You can still buy them!!!! Hooray!!!!

Yes ParlorGames they were iced gems, I remember now.

Yay! They are Cafe Noir and you are right Juliet 27, they were oblong. Memories may vary! Ha! Ha!

My eldest D as a toddler used to host tea parties under the table for her teddy and panda (known as Monium-say it out loud) with Iced Gems on her toy tea-set. Not coffee flavoured though as I remember.
They were - and 45years later still are- known as Teddy- Momo biscuits.
Sadly the colour of the icing is now much paler - presumably down to E numbers.

I love Cafe noir biscuits. Chatting is all very well but it isn't getting the iced ginger shortbread made.
Must get on.

Calendargirl

The only ones I can think of were very small, round ones, about the size of a one penny piece, with a chunk of hard icing on the top. Caramel coloured icing, not sure if it was coffee flavour.

No idea of the name though.

I think the biscuits you are describing Calendargirl were Iced Gems, but I could be wrong.

That donut shaped biscuit looks as though it has coffee icing. I’m a Bourbon biscuit and I’ve never liked them

Cafe Noir biscuits.. oblong..yummy!!

Sorry, I don’t think that link works.
Here it is instead

Whilst carrying out my research into this important matter, I found this.
I’m on the cusp of Garibaldi and Pink Wafer!

I remember a biscuit from the past with coffee icing but it was an oblong shape.
