Introducing... Café Bars
“Danielle Boyce Batten, Director of Sales & Marketing for Cool Brew Coffee, and Adrian Simpson, founder of New Orleans Ice Cream, are allies in the NOLA coffee and ice cream assault on the nation.” – 89.9 WWNO
Two New Orleans brands, two old friends turn hot trend into cold treat with caffeinated kick.
A Café Bar starts with frozen coffee — not a coffee-flavored coating but actual, full-tilt cold brew coffee. Underneath, there's ice cream, with a stick for a handle.
It’s a dessert with a caffeinated kick. It also comes with a backstory of collaboration between two homegrown New Orleans brands and an unlikely business development path that's been more social than strategic.
The Café Bar is a packaged ice cream bar just now turning up in grocery store freezers. It’s from a newly formed company, American Cold Brew, though the ingredients are familiar.
The ice cream is from New Orleans Ice Cream Co., a company that has made ice cream flavors from classic New Orleans desserts (lemon doberge cake), cocktails (brandy milk punch) and even a former mayor’s faux pas (“Chocolate City”).
