A Costa customer has called for a boycott of the chain, in response to it axing the Vegan Rocky Road from their menu.
The comment came in response to the fury of another fan, who took to Reddit to announce their anger at the item's absence.
The user, called Andy, said: "I went to Costa today this morning with friends and I was hoping to use my treat drop of two sweet treats for £4
"My mouth was watering for that delicious, oh so crunchy Vegan Rocky Road... until I rock up and notice there's none in the display.
"Not even a sign for it.
"The only Vegan cake on display was some kind of cheesecake. But I don't even like cheesecake and even if I did, that was sold out.
"I asked the staff member at the counter if it's discontinued and they just shrugged their shoulders and replied with 'I don't know you'll need to contact head office.'
"What's going on with the lack of Vegan options lately?
"So anyway, not wanting a drink, I just sat around my friends whilst they enjoyed their food (they're not Vegan so didn't have the same issue).
"I was just sat there with nothing.
Five ways to save money at costa
"Can anyone please confirm?"
Unfortunately for Andy, and other vegan rocky road lovers, his worst fears were confirmed to be true.
Another disappointed vegan fan with the username eowyn1990, replied saying: "The only vegan dessert option now is the cheesecake.
"They got rid of all the rest!
"I had to go to 5 different Costas to find it available for my birthday freebie."
This menu rotation has come as a brutal blow for many vegan fans of the ever-popular vegan rocky road.
The anger seemed to reach boiling point as one user, JayCoww, said "Costa should be boycotted."
Such is the concern over their fans outrage, a Costa spokesperson has put out an official statement in response to the widespread concern.
They said: "Our Caramelised Biscuit Vegan Rocky Road was removed from the menu last winter as part of our seasonal refresh.
"At Costa Coffee, we regularly update our offerings to bring customers exciting new flavours and experiences.
"While some favourites may come and go, we're committed to providing a wide variety of high-quality, delicious options to suit a range of tastes and dietary needs."
One user tried to offer alternative sources of vegan rocky road.
Diddleymaz said: "If you like Vegan Rocky Road you can join Slimming World because they're selling boxes of their hifi bars in that variety and they're gorgeous."
This comes after Grand Tour fans threatened to boycott Amazon Prime Video over fears of a change to their favourite show's lineup.
After departing the BBC and leaving Top Gear behind in 2015, The Clarkson's Farm star teamed up again with his longtime colleagues.
Alongside James May and Richard Hammond, he brought the on-screen band back together to make a different motoring show in 2016.
The trio went on to front five full series of The Grand Tour, before airing one last special as a grand send off in September 2024.
It marked the end of a 22-year-long collaboration between Jeremy, 65, James, 62, and Richard, 55.
Now, it's been revealed that the series will continue on Amazon Prime but with new presenters leading the format.
Thomas Holland and James Engelsman are a viral duo from the Throttle House car YouTube channel and they will be the new faces of the show.

