Beans & Brews Coffeehouse is making its menu "pop" with the addition of new Popping Pearls Strawberry Flavored Jellies.
Designed to give consumers more ways to customize their favorite drinks (especially cold, non-coffee drinks), the new strawberry-flavored Popping Pearls play on the rising popularity of boba and jelly drinks. As Sarah Anderson, Vice President of Operations for Beans & Brews, explains, “Popping Pearls is a fast-growing flavor addition that helps us deliver on the broader demand for beverages outside of coffee... By adding Popping Pearls, we attract new and non-coffee drinking guests at all times of the day, offering a tasty way to enhance any drink."
The new Popping Pearls Strawberry Flavored Jellies can be added to the brand's popular lineup of B&B Energy Drinks from now onwards.
