To Go, Please

Taking coffee to go is nothing new, but coffee brands are finding new ways to make coffee on the go even more accessible. It seems every corner store, coffee shop, and grocery store is filled with bottled coffee and an increasingly diverse selection of brands are becoming available. The ready to drink coffee market is exploding, but there’s room for even more growth with consumer preferences leaning heavily toward cold coffee beverages.

La Colombe has expanded their brand presence beyond traditional brick and mortar cafes by bottling up draft lattes + cold brews. They even boast oatmilk lattes to keep up with the trending alternative milks. Besides being widely available on store shelves, they also offer a subscription service to ship their canned coffee beverages right to your door.

Smaller coffee brands are taking to the streets with a spin on the classic coffee cart + to-go packaging. About Time Coffee has popped up on the NYC streets with freshly canned coffee drinks. Leaning into the mobile-first mindset of Gen Z, they’ve modeled their business to be both convenient to order ahead and to take on the go. Their creative packaging also sparks interest and fosters organic marketing with customers showing off their packaging and experience on social media.
