I spent some time on their company website learning about the company, and seeing where they were located. After checking out their 'about' page I clicked on the location page and I fell in love with the Winter Park, Florida location photo. It reminded me of a cafe in Italy and as odd as it sounds, I love the front door and it makes me want to walk right in and visit. The next time I am in Winter Park, I totally intend to do just that.
Today I bought Santa's White Christmas as well as the Barnie's Blend coffee. I will be reviewing Barnie's blend next but today is focused on the flavored coffee blend.

I find their description to be right on target. I can taste all the flavors they mention and it is indeed a very smooth, light coffee. I don't like my coffee watery or too light so I brewed mine at the middle setting on my Keurig - which is 8 oz. I can also see myself brewing it on the smaller 6 oz. setting too - and I think by doing so I'll get more of a true 'coffee shop' flavor as shops tend to have a bolder, stronger taste compared to when you blend the same coffee at home.
I am thrilled with this coffee and that is saying something because if you read COFFEE TALKING regularly or were a reader from 2004-2009 when it was a "Mom Blog" you know I don't really crave flavored coffee. I like my caffeine in liquid form; strong, extremely hot and black. But when Autumn is in the air or winter has arrived, I will crave a flavored brew... and this one fits the bill.
I have never found this coffee near me in stores before (either up North, in the Midwest or in the last three years I've lived in the deep South.) However, today I found it at my local Publix. If you do not have a Publix near you or yours does not carry it and you would like to try it, I checked and found it on Amazon so you can order it (or any of their many flavors or different styles) online!
