Free Fruit

Tesco has a 'help yourself' tray of fruit for your kids at the entrance to the store.

Blender Blitz

Tesco have their smoothie mixes - strawberry and spinach, mango and kale, passionfruit and blueberry - at £2 or £1.33 if three bought.

Gone but not forgotten

 Fred's at Tesco Osterley is no more.

 How many more of Tesco's cafe and restaurant concepts will last?

Sourdough Crumpets

New, tasty and worth a premium price - Sourdough Crumpets.  When will we have the first Crumpet Cafe?!

Fred's Food Subs

 Tesco's new Fred's Food Construction sub unit in the City cum Tesco Express

Classic Baking

 Tesco's Bakery Project aims to restore the crown jewels of classic British bread and cakes.

 Bannock Shortbread

 Hackney Marsh Cake

Rock Cakes

 Victoria Sponge and Carrot cakes in the chiller

 Scones

Tesco's Bakery Project

 Just opened at Tesco Loudwater and rolling out down south.

 Inspired by their Euphorium Bakery purchase, the 'posh' bowler hat lights and open display look good.

 Definitely 'buy with your eyes' presentation.

Weirdoughs

Savoury doughnuts - what next?!  Spotted by my teenage daughter Natalie.

Pretzels

Cheese topped pretzels at Tesco and a product that would sell well in any take away cafe.

Tesco Euphoria

Euphorium Bakery section at Tesco in the West End - premium sandwiches and pastries.

This Has Legs

 A vision of things to come - Giraffe Stop at King's Cross Station.  Fast takeaway service as well as some sit down space.

 Giraffe (sorry, Tesco) is on to a winner with this concept in high footfall locations.

Wow the Cyclists

Guest Spot

Cycle rack at Tesco's in Norwich spotted by Alan Miller.

Flash, Beep & Vibrate

What cafe do you get when you cross Taylor St Baristas and Tesco.  Answer: Harris & Hoole.  Interesting use of pagers even when the order is for just one small latte.  It was a good coffee when it was ready.

Rolls of brown paper signage

Strong evidence for home baking

Lots of messages

Cakes and sandwiches all the better for open display and ambient temperature

Red (Chocolate) Roses

Three special ladies in my life - wife and twin teenage daughters - will get Carluccios chocolate roses and a short break to Barcelona - anyone know some great cafes there?

"Marry Me?" cakes and cupcakes at Dobbies garden centre cafe at Ashford - this is one very switched-on cafe operation and a treasure trove of future blog posts.  Tesco, who owns Dobbies, is on to a winner.  Will Dobbies will sort out Tesco cafes one day?

You just cannot get enough heart shapes - Krispy Kreme's doughnuts and Millies cookies.  I prefer the chocolate roses.
