It’s officially half term, which means the streets of London are about to be raided by more children than usual. And parents are probably in need of more caffeine than usual, too. Yolk, the coffee and sandwich aficionados which you’ll find dotted around central London, have pre-empted their caffeine needs, and are offering a free coffee with any purchase in store during half term week.
Half term can be a wonderful opportunity to spend quality time with the kids, but often parents feel the pressure to pack the week with fun-filled activities, as well as juggling their day jobs, and, of course, the rest of the mental load you carry as a parent. Yolk have decided to make it a teeny bit easier on parents. So, if you find yourself in central London during half term, pop into a Yolk branch, get yourself a sandwich or a brownie, or a drink for your little one, and you’ll get a coffee on the house. The offer is valid with literally any purchase, so you could even get two coffees for the price of one if it really is one of those days.
How do I claim my free coffee? would be a good question to ask about now, and the answer is simple: you just need to enter the very silly (but also very serious) secret code at the till: HELPME.
This initiative to “save” tired parents follows the announcement of Yolk’s brand new coffee subscription service where you can choose from various memberships, each with different perks. These include your classic loyalty benefits (every tenth coffee free) with a free membership, 50% off a daily barista-made drink for £10 a month, or up to three barista-made drinks per day for £40 a month. You can find out about Yolk’s coffee subscription service over on their website.
