Treat yourself to a coffee and a fresh baked good!

Coffee and bakery items are a classic combination that has been enjoyed for centuries. The rich and complex flavors of coffee pair perfectly with the sweet and savory flavors of bakery items, making them the perfect breakfast or snack. In this blog, we'll explore how to pair coffee with different types of bakery items for the perfect breakfast or snack.

Croissants & Coffee

Croissants are a classic bakery item that pairs perfectly with coffee. The buttery, flaky pastry of a croissant is the perfect complement to the rich, bold flavors of coffee. Pair your croissant with a medium to dark roast coffee, such as a French roast or Colombian roast, for a rich and flavorful combination. Try our Cannoli Stuffed Croissant, you won’t regret it!

Muffins & Coffee

Muffins are versatile bakery items that can be sweet or savory, making them a great pairing option for coffee. Pair a sweet muffin, such as a blueberry or chocolate chip muffin, with a medium roast coffee for a balanced and flavorful combination. If you prefer a savory muffin, such as a corn or cheese muffin, pair it with a light roast coffee to bring out the subtle flavors of the muffin. And when muffins aren’t an option go for the cupcakes. You can’t go wrong with cupcakes, especially our famous jumbo cupcakes. 

Donuts & Coffee

Donuts are a classic bakery item that pairs perfectly with coffee. The sweet, sugary flavors of a donut pair well with the bold, rich flavors of coffee. Pair a glazed or chocolate donut with a dark roast coffee, such as an Italian roast or Sumatra roast, for a bold and flavorful combination. We have many unique donuts for you to choose from. We are always exploring something new and changing it up. Stay tuned for our newest donut creation.



Macarons & Coffee

Pairing macarons and coffee can be a delightful experience, as the rich and complex flavors of coffee can complement the delicate sweetness of macarons. The bitterness of coffee can also help balance the sugary taste of the macarons, creating a harmonious flavor profile. Some coffee varieties, such as medium roast or espresso, are particularly well-suited for pairing with macarons due to their bold and intense flavors. However, it ultimately depends on personal taste preferences, as some people may prefer to pair their macarons with tea or a different type of beverage altogether.

Cinnamon Rolls & Coffee

Cinnamon rolls are a sweet, indulgent bakery item that pairs perfectly with coffee. The warm, spicy flavors of a cinnamon roll pair well with the rich, bold flavors of coffee. Pair a cinnamon roll with a dark roast coffee, such as a French roast or Espresso roast, for a bold and flavorful combination.
