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.

Katie Taylor's dad CONFIRMS legendary daughter's relationship status after pics emerge of her wearing ‘wedding ring'
Pete opened up on their reunion in an exclusive interview with The Irish Sun Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) KATIE TAYLOR'S dad Pete has confirmed that the Irish boxing legend is married. In pics ahead of her trilogy bout against Amanda Serrano, the Wicklow fighter appeared to be wearing a ring on her left hand. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Katie Taylor wore a ring on her left hand in the week before her win over Amanda Serrano Credit: Stephen McCarthy/Sportsfile 2 Pete Taylor confirmed his daughter was married Credit: Ramsey Cardy/Sportsfile And during an appearance on the Anything Goes podcast with James English, her dad Pete confirmed that she had indeed tied the knot. He said: "Ever since the fight there with Katie, people are seeing the two of us back together, even some of the s*** you hear about that. "I was reading somewhere that Katie Taylor never got married because of her father, he wouldn't let her. "Katie's married, you know, and I'm thinking, 'where are you getting this s*** from?'" Dad and daughter reunited to work together in the lead-up to the 39-year-old's sensational trilogy win over Amanda Serrano on July 11. Pete had coached her during her amateur career, peaking with her winning an Olympic gold medal in London in 2012. However, they parted ways after Pete split from Katie's mum Bridget. Taylor controversially lost her title at the Rio Olympics in 2016 and turned pro later that year, and has been trained by Ross Enamait ever since. In an exclusive interview with the Irish Sun a week on from her victory over the Puerto Rican, Pete sought to dispel preconceptions concerning their relationship. He said: "We posted online that we were training together, but we were still very close. I was still over visiting her. Pete Taylor opens up on training with Katie Taylor "This is a media thing that me and Katie got back together for the fight. It's not true. "We've always been close, and we've been talking for the last five or six years. It was just that I didn't get involved in the training. "We were always talking boxing. That's just natural. When I call over to her, we go to the gym together. "She just asked me to help out in this camp, and that was it - but it wasn't that we rekindled this relationship. "We were close all the time. "People love these stories. I think they must have boring lives or something, because they're so interested in other people's lives. "I don't post anything about my own personal life on Instagram. Katie's the same, and then, when we put it up, you could say it went viral. "We've always been close. I was actually shocked that it went so viral, to tell you the truth."
