Whether you drink coffee first thing in the morning, are an afternoon drinker, or you’re a three cups kind of person, it’s nice to pair the beverage with a delicious snack. Coffee doesn’t taste amazing with all food, but these five snacks are a match made in heaven. Are you ready for your Cup of Joe?

Chocolate

This one should come as no surprise as mocha is one of the most delicious flavors in the world. Milk, dark, white—all chocolate tastes amazing when dunked into the coffee.

Pastries

If you’re looking for a quick breakfast, coffees and pastries will do the trick. There are tons to choose between and the buttery taste complements coffee perfectly.

Cheese

When you think of pairings for cheese, usually wine is the first choice, but coffee also tastes great with it. In Scandinavia, it’s a traditional combination and they have Kaffeost, which is coffee with cheese cubes added to it.

Donuts

Another classic, coffee and donuts are what keeps chains like Krispy Kreme and Dunkin’ open. Coffee cuts down on the sweetness and donuts taste delicious dunked into the drink.

Cake

Most coffee shops will have tons of cakes to choose between that you can enjoy alongside your cup of coffee. Don’t be afraid to venture out from chocolate or pound cakes and to try carrot or lemon cakes.