Tragic last vid shows tourist, 26, smiling next to pal at summit before deadly plunge in active volcano crater
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TRAGIC footage shows a tourist, 26, smiling and joking with her pal before fatally falling into an active volcano crater. Juliana Marins slipped and plunged more than 1,600 feet from a hiking trail along the crater rim of Mount Rinjani on Saturday morning. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 10 The publicist and dancer had been backpacking though Southeast Asia 10 Juliana and her pal Federica joked about the cloud covered view at the top of Mount Rinjani 10 The 26-year-old survived the fall but was unable to climb back up due to her injuries The Brazilian national, who was a publicist and dancer from Niterói, near Rio de Janeiro, was trapped for four days after she fell while trekking up Indonesia's second-highest volcano. She had been backpacking through Southeast Asia since February, documenting her solo trip on social media. In heartbreaking footage, shared by a pal she met along her travels, Juliana could be seen joking and dancing in the days before her death. More clips showed the adventurous 26-year-old showing off the stunning vistas while riding on mopeds. Other shots revealed the dancer jumping into picturesque sinkholes and exploring caverns. In a tragic last video, Juliana and her friend Frederica, jibed about the view at the top of Mount Rinjani as it had been concealed by cloud cover. "I met Juliana the day before the trip. We were both traveling alone. We made it all the way to the top. It was very difficult. We climbed about 1,500 meters," Federica told G1 after the horror. In the clip Federica says sarcastically: "The view is amazing, you can tell it was so worth it." Juliana jokes: "Yeh, we did it for the view, so I'm glad, amazing!". This comes as distressing drone footage was also released which revealed Juliana trapped in a pit on the volcano as rescuers tried to reach her. Tourists on the Indonesian island of Lombok spotted her inside the crater after hearing screams for help. Juliana survived the fall but was unable to climb back up due to her injuries and had no access to food, water or shelter. The first rescue team was dispatched at 2.32pm local time on Saturday. After the initial alarm was raised, six more rescue teams tried to reach her. They were supported by two helicopters and equipment including an industrial drill. Cold temperatures and fog made search efforts on Sunday harder to navigate but a drone was able to locate Juliana. 10 A video shared by Juliana showed her dancing with pals on her travels Credit: Instagram@ajulianamarins 10 Other shots in the video revealed the dancer jumping into picturesque sinkholes Credit: Instagram@ajulianamarins 10 More clips showed the adventurous 26-year-old riding on mopeds Credit: Instagram@ajulianamarins However, when rescuers descended the volcano on Monday, she was no longer in the same spot. Rescuers finally located her on Tuesday, but it was tragically too late. Her family confirmed her death on social media, writing: "Today, the rescue team managed to reach the place where Juliana Marins was. "With great sadness, we inform you that she did not survive. "We remain very grateful for all the prayers, messages of affection and support that we have received." Earlier this week, Nikolas Osman, spokesperson for the East Lombok Police, said Juliana was hiking in a group and fell after suffering fatigue. He said: "While heading to the summit of Rinjani on the way to the Cemara Tunggal area, the victim experienced fatigue and the guide at that time advised her to rest. "Then the five guests in the tour group were taken by the guide to continue the journey. "However, by the time he returned to fetch her, the Brazilian woman was already missing." Indonesian authorities deployed three helicopters to try and rescue Juliana, according to West Nusa Tenggara governor Lalu Muhamad Iqbal. Iqbal told reporters: 'One helicopter from the Indonesian Armed Forces and national search and rescue agency (Basarnas) is expected to arrive at Zainuddin Abdul Madjid International Airport (BIZAM) around 2pm local time today.' Before the incident, Juliana had visited Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines. 10 In distressing drone footage, Juliana is seen trapped in a pit on the volcano as rescuers try to reach her 10 The young woman tragically died while hiking up Mount Rinjani 10 The search for Juliana was hampered by fog

Disturbing new text evidence from stuntwoman suing Kevin Costner over ‘unscripted' rape scene and ‘abuse of power'
