Cinnamon Swirl and Iced Coffee

A summertime twist on the well-loved coffee and pastry combo, pairing a sweet Cinnamon Swirl with a refreshing iced coffee makes total sense. The slightly bitter notes of the chilled coffee cut through the richness of the cinnamon swirl to create a cool, bold, and just sweet enough morning duo.   

Apple Crown and Strawberry Lemonade

For a vibrant summer pairing with fruity zest, match a tangy strawberry lemonade with a flaky Apple Crown filled with visible fruit pieces. The tart flavour of the apple pops against the lemonade’s citrusy zip for a double sweet surprise perfect for sun-soaked brunches.  

Almond Croissant and Peach Iced Tea

Peach iced tea and an Almond Croissant make a sophisticated and satisfying pair. The peach iced tea brings juicy, floral sweetness with a refreshing chill, ideal for balancing the richness of the croissant. Light, indulgent, and effortlessly elegant – a match made in pastry heaven. 

Pain Raisin and Iced Matcha Latte

Packed with antioxidants to support brain and heart health, as well as metabolism, an Iced Matcha Latte is the ultimate way to kick start the day. Pair it up with a Pain Raisin filled with plump and delicious raisins for a well-balanced and unexpected pairing.
