Fall is the peak season for all things cozy, crisp air, and gathering with the people you love. Whether you're hosting a slow brunch at home or planning a backyard bonfire, here's what we know to be true: coffee should be part of the experience. And not just any coffee... freshly roasted, full of flavor, and paired perfectly with your favorite fall bites.

Here are 6 cozy coffee and food pairings that’ll warm you and your guests from the inside out:

1. Bold Roast + Cinnamon Rolls

There’s something magical about the contrast of a bold, dark roast and sweet, gooey cinnamon rolls. The deep chocolatey notes of our dark roasts cut through the richness of icing and spice, making each bite even better.

Hosting Tip: Bake the rolls the night before and warm them just before serving. Pair with a carafe of hot coffee on the table and let the cozy magic happen.

2. Leaf Me Be + Spiced Pumpkin Muffins

This tropical twist on a fall classic brings out the best of both worlds: warm pumpkin spice and bright, fruity coffee. Our Leaf Me Be seasonal coffee has notes of bergamot, tropical fruit, and milk chocolate... pairing perfectly with anything pumpkin-forward.

Hosting Tip: Serve with warm muffins and a drizzle of maple glaze for an unforgettable fall brunch moment.

3. Medium Roast + Apple Galette (or try it decaf)

A juicy apple galette or pie with buttery crust deserves a smooth medium roast with bright acidity and subtle citrus notes like our Guatemalan Las Lomas.

Want to keep the caffeine low but flavor high? Our Organic Honey Process Decaf brings subtle notes of honey, citrus, and malt for a rich, satisfying cup... perfect for late afternoon hangouts or dessert by the fire.

Flavor Hack: Add a cinnamon stick to your French press or drip brewer for a subtle fall twist in your cup.

4. Espresso Shot + Dark Chocolate Squares

After dinner around the bonfire? Keep things simple with an espresso shot (or small cup of strongly brewed coffee) served alongside a few pieces of high-quality dark chocolate.

It’s rich and satisfying with just enough energy to keep the conversation going.

5. Light Roast + Savory Quiche or Frittata

Brunch wouldn’t be brunch without eggs. Pair your favorite frittata, veggie quiche, or breakfast casserole with a clean, floral-forward light roast that won’t overpower the meal.

Our Ethiopian Yirgacheffe is subtle but balanced, perfect for a lighter touch.

6. Sol de Otoño + Caramel Apple Tart

Think fall leaves, cozy sweaters, and a caramel apple tart fresh from the oven. Our Sol de Otoño seasonal coffee brings sweet notes of red berries, caramel, white chocolate, and raisins that sing alongside rich, fruity desserts.

How to Serve: Try a manual brew (like pour over or Chemex) to bring out the delicate sweetness. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for extra cozy points.

Bonus Hosting Tips:

• Keep it simple: Brew coffee in batches and serve in thermal carafes so guests can help themselves.

• Use real mugs: It feels more inviting than disposable cups and looks better on the table.

• Make it cozy: Add a little playlist, a fall-scented candle, and you’re good to go.
