Coffee Ice Cream

White Chocolate-Cappuccino Cookies
These adorable cookies shaped like coffee cups don’t last long with my friends and family. For an even richer flavor, I use a mocha latte coffee mix. —Nancy Sousley, Lafayette, Indiana

Mocha Cake
Sea Salt Mint White Mocha Cookies
This recipe came from my mom’s Grandma Alice, who taught her how to bake. Grandma Alice always had a fresh plate of warm cookies on her counter. I learned some of her recipes by heart as a child, and I’ve been making these since high school. They taste like Christmas.—Kristin Bowers, Rancho Palos Verdes, California
Chocolate Cake with Coffee Frosting
I work evenings in the operating room at our local hospital. Since getting away for meals can be difficult, we occasionally plan potlucks. I’m often asked to bring the “chocolate cake with the special icing,” as everyone calls my chocolate cake with coffee frosting. —Irene Peery, Charlottesville, Virginia
Coffee Bean Bark
Chopped coffee beans add a yummy crunch to this pretty two-toned bark. Coffee lovers won’t be able to resist pieces of the chocolaty candy treat. —Anne Addesso, Sheboygan, Wisconsin
Coffee Maple Spritz
I like spritz cookies because they’re easier to make than rolled cutouts but I can still be creative with different shapes and sizes. Feel free to substitute vanilla or rum extract for the maple flavoring. —Dierdre Cox, Kansas City, Missouri
No-Bake Cappuccino Dessert
Summer gatherings call for cool coffee desserts like this one. Lots of the party invites I receive come with a request for this delicious treat. You can make it even more chocolaty by adding cocoa powder to the dry pudding mixes. —Mary Beth Desens, Fredonia, Wisconsin

Eisekaffee
You can probably guess that it means “iced coffee” in German, but it’s nothing like iced coffee in the States. The German version is more like a root beer float! In a glass cup, cold coffee is poured over a scoop of vanilla ice cream, then topped with whipped cream and even sprinkles. —Risa Lichtman, Portland, Oregon

The Italian word “tiramisu” means “pick-me-up” and refers to a dessert of ladyfinger sponge cake dipped in coffee, embracing mascarpone cheese. Work that in with cream cheese and you have a guaranteed picker-upper that redefines a classic. —Mrs. Priscilla Gilbert, Indian Harbour Beach, Florida

Mocha Truffle Cheesecake
I went through a phase when I couldn’t get enough cheesecake or coffee, so I created this rich dessert. Its brownie-like crust and creamy mocha layer really hit the spot. It’s ideal for get-togethers because it can be made in advance. —Shannon Dormady, Great Falls, Montana

I get compliments on this cake wherever I take it. It is very much an adult cake, with the hit of coffee and the warmth of the brown sugar and caramel.—Leigh Doutt, Pueblo West, Colorado

