Barista-Approved Milk Substitutes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Vita Coco Launches the 'Barista MLK' With Alfred Coffee

— January 31, 2023 — Lifestyle
The Vita Coco Company, Inc. announced the new ‘Vita Coco Barista MLK,’ available only through Alfred Coffee, a modern coffee chain based in Austin, Los Angeles, and Francisco. The company's non-dairy portfolio has been expanded thanks to the new gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and non-GMO offering.

‘Vita Coco Barista MLK’ can serve as a substitute for oat, almond, and soy milk options and is made from coconut water and coconut cream. As part of the collaboration, Vita Coco Barista MLK will be available on the menu at all Alfred Coffee locations for customers to add to their orders.

“We pride ourselves on listening to our customers and for years they have asked for coconut milk across our cafes, but it wasn’t until Vita Coco’s game-changing new Barista MLK that we felt confident enough in officially adding coconut milk to our menu. It tastes amazing, foams perfectly, and has the blessing of our baristas, and we can’t wait for our customers to try it in their go-to Alfred drinks,” said Josh Zad, Founder & CEO of Alfred.
