The Peet's Coffee Maple Waffle & Gouda Chicken Sandwich is the brand's fresh take on the classic America breakfast that incorporates a series of tasty accents in order to satisfy hungry consumers.

The sandwich is made with cage-free eggs and [seasoned chicken sausage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-waffles) that have been prepared to perfection before being paired with creamy, aged Gouda.

The [breakfast meal sandwich](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doublestack-egg-sandwich) features [maple buttermilk waffles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maple-butter-chicken-waffle) in place of bread in order to offer a hearty alternative that helps to support the ingredients well.

The limited-edition Peet's Coffee Maple Waffle & Gouda Chicken Sandwich is only available at a select number of the brand's coffee bars until August 31. The sandwich is inspired by breakfast, but can be purchased at any time of day at a cost of $4.95.
