It happens every year \u2013 and we look forward to it. Things get slow, sticky, faintly delirious. No beverage known to man seems quite capable of cutting through the heat. Until, of course, a lightbulb moment strikes: there\u2019s a red-and-black, at times silver, can waiting patiently in your fridge, left marinating for days, now ice-cold, crisp, almost offensively fizzy. Name a better feeling. We\u2019d call it a midday summer\u2019s dream.<\/p>\n<p>But believe it or not, that ritual might be due for an upgrade. Coca-Cola has announced the arrival of a new flavour to its beloved cherry portfolio, the Cherry Float Zero Sugar and, naturally, marked the moment with a Soho takeover last Friday. Enter The Cherry Coke Caf\u00e9 \u2013 <em>Wonderland<\/em> stopped by to see what all the buzz was about.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" data-id=\"289540\" src=\"https:\/\/media.wonderlandmagazine.com\/uploads\/2026\/04\/MAURAxCOLA-SETUP_043060-800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"Coca-Cola Is Also Going Cherry This Summer\" class=\"wp-image-289540\"><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1799\" height=\"1200\" data-id=\"289541\" src=\"https:\/\/media.wonderlandmagazine.com\/uploads\/2026\/04\/MAURAxCOLA-SETUP_042756-1799x1200.jpg\" alt=\"Coca-Cola Is Also Going Cherry This Summer\" class=\"wp-image-289541\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1799\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/media.wonderlandmagazine.com\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Coca-Cola-is-putting-a-cherry-spin-on-a-British-classic-with-the-Cherry-Coke-Cafe-an-immersive-experience-celebrating-the-Coca-Cola-Cherry-portfolio.3-1799x1200.jpg\" alt=\"Coca-Cola Is Also Going Cherry This Summer\" class=\"wp-image-289542\"><\/figure>\n<p>Tucked along London\u2019s Greek Street, the pink-painted, cherry-stamped space is already fizzing at the door, and behind it lies treat upon treat. Think token-filled ball machines stocked with exclusive merchandise \u2013 baby tees, dad caps, the kind of pieces you\u2019d expect to pick up on a sun-soaked seaside pier. There\u2019s a nostalgic charm to it all, the world of everyone\u2019s favourite fizzy drink reimagined with a glossy, cherry-tinged finish.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"289544\" src=\"https:\/\/media.wonderlandmagazine.com\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Television-personality-Maura-Higgins-is-hosting-the-Cherry-Coke-Cafe-an-immersive-experience-celebrating-the-Coca-Cola-Cherry-portfolio.3-800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"Coca-Cola Is Also Going Cherry This Summer\" class=\"wp-image-289544\"><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"801\" height=\"1200\" data-id=\"289543\" src=\"https:\/\/media.wonderlandmagazine.com\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Television-personality-Maura-Higgins-is-hosting-the-Cherry-Coke-Cafe-an-immersive-experience-celebrating-the-Coca-Cola-Cherry-portfolio.2-801x1200.jpg\" alt=\"Coca-Cola Is Also Going Cherry This Summer\" class=\"wp-image-289543\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<p>And what\u2019s there to do when in the presence of such greatness \u2013 Miss Can of Coke herself? Crack it open, of course. At the pop-up, guests are invited to an afternoon tea experience, served on a silver three-tier stand, with each course inspired by one of the three cherry-laced flavours: Coca-Cola Cherry Zero Sugar (a classic favourite), Coca-Cola Cherry Float Zero Sugar (the newest addition to the family, sweet on the palate) and Diet Coke Cherry (just the right amount of tang). Accompanied by cherry-infused takes on traditional tea favourites \u2013 sausage rolls, arancini, mini sandwiches, cheesecake and macarons \u2013 there\u2019s something for every taste bud.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" data-id=\"289546\" src=\"https:\/\/media.wonderlandmagazine.com\/uploads\/2026\/04\/MAURAxCOLA-INFLUENCERS_001228-800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"Coca-Cola Is Also Going Cherry This Summer\" class=\"wp-image-289546\"><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" data-id=\"289545\" src=\"https:\/\/media.wonderlandmagazine.com\/uploads\/2026\/04\/MAURAxCOLA-INFLUENCERS_000756-800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"Coca-Cola Is Also Going Cherry This Summer\" class=\"wp-image-289545\"><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" data-id=\"289547\" src=\"https:\/\/media.wonderlandmagazine.com\/uploads\/2026\/04\/MAURAxCOLA-INFLUENCERS_001266-800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"Coca-Cola Is Also Going Cherry This Summer\" class=\"wp-image-289547\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/media.wonderlandmagazine.com\/uploads\/2026\/04\/MAURAxCOLA-INFLUENCERS_000323-800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"Coca-Cola Is Also Going Cherry This Summer\" class=\"wp-image-289548\"><\/figure>\n<p>Upstairs, a few more rounds of games, Polaroids and photobooths await.
