At Cupsmith, we know that the right food pairing can take your coffee experience to a whole new level. There’s a special magic in the way flavours complement and enhance each other, and discovering a perfect match is nothing short of bliss. Whether you’re a breakfast lover, a dessert enthusiast, or both, we’ve got a guide to help you pair your favourite coffees with the right foods to turn each sip and bite into a symphony of taste.
1. Breakfast Pairings
Mornings deserve a coffee that sets the tone for your day. Pairing the right coffee with breakfast can elevate your routine into a moment you’ll look forward to.
-
All Day Coffee with a Flaky Croissant
Our lighter and brighter All Day Coffee is perfect alongside a buttery croissant. The coffee’s gentle acidity cuts through the richness, while the subtle nutty notes complement the layers of pastry.
-
Bang-On Espresso with a Full English Breakfast
For heartier mornings, a bold espresso is your best friend. The robust, punchy flavour pairs beautifully with savory elements like sausages and eggs, rounding out every mouthful with depth and warmth.
-
Morning Blend Coffee with Avocado Toast
Got a soft spot for avocado toast? Our Morning Blend Coffee brings out the creamy earthiness of avocado with its smooth, slightly sweet undertones. Add a sprinkle of chilli flakes to your toast for an extra pop!
2. Dessert Pairings
Coffee and dessert are a classic duo, and playing with pairings is half the fun. Whether you lean towards chocolatey treats or fruity creations, there’s a coffee to match.
-
Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate with Brownies
Okay, this isn’t strictly coffee, but we had to include it. Imagine the luxurious sweetness of our Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate mingling with the dense richness of a chocolate brownie. Heaven, right?
-
Decaf Espresso with Cheesecake
A slice of velvety cheesecake paired with a decaf espresso creates the perfect balance of creamy and crisp. The roasted notes of the espresso complement the mild tanginess of the cheesecake.
-
After Dark Roast Coffee with Tiramisu
Our After Dark Roast Coffee and tiramisu are a match made in dessert heaven. The bold, chocolatey undertones of the coffee merge with the delicate, coffee-soaked sponge layers in tiramisu. Double the coffee, double the joy!
Experiment, Explore, Enjoy!
The beauty of coffee and food pairings is that there’s no wrong answer. Start with these simple suggestions, and then have fun experimenting with your own. Maybe you’ll find that a frothy cappuccino brings out the best in your slice of apple pie, or that a flat white is the ideal partner for a stack of pancakes.
At Cupsmith, we’re all about those little moments of joy that make life special. Grab your favourite cup, try a new pairing, and savour the magic of the perfect match. Cheers to your next culinary adventure!
Warmly,
Emma & George
