These new Community Coffee dessert-inspired coffee flavors have been added to the brand's permanent product portfolio as a series of flavored coffees that draw inspiration from some bakery classics. The coffees come in two medium roast flavors including Cinnamon Roll and Chocolate Lava Cake, which are both free from added sugar and sweeteners to give them a permissible nutritional profile.
The Cinnamon Roll-flavored coffee features notes of spiced cinnamon and icing in every sip, while the Chocolate Lava Cake variety has semisweet and dark chocolate tasting notes. The ground coffees are each made with a blend of South and Central American coffee beans, and are also allergen-free.
Chief Commercial Officer Kristi Crump commented on the Community Coffee dessert-inspired coffee flavors saying, "Chocolate Lava Cake and Cinnamon Roll are completely new to our lineup and are a direct result of customer feedback. They wanted the warmth and indulgence of their favourite bakery treats in every cup, so we created these 'from scratch' flavors to deliver that cozy feeling to their morning ritual."
