Starbucks has plans to expand its vegan fare with vegan bowls, cake, and overnight oats added to its menu.

 A Starbucks “insider” sent an image to Vegan Food UK leaking the items of the new vegan menu that the coffee shop chain is planning to introduce in the UK.

The group posted the image on their account with a caption that states: “We believe this may launch for Veganuary or sooner, along with some other bits.”

The new items include a vegan Chocolate & Raspberry Mini Loaf Cake, a Vegan Smoky Jackfruit & Grains bowl made from pulled smoky BBQ jackfruit and dairy-free smoked cheese and Chocolate & Coconut Overnight Oats.

The options will add to the chain’s growing list of vegan items, which include a dairy-free mac ‘n’ cheese, a BBQ vegan wrap with jackfruit and Cole slaw, and a tofu breakfast burrito.

Although the launch is primarily for UK customers, it is speculated that the coffee brand may roll out the items to US customers in the near future.
