Wetherspoons Hack Turns £4 Dessert Into Affogato-Style Treat

The low-cost, off-menu twist shows how a customer tip can spread into a chain-wide trend.

Overview

  • Regional outlets on Saturday reported a viral clip by a user named James that shows how to create an affogato-style dessert at Wetherspoons.
  • The trick pairs the Cookie Crunch mini dessert with a separate espresso to mimic affogato, which is ice cream topped with a hot coffee shot.
  • The Cookie Crunch mini is listed at £2.12 and an espresso at £1.85, keeping the combo under £4 at most pubs with prices varying by location.
  • A Wetherspoons employee praised the mix as a “genius combo,” and many viewers said they plan to order it on their next visit.
  • Articles note the espresso is priced with free refills, allowing extra shots, while commenters suggested swaps like plain vanilla ice cream or an espresso martini.
