LA Coffee Shop Go Get Em Tiger Serves the Famous Biscuits From Ted Lasso This Week

Ted Lasso’s second season comes out on July 23, and local cafe Go Get Em Tiger has officially collaborated with Apple TV+ to give away cookies, also known as biscuits, this week, plus free coffee only beginning at 10 a.m. From today until Friday, customers at GGET’s Santa Monica, Larchmont, Los Feliz, and Culver City locations will get a pink box of three free biscuits with their order, and if using Apple Pay, all coffee and tea drinks are $1 (sorry Android users).

Also, to help pick up some steam, the biscuits, coffee, and tea are completely free for July 19 (today only) until close. The shortbread cookies were developed by GGET’s culinary team and will be placed in the same pink box as appears on the show. Those who didn’t watch Ted Lasso will have to catch up on one of the funniest and most endearing television shows of the past year to understand what the big deal about those biscuits, er, cookies, are all about. Ted Lasso stars Jason Sudekis as the namesake soccer, er, football coach, and Hannah Waddington as the team owner Rebecca.
