Enjoy it black, or add cream to bring out the buttery, fresh-baked flavor.

SUPPORTS MENTAL HEALTH

Side Quest – Cinnamon Bun tastes a little like the gooey center of a warm cinnamon roll found its way into your coffee. You know—the part everyone fights over.

It’s part of our Side Quest flavored series, where we take great coffee and add thoughtfully chosen flavors meant to complement the cup, not bury it. This one layers warm cinnamon, buttery baked-good flavor, and a touch of sweet icing character over smooth, carefully roasted coffee for a cup that feels suspiciously close to a trip to the bakery.

Think a cinnamon bun fresh from the oven: soft, buttery dough wrapped around ribbons of cinnamon, with that warm brown-sugar richness and vanilla icing melting into every crevice. Those familiar bakery flavors settle right into the coffee without covering up the coffee underneath.

Flavor-wise, expect warm cinnamon, brown sugar, buttery pastry, and a touch of vanilla icing over a smooth coffee finish.

Drink it black and the cinnamon-bun notes come through as aroma and flavor—not added sweetness—so you get all that bakery goodness without actually adding sugar to your cup.

Add a little cream and this one really shows off. The cream brings out the buttery pastry and vanilla-icing notes, rounding out the cinnamon and making the whole cup taste even more like the soft center of a cinnamon bun.

Whether you’re already firmly on Team Flavored Coffee or just looking for an excuse to wander away from your usual cup, Side Quest is your permission slip to take the scenic route.

Achievement unlocked: called dibs on the middle one.

This coffee is roasted in small batches and sent right to you, so it’s fresh. Our air-roasting method removes the chaff before it can burn, which is why our coffee comes out smooth and flavorful, never bitter. And because we believe mental health matters, a portion of every purchase helps support mental health nonprofits.

Coffee That Gives Back

Why Our Coffee Is So Smooth

We use an electric fluid-bed (air) roasting process that lifts and roasts the beans on a stream of hot air instead of tumbling them in a hot metal drum.  

During the roast, the chaff naturally separates and is removed before it can add harsh notes to the coffee.  This helps prevent bitter, smoky flavors and keeps the cup clean and smooth. 

Every batch is roasted hands-on by our founder and roaster Adam, who oversees the process from start to finish - from weighing the green coffee to dialing in the roast profile to cooling and packaging the final beans. Nothing is automated, rushed, or outsourced.  Each batch gets the time, attention, and care it deserves.  

 

What this means for you in your cup:

 

Cleaner flavor with less bitterness

Even, consistent roasting

Clearer tasting notes

Small-batch, hands-on quality

Smooth, balanced coffee - never harsh.
