What can I offer with coffee rather than cakes and biscuits?

I have good friends who come and have coffee at my home because they know my deafness makes it difficult for me to follow conversations in cafes etc. because of the background noise. I’m very grateful for this and always try to offer nice cake or biscuits with the coffee. However more and more of my friends are having to eschew such things due to diabetes, heart disease etc. what can I offer instead? I’d like it to feel like a bit of a treat. Any suggestions?

Baggs*. But one biscuit leads to two and before you know it you have eaten the packet. Best not to start 😀

How about a nice fruit platter?

Do you need to offer anything?
Can’t “come for a coffee” mean just that?

It depends what you mean by a ‘nice coffee’ Basgetti. What did you have in mind?

I didn’t say nice coffee?

Sorry Basgetti, I seem to be having a confused morning.

Personally I love the Cornish Cruncher cheese biscuits (not biscuits for cheese) from M&S. There aren’t nearly enough in a packet, though!
