Gloria Jean’s Coffees is starting the new year in the most flavorful way with unique beverage selections and seasonal whole beans inspired by decadent dessert favorites. Uniting the richness of red velvet cake with the caramel-like notes of butter rum, Gloria Jean’s new Red Velvet Butter Rum Latte & Chiller feature the captivating decadence of two classic desserts balanced with the depth of Gloria Jean’s signature espresso. Back by popular demand, the German Chocolate Cake Cold Brew debuted as a best seller last year. In addition, Gloria Jean’s welcomes the return of a few fan-favorite whole bean flavors, German Chocolate Cake and Red Velvet Cupcake.

“Just like every day should begin with a great cup of coffee, every year should start off with a fresh set of goals; and this year we’re raising the bar to offer our guests even more of the unique flavor combinations they crave,” says Sam Ferreira, president of Gloria Jean’s Coffees. “Gloria Jean’s is known for its wide variety of flavored whole beans, allowing us to provide delicious hot and cold brews unlike anything else out there; our German Chocolate Cake Cold Brew and Red Velvet creations are no exception.”
