The Jeff’s Bagel Run Refreshers are the brand's foray into the burgeoning refresher-style beverage category as consumers gravitate towards fruit-focused, gently caffeinated coffee alternatives.
The drink range features three flavors including the Blueberry Dragonfruit, Watermelon Strawberry and Orange Mango, which are part of the brand's broader menu investment. This menu transformation includes handcrafted espresso drinks, seasonal specialty beverages, iced teas and more, which refine the drink options for existing fans but also newcomers.
The Jeff’s Bagel Run Refreshers does double duty in tapping into demand for alternatives amongst coffee drinkers, but also those who don't drink coffee. The lightly caffeinated, fruit-driven profile of the drinks make them suited for summertime enjoyment anytime of day to maximize appeal, especially amongst consumers looking to reduce their coffee or caffeine intake.
