Probably best served with black coffee, but if you’re feeling super-induldget, it will go well with coffee and cream too!

2. Cinnamon Rolls

Warm, gooey, and sweet with a hint of spice—cinnamon rolls are the comfort food of baked goods, I’m sure you will agree! Not only that, but they are so easy to bake and they go great with coffee too. The spicy, woodsy flavor of cinnamon has long been known to enhance the flavor of coffee, bringing out its natural sweet notes, which is why so many people add it to their cup, but if you’re feeling naughty, having some on the side in the form of a sticky cinnamon bun will have much the same effect.

3. Chocolate Chip Scones

Chocolate and coffee are truly a match made in heaven, so it’s no surprise that chocolate chip muffins are one of the most popular sweet treats to eat alongside your afternoon cup of coffee. The key is to use dark chocolate chips which are more decadent and which can stand up to the strong coffee flavor better than milk chocolate chips, but other than that, you can use your regular recipe and it should work out just fine.

 Biscotti and coffee are like the dynamic duo of the baked world. These twice-baked Italian cookies are crunchy and perfect for dipping into your hot brew because they will not turn your cup into a crumbly mess.

5. Blueberry Muffins

The tartness of blueberries combined with the sweetness of the muffin creates a flavor bomb that will tickle your tastebuds in all of the right ways.
