Costa - Turkey, Bacon and Cranberry Gluten Free Wrap


After a very busy morning rushing across London, I dashed into Costa in London Bridge to grab lunch before I got the bus to work.  I had read about the new Turkey, Bacon and Cranberry Gluten Free Wrap previously but  this was not on my mind when I stepped into Costa as I was in a rush.


I just headed straight to the fridge and scanned the shelves looking for a gluten free wrap, when I saw it I thought "hmmm ok, I guess this is it then" as it was my only option.


The filling looks to be quite evenly distributed but I can honestly say that I didn't taste a thing, now this could have been due to the fact that I was pre-occupied whilst eating (multitasking after rushing around all morning).  I remember a hint of smokiness from the bacon and tanginess of the cranberry but other than that it was just wrap and mayonnaise!

I am thankful for the fact that I was able to pick up something for lunch at all but only one option is basically saying take it or leave it and I can't exactly go into any shop to get something substantial to eat (when I forget my lunch at home).

It filled the hunger but it's not something I would rush back to get.

Price I think was around £3

Costa - Chicken and Basil Salad Gluten Free Wrap


After seeing that Costa had launched a new wrap to their gluten free range I was very eager to try it out.

Having on the go gluten free options is still fairly limited so I was excited about this new product.


So I finally made a purchase last weekend whilst out shopping with my little brother.

The price is competitive for what you would find in a coffee shop, so no complaints on that front.

I wasn't too sure about the wrap having seeds in it as I am not a huge fan on seeded bread but I will try most things once.


To my surprise the wrap was very soft and did not fall apart. The seeds were minimal and therefore hardly noticeable.

The filling was just enough, maybe there could have been a little bit more, but less is more when it's too bulky and you end up losing half of the filling through the other end of the wrap (which can make things very messy!).

I let my brother have a taste and he liked it considering he is a bit of a fussy eater sometimes.

Overall, I enjoyed Cosra's Chicken and Basil Salad Gluten Free Wrap and would definitely repurchase on a regular basis especially when I don't have time to make lunch myself. I may even have to purchase the Warbutons wraps (which I always left on the shelf because they were seeded!) and create my own wraps!
