☕Serving Tips and Tricks

Create a Coffeehouse Experience at Home. Serve drinks in real mugs, and pair each drink with a small treat. It instantly makes everything feel special.

Balance Flavors Like a Café. Pair sweet drinks with less-sweet treats and vice versa. For example a caramel mocha pairs perfectly with an orange scone.

Use Garnishes for a Finishing Touch. Whipped cream and powdered sugar go a long way in making drinks and treats look fresh and inviting.

Build a Coffee Bar Setup. Serve simple hot brewed coffee but set out fun mugs and homemade french vanilla coffee creamer, sweeteners, and treats.

Think Seasonal Pairings.

  • Fall: Pumpkin cream cheese muffins with apple crisp macchiato
  • Winter: Flourless chocolate cookies with mocha latte
  • Spring: Lemon loaf with brown sugar latte
