You’ll be able to grab and ‘gram one for yourself at London’s swanky Hotel Café Royal. The catch is you’ll have to go to the posh gaff at breakfast time to nab one, as they feature on the brekkie menu only.

Flavours? The wonderfully vibrant pastries of absolute joy are incredibly fruity and are infused with mango, passion fruit, amarena cherry and pistachio, lovely.
