our predictions.

Despite the cost of living continuing to squeeze household budgets, there have been no signs of an impact on consumer coffee buying habits, with the out of home (OOH) market attracting an additional 1.56 million consumers since last year.

It’s with this level of resilience and an ambitious outlook for further growth that we look forward to an exciting future.
