Community Coffee- Family Owned 4th Generation
Back in 1900 on the north edge of Baton Rouge, a man named Cap Saurage enjoyed providing his neighbors and friends with their groceries as well as great coffee. This started over a century ago the brand “Community Coffee” as we know it today.
When they hit the year 1919, he had discovered a secret blend that was richer, bolder and smoother than any coffee around. He named his popular coffee “Community Coffee” to honor his friends and neighbors. It was a coffee for his community. I think this is such a great story, to know their family has a legacy in such a wonderful business.
Community Coffee has various blends of coffee in bags, K-Cups and even tea. They have a variety of ground coffee blends such as Holiday Jazz, Louisianna Blend, Ground Golden Caramel in the bag style and more. In the K-Cups you can get Southern Bread Pudding, Pumpkin Praline, House Blend, Cafe Special Blend and other flavors. Their tea comes in pods, tea bags as well as iced tea. So you can drink tea if you are not a coffee drinker.
Besides the great coffee (I love coffee), I am so impressed with their Military Match program. What is the Military Match Program? I am glad you asked.