Spiced Cappuccino Kiss Cookies
Coffee desserts can also take the shape of a classic cookie. This recipe looks like a classic kiss cookie but has the coffee flavor many crave. —Cynthia Messenger, Mount Pleasant, South Carolina
BEST FOOD TO PAIR WITH INTENSE COFFEE
When it comes to caffeine, nothing beats a great espresso. It’s the foundation of a delicious and intense cup of coffee that allows you to taste specialty coffee beans, whether it’s an espresso shot, a macchiato, an americano or a classic drip coffee.
What makes a morning cup of coffee even better? A pastry, of course. We’ve collected a handful of recommendations to make your breakfast experience even better.
The Copenhagener, also known as Tebirkes in Denmark, is a Danish puff pastry filled with marzipan and topped with poppyseeds. Light and airy, this traditional Danish treat is perfect for any time of day.
For those who prefer a classic Croissant, we have those too! These laminated dough pastries go especially well with a quick shot of espresso or macchiato when you are on the go or looking for something delicious and quick when you’re in a rush.
If you are looking for something more filling, visit us a quick and healthy breakfast. We recommend our seasonal vegan overnight oats, made with chia seeds, coconut yogurt and fresh fruits. Another option would be our smoked salmon sandwich, made with cucumber, radish, watercress, shallot & chive cream cheese on a salt & pepper roll – a filling breakfast that goes well with a strong cup of black coffee.
CLASSIC MILK COFFEES AND DANISH PASTRIES
With our careful selection of coffee beans, blends and tasting notes there are almost endless possibilities to the very much-loved the black coffee. Here we talk about the classic milk coffee variants, choose a Latte, a Cappuccino, a Cortado or a Flat White if you want more flavor of coffee in your milk coffee.
Coffee with milk goes incredibly well with pastries or cakes, and here we have selected a few that we ourselves and our customers love to enjoy together.
Our Danish pastries are a great option to choose for when it comes to coffee foods, they are freshly baked throughout the day and each of our pastries are hand-crafted. Try our vanilla spandauer, a classic Danish puff pastry filled with vanilla custard, white icing and almonds, the spandauer also comes with raspberry and is filled with raspberry marmalade for a sweet and sour sensation. If you are looking for something sweet to go with your latte or your cortado try a Gateau Marcel which is a gluten-free chocolate cake filled with a silky, smooth chocolate mousse and is a perfect match for a coffee with milk.
SWIRLS, SOCIAL AND HOT DRINKS, A PERFECT MATCH
Hot chocolate is a winner both for kids and adults, the sweet drink keeps everybody happy and it’s a great option for cold days or cozy nights. A hot chocolate is also one of the best drinks to enjoy with something sweet or savering on the site, it just makes the experience so much better for everybody. Try it with our dark chocolate marshmallow puff with whipped marshmallow, dark chocolate and a marzipan base, because who doesn’t just love marshmallow and hot chocolate?
If you are more into tea – don’t worry we got you. We have always stock a huge variety of different tea tastes, whether you want a Sencha green tea, peppermint, lemon grass & ginger, a herb harmony tea or just a classic ear grey. If you are more of a tea connoisseur we also do nine spice fresh chai and honey tea, a chamellia chai spice and a favorite of ours; the matcha green tea latte.
Tea and cake is also a classic comb, and we would very much recommend to pair your tea of choice with our home-made and hand-crafted Danish pastries, like our Cinnamon Social™ which is a soft dough pastry with vanilla custard cinnamon filling and white icing, we also have this taste in a cinnamon swirl, you should also try our chocolate swirl with also is a Danish puff pastry with a shortcrust base, chocolate filling, and chocolate icing, the cake is very loved all around Scandinavia.

Our mission
To source, roast and serve remarkable coffees, learn continuously and foster community, to be good people and have fun.
About us
Founded in 2007 in Jacksonville, Florida, Bold Bean Coffee Roasters was started on the idea coffee can and should be inspirational. We believe that when done right, coffee should increase the quality of life for those consuming it and be sustainable for all of those in the production chain. We were first drawn to coffee by the idea of continuous learning and the never-ending quest for perfection and were further drawn to it when we realized its potential for making people happy.
Since the beginning, we have been focused on providing differentiated, specialty coffees and intentional service to Jacksonville and beyond. We focus on building relationships, throughout our supply chain which are highlighted by mutual respect and understanding as well as economic and environmental sustainability. This model of doing business allows us to source the best coffees available, roast them precisely and deliver them to our customers at the peak of freshness. We believe that great coffee can be experiential and, if approached properly, that it can be the catalyst for positive, local and cross-national change.
Now, more than ever, we are excited to be creating beautiful coffees for the bold hearted.

Simply the best coffee in Jersey City. Beans are roasted perfectly and consistently, with unique single origin options. Espresso shots are deftly pulled. Plenty of drink options that all let the taste of the coffee shine through. If you have been getting your coffee anywhere else, you’ve been missing out.
The smoothest cappuccino in all of jersey city! Always greeted by employees behind the counter with a warm greeting. They take time to make your coffee and not rush it. Always gonna get my coffee from here!
There are now a ton of coffee shops in the area and I spread my business around some as different places do different things better or I’ll just stop on my way past one or another, but today as I was drinking a latte from Rabble & Lion I realized that it is certainly my favorite one in the area.
One of the best monkey breads in my experience. I’m not a regular coffee drinker anymore, and I really liked my beverage—with oat milk. It’s a cool, small, efficient space with a crowd-pleasing selection of vinyls for sale, and growing. With windows, and facade facing South West direction, the late morning sunlight fills the space very beautifully.
My daughter and son-in-law live in Jersey City and are coffee aficionados. They know I love coffee and brought some for Thanksgiving. We just tried the Papua New Guinea and it is amazing. We have not tried the other two blends they brought with them to Boston but tomorrow morning should definitely be a treat. Much to give thanks for.
