I have a great product review to share with you today — one that was entirely new to me before this week, and of which I became an immediate fan. If you’re a coffee lover like I am, I’m confident that CoffeeBars will be right up your caffeinated alley.
CoffeeBars are aptly named, given that each one of these all-natural bars contains a full cup of coffee. Created by two college students during their first year of college (I wish I had been doing something as cool at that time in my life!), they’re 100% organic, gluten-free, non-GMO and vegan, and available to ship worldwide.
The deets

My personal review
I realllllly like them and was super impressed, and would absolutely buy these on the regular. I tried each of the 3 flavors they offer: Coconut Mocha, Mocha Latte, and Caramel Macchiato. As a big coconut fan, that was my hard favorite, followed by mocha and then caramel (to be expected, as I’ve never been a caramel girl — but I didn’t mind it as much in this form, as it’s not the gooey kind), and I really liked the consistency of the bars and the fact that they actually taste like coffee! (Side note: the first ingredient in them is dates, which is the same as Larabars.) As one who loves the flavor of coffee and can happily munch dark chocolate espresso beans, these bars were a hit for me. They’re not sweet, despite the cocoa nibs that add a nice little punch, and they’re so different than any other bars I’ve had, in a good way. I can see myself wanting these on the regular.
I also love to support companies with a social justice component in their business plan, so that holds great appeal for me as well. Check out their “Locations” map on their site to see if they sell these bars anywhere near you, or order right from their site or on Amazon.
DISCOUNT: New Grounds Food has also been so kind as to offer all RTA readers a 15% discount on all orders made from their site! Use the code RUNTHISAPPLE at checkout.
Happy coffee noshing!

That’s such a cool product! Those bars seem fab! xx
Definitely worth trying if you’re a coffee fan!
Awesome review. Can’t wait to find these!
Thank you! I’m really impressed with them.
I love that people are utilizing dates in so many creative ways! I find them hard to cook with myself but when manufacturers use them I’m all in! These look really really good! Perfect for the afternoon when I want another cup of coffee but don’t need the comfort of a cup (I love a good cup of coffee in the morning…the ritual more than anything!)
i love the ritual of a cup of coffee in the morning, too — so soothing and warm and all things right in the world. especially when it’s early and i’m upstate on the lake. mmmm. i stay away from coffee in the afternoon but i agree, these bars could serve as good late-in-the-day pick-me-ups!
UHHH I need these in my life…STAT.
these would be right up your alley, my lovely coffee friend!
