Coffee and food are better together. But some combinations just work especially well. Whether you prefer a light, medium, or dark roast, the right food pairing can bring out the best in your cup.
Light Roast
Light roasts have a lighter finish and pair well with sweet and fruity foods.
Caddell Mountain Light Roast is a great choice with a Pop-Tart, muffin, or fruit pastry. The lighter flavor works well alongside these sweeter breakfast options.
Medium Roast
Medium roasts offer a balanced flavor that pairs well with just about anything.
Evans Curve Medium Roast, with notes of chocolate and caramel, pairs especially well with coffee cake, biscotti, muffins, croissants, and scones.
1863 Medium Roast is another good option for breakfast, especially alongside a breakfast sandwich or something sweet.
Dark Roast
Dark roasts have a bold, rich flavor that pairs well with heartier foods and chocolate.
Try Nine Stops Dark Roast with a chocolate pastry or breakfast sandwich. For espresso drinks, Dawson Dark 30 Espresso Roast brings bold, nutty flavors with notes of chocolate that pair well with something sweet.
