Perfect Pairings: What Goes Best with Coffee at Your Event
Coffee is more than just a beverage—it’s a moment, an experience, a vibe. Whether you’re sipping a creamy latte, bold espresso, or a smooth cold brew, the right pairing can take your coffee to the next level.
At Summit Sips, we know that the perfect cup of coffee deserves an equally perfect companion. Whether you’re planning a wedding, shower, graduation party, or corporate event in Boise, here’s what we love to pair with coffee to create an unforgettable guest experience.
1. Sweet Treats & Pastries
Let’s start with the classics—because nothing pairs with a latte quite like a buttery croissant or a fresh-baked donut.
Here are a few crowd favorites:
Cinnamon rolls
Mini muffins
Biscotti or shortbread
Scones with jam or glaze
Chocolate-dipped cookies
Coffee and pastries just make sense—it’s a timeless pairing that your guests will always love.
2. Breakfast Bites
Hosting a morning wedding, brunch shower, or early meeting? Elevate your event with light breakfast options alongside your coffee cart.
Try pairing:
Mini quiches
Bagels + cream cheese
Fruit parfait cups
Yogurt and granola bars
These options balance out the coffee beautifully while keeping your guests energized and satisfied.
3. Savory Snacks
Coffee isn’t just for sweet pairings! A bold cup of coffee or iced espresso pairs surprisingly well with something salty or savory.
Some tasty combos include:
Cheese boards or charcuterie
Savory croissants (like ham + cheese)
Herbed crackers or focaccia bites
This kind of spread makes a great impression for corporate events or elevated gatherings where you want to serve something a little more unique.
4. Dessert Bars
A coffee cart + dessert bar? Now that’s a match made in heaven.
We love seeing guests sip their espresso while grabbing:
Mini cupcakes
Macarons
Chocolate-covered espresso beans
Cake pops
Tiramisu shots
Pairing coffee with decadent desserts makes your event feel extra special—and totally photo-worthy.
5. Signature Coffee Pairings
Want to wow your guests? Let’s create a custom signature menu with pairing suggestions for each drink!
Imagine:
A vanilla latte paired with lemon shortbread
A cold brew paired with caramel brownies
A matcha latte paired with white chocolate raspberry scones
At Summit Sips, we love curating thoughtful, personalized coffee moments that feel just right for your celebration.
