Costa Coffee customers who fancy a change can now choose from a range of M&S food at more than 2,500 of the chain's shops.
The new collaboration sees more than 30 M&S Food products at its UK stores and drive-through outlets from this month.
The products will sit alongside Costa ’s range and include sandwiches and salads, hot meal boxes and children’s food, the coffee chain said.

The link-up, which was announced last year, means that M&S Food will instantly gain access to Costa’s 2,500+ UK outlets in high streets and retail parks.
The chain has around 30 outlets in the North East, including concessions in hospitals and colleges.
“This collaboration with M&S Food will build on our existing food range and help us fulfil our ambition to become the first choice for customers buying food and coffee on the go," explained Neil Lake, Costa Coffee managing director for the UK and Ireland.
M&S Food managing director Stuart Machin added that: “This collaboration gives many more customers the opportunity to enjoy our wide range of delicious sandwiches, salads and snacks in over 2,500 locations across the UK – not just on the high street but in neighbourhood locations and retail parks.
“Bringing together delicious, great quality M&S Food and the nation’s largest chain of coffee shops is great for customers as it extends our reach and supports our strategy of making M&S more relevant, more often for families.”
