The Caribou Coffee winter menu is the brand's latest upcoming lineup of refreshments that embrace the cold weather season with a decidedly different flavor profile.
The menu puts two new drink options in the spotlight including the Cinnamon Sugar Nitro High Rise and the Cinnamon Sugar Cold Foam, which are complemented by returning options like a latte, mocha and Espresso Shaker. The brand will also introduce new Breakfast Bowls to offer functional nutrition benefits with flavor, and come in two varieties including the Denver Breakfast Bowl and the Vegetarian Breakfast Bowl.
Director of Product Carrie Sazama spoke on the upcoming Caribou Coffee winter menu saying, "As guests settle into their routines after the holidays, we wanted to create a menu that brings together comfort, balance and a little everyday joy. Our new Breakfast Bowls offer a flavorful and nutritious option guests can feel good about, and when combined with the return of our Cinnamon Sugar lineup and new everyday value offerings, it’s a winter menu designed to meet guests where they are.”