The lawsuit is seeking damages and an apology 'ABOMINATION' Disturbing new text evidence from stuntwoman suing Kevin Costner over 'unscripted' rape scene and 'abuse of power' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A STUNTWOMAN'S lawsuit against Kevin Costner claiming that she was subjected to a "violent" unscripted rape scene has been amended to include disturbing alleged texts. Devyn LaBella, 34, alleged in one message there had been an 'abuse of power.' Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Kevin Costner the director, star and cowriter of the Horizon series of Westerns, has denied the allegations Credit: Getty 3 Kevin Costner's attorney has rejected the lawsuit, and claimed it has no merit Credit: Alamy 3 Hollywood stuntwoman Devyn LaBella, 34, is suing star and director Kevin Costner Credit: Getty The former gymnast who has worked as a Hollywood stunt performer since 2020 on the likes of Barbie and Yellowjackets filed her lawsuit on May 27 in Los Angeles Superior Court. She has alleged that she was subjected to an unscripted rape scene without proper warning, consent or protocols while shooting Costner's film Horizon: An American Saga: Chapter 2. Costner, 70, who was acting as well as directing on set for the movie, has denied all the allegations. His lawyer has denied there was "anything sexual in the shot." LaBella amended her lawsuit on June 18 to include alleged text messages, reported the US Weekly. READ MORE US NEWS BITE ME Alligator attacks kayakers leaving woman's arm SEVERED - one man fought the beast The publication claimed that it had seen new evidence submitted against Costner and his production firm Territory Pictures. The shoot included a planned sexual assault scene, shot in May of 2023, that LaBella performed much of because of its violent and physical nature, the initial lawsuit said. LaBella's lawsuit said she was the stunt double for one of the Horizon leads, Ella Hunt, 27, throughout the Western. For the initial scene, protocols were followed, including meetings, rehearsals, the presence of an intimacy coordinator and minimal crew, the lawsuit stated. But it alleged that the following day, in an unscripted scene with no warning, rehearsal or choreography, Costner directed an actor to pin LaBella down on a wagon and simulate rape. The lawsuit claimed that Costner asked for many takes as he experimented with the violent action and did not make it clear when a shot was beginning or ending. Hollywood Earnings Showdown: The Rock Tops 2024 The amended lawsuit includes alleged text messages LaBella claimed to have exchanged with the film's intimacy coordinator, Celeste Cheney, the day after the alleged scene was shot. LaBella wrote in the alleged text, dated May 3, 'Hi Celeste... I wanted to discuss yesterdays abomination when we both have a chance. "Are you around today? I was put in a really wrong position and it's really affected me." INTIMACY According to the Weekly, Cheney replied, "Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear this, Devyn. Yes, of course, let's talk it through." In a further alleged message, LaBella reportedly asked the coordinator, 'Why was there no intimacy coordinator?' The Weekly claimed that she also allegedly texted, 'Why was a stunt double doing this non stunt work — especially given the sensitivity of it? 'Who is gonna take responsibility for the abuse of power …' EXPLICIT ACTION These questions were among more than a dozen that LaBella allegedly asked Cheney in relation to the scene. For example, the amended lawsuit said she also allegedly asked, "how did lining up a shot turn into a rape sequence?" and "why was sensitive and explicit action commanded when it wasn't in the script?" The Weekly claimed that Cheney later wrote an incident report in which she allegedly noted that 'apologies were made to Ella [Hunt] and Devyn by various parties involved.' COSTNER'S ATTORNEY RESPONDS Costner's attorney, Martin Singer, has rejected LaBella's claims. He said in a statement, "Ms. LaBella was doing a rehearsal on an insert shot for a scripted scene." Any shot whose only objective is to draw the viewer's attention to a single aspect inside a scene is referred to as an insert shot, according to the Nashville Film Institute. Singer told The U.S. Sun, "There was no intimacy or anything sexual in the shot. "There was tugging on a dress while she was fully clothed in a dress with long bloomers lying down next to a male actor. "Numerous witnesses have contradicted Ms. LaBella's meritless claims. "She herself texted her supervisor after she wrapped stating, 'Thank you for these wonderful weeks.' "We look forward to the swift end of this specious lawsuit.' REHEARSED It followed his previous statement on the lawsuit when it was lodged. He said last month, "The scene in question was explained to Ms. LaBella. "After she performed the rehearsal in character with another actor, she gave her stunt coordinator supervisor a thumbs up and indicated her willingness to then shoot the scene, if needed (which she was not)." He added, "That night, Ms. LaBella had dinner with her supervisor, the stunt coordinator, and with the assistant stunt coordinator, and she was in good spirits and made no complaints to them. "She continued to work on the movie for a few more weeks until her wrap date, and she took the stunt coordinator to a thank-you dinner." DAMAGES The lawsuit seeks damages in an amount to be determined at trial. It also seeks a judge's order for the defendants to undergo sexual harassment training, to be required to use an intimacy coordinator on future productions and to issue LaBella a public apology. Costner has spent 30 years trying to make the ambitious, four-part Western epic Horizon: An American Saga. The first part was released in June 2024. But plans to release the second immediately afterwards were put on hold after the poor box office performance of part one.
