Coffee Collective knows that people enjoy a bit of grub with their cup of joe and that’s why it's created a food-pairing menu that lists food that will specifically complement your chosen brew. Food-pairing menus already exist for many types of wine, so why not for your java? The menus change with the coffee flavors, and the foods are kept simple, so as not to distract from the coffee. The result is an engaging, but not overpowering, sensory experience for your taste buds.
The Coffee Collective team discuss its idea by saying, “The idea was to keep it as simple as possible. Three small dishes, each paired with a specific coffee as a combined experience. The dishes change along with our coffee menu, so new flavor combinations can be tested.” If you’re a coffee fan, try your next cup with a bite of a harmonizing snack.
