Pastries and coffee are a match made in heaven as coffee provides a palate cleanser between sweets. That’s why most coffee shops sell little baked treats. If you enjoy something to chew on while drinking a nice latte or need something to dip into the drink, here are the best pastries to order with a side of coffee.
Croissants
Flaky and buttery, croissants are a classic coffee-side treat. You can get a butter croissant if you don’t want sweetness or a sweet flavor like chocolate or almond. If you like to dip, croissants pair especially well with milky hot coffee like a latte or cappuccino.
Cookies
Cookies are the best option for dippers. The best one is biscotti because it is crunchy, and soaking it in coffee will give it just the right softness. It’s also perfectly shaped for dipping. But, this principle applies to any other cookie too.
Coffee Cake
This cinnamon-crusted yellow cake pairs so well with coffee that it is even named for the drink. Coffee cake in Britain is actually coffee-flavored, and this is its original form. However, over time in America, the recipe evolved to become the perfect cake to eat with coffee. So it is tailor-made for this purpose. This treat will go well with any coffee, hot or cold.
