Have your cake. Drink it too. October is Java Momma's birthday month, which around here has always meant one excuse to put cake in the coffee pot. It's personal on two counts — it's also THE Java Momma - Melissa's birthday, and we're marking nine years of doing this thing we love. So we did what we do best and turned actual birthday cake into a cup of coffee. Vanilla cake and buttercream icing flavor, folded into a medium roast that's easy to drink any day of the week, birthday or not. No candles to blow out, no dishes to do after — just a cup that tastes like celebration whenever you need one.

Birthday Cake Coffee returns every year during Java Momma's birthday month. This year's release also marks Java Momma's 9th year in business and Melissa's birthday — she's the reason any of this coffee exists in the first place. Nutritional Info Black coffee is essentially zero-calorie — what you add is your call. The flavoring in this coffee contains no sugar and no sweeteners. No added carbohydrates, naturally keto-friendly. No gluten added — Java Momma is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. How to Brew Use two level tablespoons of ground coffee per 8 oz of fresh, cold water. Brew as you normally would — drip, pour-over, or otherwise — and adjust the ratio to taste. If you're brewing the single-serve pods, they're compatible with Keurig® 1.0 and 2.0 machines — no measuring required. FAQ Frequently asked questions about Birthday Cake Coffee Is this coffee easy on the stomach? It tends to be, and there are a few reasons for that. We air-roast all of our coffee — air roasting circulates heat evenly around the bean rather than scorching it against a hot surface, which generally produces a smoother, gentler cup. We also use a Brazilian bean base, naturally lower in acidity thanks to the growing altitude and processing methods used there. Add a medium roast to the mix — longer roast time means less of the compounds that can irritate a sensitive stomach — and you've got a cup that tends to sit a lot easier than most. No guarantees, because everyone's different, but if coffee and your stomach have had a complicated relationship, this is a reasonable place to start. Do you offer a decaf version? Yes — Birthday Cake Coffee is available in decaf. Same flavor, same air-roasted process, without the caffeine. Our decaf uses the Mountain Water Process, which skips the harsh chemical solvents. All the flavor, none of the 2am regrets. What's the difference between the bag and the single-serve pods? Same coffee, different format. The bag gives you flexibility on grind and brew method. The single-serve pods are 12-count boxes compatible with Keurig® 1.0 and 2.0 machines — grab-and-go with no measuring required. Is this coffee keto-friendly? Yes — black coffee has zero sugar, zero sweeteners, and no added carbohydrates. The flavoring in this coffee adds no sugar either. Naturally keto-friendly as a factual spec, not a lifestyle claim. Does it taste sweet without adding sugar? Yes — the custom flavoring gives it a vanilla cake and buttercream icing character that reads as sweet without any added sugar or sweetener. Brew strength and what you add will shift how pronounced that is, but black out of the pot is genuinely good. Is Birthday Cake Coffee a limited release? Yes. This is a returning seasonal flavor, released once a year during Java Momma's birthday month. This year's batch also marks our 9th year in business, so it's a bit of a double celebration. What other coffees pair well with this one? If you're into flavored coffees that lean sweet, our other dessert-inspired roasts are worth a look. Our snack line is also a natural companion if you want something to go with your cup.
