Surviving half term? Here’s how tired parents can get a free premium coffee from Yolk this week

Half term is in full swing, and for parents, that means early starts, endless snack demands, and a whole lot of running around. If your energy levels are dipping, one of our favourite premium coffee spots, Yolk, has a little pick-me-up for you.

This week, parents can claim a totally free barista-made coffee with any in-store purchase – just say the secret code “HELPME” at the till. Whether you’re grabbing a brownie for your kid (or yourself – no judgement), one of Yolk’s signature ciabatta sandwiches, or even just an extra caffeine hit, the deal is there to help you power through the week. It’s valid at all nine of Yolk’s locations across Central London – so at least while you’re on the go this week, a much-needed pick me up is never far away.

The giveaway also coincides with the launch of Yolk’s new coffee subscription, setting itself apart from the usual high-street options by focusing on quality and luxe ingredients. Using Caravan coffee beans, Estate Dairy milk, and ceremonial-grade matcha, Yolk is positioning itself as the go-to for coffee lovers who care about what’s in their cup.

The subscription comes in three tiers: BasicBrew (free), which gives free coffee on signup, plus loyalty points towards future drinks and treats; ClassicBrew (£10/month, first month £1), which takes 50% off all barista-made drinks, with double points on afternoon orders, and the option we’re most excited about, PremierBrew (£40/month, first month half price), which will hook you up with three barista-made drinks per day, plus all-day double loyalty points.

So, if you’re in need of a caffeine boost to survive the half-term madness, Yolk has your back. Just head in, say the magic word, and enjoy a premium coffee – on the house.
