High street coffee chain Costa has been praised by shoppers for a free drink you can ask for. There are two versions of the drink - one is free and one costs 60p.
Writing on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains group, Betsy Boo said: "I don’t recall seeing this on the menu but Costa offer a small hot chocolate (Babyccino- be sure to ask for the chocolate version) or frothed milk for 60p drink in or take out, including at train stations. It comes with an optional marshmallow. Perfect child size and the fraction of the cost of their small drinks."
The post caught the attention of fellow parents. Zoë Emma Hannah said: "They can also make them with alternative milk. My little boy has a milk allergy so they make it up with soya milk for him but have other options available too. They always clean down the steamer as well to help with cross contamination. He loves them. The marshmallows and chocolate powder is also milk free so it’s nice he doesn’t have to miss out.
