Costa Coffee is facing backlash for charging more for drinks at hospital cafes compared to stores on the high street (pictured: Costa coffee in Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital).

It comes after Pret A Manger scrapped plans to double the cost of their £5 monthly subscription for up to five coffees a day - and fans could not be happier (stock photo).

The popular coffee chain was found to surge prices by five per cent on certain items (stock image).

It followed Pret overhauling its £360-a-year subscription in July last year in favour of 50 per cent off up to five coffees a day for £10 a month.
