After the festive rush, January is often a big month for restaurant and bar deals. As people reign it in after Christmas, many venues put on a range of offers and deals to lure people back in for a start-of-the-year treat.
Throughout the month, there’s some great offers in place from some of the best venues, with some even offering 50% off their bill on select days. One of those enticing coffee lovers in this January is the UK’s leading dessert chain.
Creams Cafe will be offering £1 coffee every week day until the end of the month to encourage a simple treat without breaking the bank post Christmas. The offer applies to any coffee for the whole of January.

It is also launching a new range of indulgent but affordable Soft Swirl Sundaes at just £3.75. The new Soft Swirl Sundaes range features creations like Raspberry Rippletto, Honey Blueberry Crunch, Lemon & Strawberry Eton Mess, Black Forest, and Strawberry Choc.
The post-Christmas period is also commonly linked with low mood, and national campaigns around Blue Monday (19 January) encourage people to check in on friends and families. Small, affordable treats can make a big difference.
“January can feel long, grey and financially stretched,” said Everett Fieldgate, CEO at Creams Cafe.
“Our £1 for any coffee is designed to offer people a simple pick-me-up at a time they need it most and the Soft Swirls give them a sweet reason to meet someone who matters.”

“We want to make it easy to enjoy a daily coffee or a treat without overspending – we hope it’ll give our customers an opportunity to connect with friends and family. and reclaim a little joy in what can be one of the toughest months of the year.”
Creams Cafe also reckons if every Brit who buys a coffee out did so at Creams in January, it’d equate to a national saving of £1.7 billion – or approximately £72 for those who buy one coffee each day.
Research by the British Coffee Association found that people in the UK drink 95 million cups of coffee a day. On average, 1 in 4 cups is bought out-of-home in coffee shops, restaurants, and bars, costing £23.75 million.

As many will have noticed, the cost of a cup of coffee is also on the up. The average high-street coffee price is £3.35. According to Silver Oak Coffee, speciality coffee roasters, One of the main reasons for coffee getting more expensive is the dramatic rise in global coffee bean prices.
Arabica beans saw prices soar by over 80% in 2024, reaching $3.44 (£2.70) per pound, the highest since 1977. Robusta, often used in instant coffee, has also hit record highs, with prices up 92% year-on-year.
Creams Franchising Limited is the UK’s largest dessert restaurant brand. Founded in 2008, there are currently around 100 stores including two in Manchester and one in Wigan. Stores can be found at Manchester Arndale, Cheetham Hill Shopping Centre, and Scot Lane in Wigan.
