Italian Dessert Coffees

Caribou Coffee's New Creme Brulee Boudino is a Sweet, Seasonal Treat

— August 30, 2016 — Lifestyle
While Caribou Coffee is following the lead of other coffee shops and bringing back its Pumpkin Pie Latte for the fall season, the chain is also shaking things up with the addition of the brand new Creme Brulee Boudino.

The Creme Brulee Boudino is a seasonal espresso-based drink that is inspired by an Italian pudding called 'boudino.' The drink itself consists of espresso and steamed milk, mixed with caramel and vanilla. The drink is then topped with whipped cream, caramel sauce and a sugar-salt blend. To complement the temperamental fall weather, the drink will be available in hot, iced and Cooler versions.

The addition of the Creme Brulee Boudino to the Caribou Coffee menu gives consumers an alternative to the many pumpkin-themed drinks available from other chains this time of year.
Trend Themes
1. Seasonal Espresso-based Drinks - Providing creative, seasonal espresso-based drinks that make for a unique twist offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for coffee chains.
2. Italian-inspired Coffee Drinks - Creating Italian-inspired coffee drinks with seasonal twists presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for coffee chains looking to differentiate themselves from competitors.
3. Alternative Seasonal Coffee Offerings - Offering alternative seasonal coffee options beyond the traditional pumpkin spice latte presents disruptive innovation opportunities for coffee chains to appeal to a wider range of customers.
Industry Implications
1. Coffee Shops - Coffee chains can differentiate from competitors and attract customers by offering creative, seasonal, and Italian-inspired drinks beyond the usual pumpkin spice latte.
2. Food and Beverage - In the food and beverage industry, seasonal and Italian-inspired coffee drinks present a disruptive innovation opportunity to differentiate and provide unique flavor experiences.
3. Hospitality Industry - Providing unique and enticing seasonal coffee drinks can differentiate and create new experiences for customers in the hospitality industry, such as hotels and resorts.
