Sumatra with vegan egg bites

June 6, 2018 by jocelyn 1 Comment

Vegan egg bites paired with Sumatra

One of the best parts about transferring to a new store, is meeting so many new partners! There are two things people love to do together; laugh and eat, so many of my “ice breaker” conversations are around food. I have found out that my new store has a lot of partners who are vegan! This is very new to me, and I am not actually sure I have ever worked with a vegan partner before.

I love to cook (obviously) and I love to bring food in to share at work, but I don’t want to leave anyone out, as I have been working on new ideas to delight my vegan partners.

Girl Scout cookies & coffee pairings

Starbucks = Girl Scout cookies

 

It’s cookie season, and I have been seeing posts on facebook about pairing wine with Girl Scout cookies (which is always a good idea!) I did a search for Girl Scout cookies and Starbucks coffees, and was surprised to see that no one had made up a tasting sheet!

Sumatra with maple bacon cornbread muffins

February 8, 2017 by jocelyn Leave a Comment

Starbucks single origin SumatraA few weeks ago we were talking about our favorite coffees, and my favorite Starbucks core coffee is (usually) Sumatra.

I remember when I was a new barista, drinking Sumatra for the first time paired with a maple scone and cheddar cheese, and I was blown away how this coffee paired with sweet and savory. Sumatra is earthy, and herbal and can balance so many different flavors. Maple, cheese, toffee, cinnamon and even mushrooms.

I wanted to take this early memory of Sumatra and a maple scone and reinvent it into something new. The addition of bacon not only compliments the maple, but lends a more savory quality. Bacon and Sumatra are a match made in heaven. <3

Theo chocolate tasting

Theo chocolates + Starbucks

Theo chocolates + Starbucks

Theo chocolate is based in Seattle’s Fremont district. They make the most incredible chocolates! Starbucks was testing Theo peanut butter cups in select stores, and my friend Melody went to Theo chocolate to get an up close and personal tour. During her tour, she sent me a message, saying she needed my address “right now”. I sent it along, and a few days later, a huge box of chocolates was on my doorstep, compliments of Theo chocolate. Thank you Theo chocolate & Melody! I put together a coffee tasting with the seven chocolates I was sent (actually, there is one missing because I had to taste test it 🙂 )…

#coffeedidyouknow

Just smelling coffee can wake you up. The aroma of coffee can alter the activity of some genes in the brain, reducing the effects of sleep deprivation. And when you do drink that cup of coffee, caffeine reaches your blood quickly.
