You know how you find yourself down a rabbit hole on Pinterest – — well that is where I went the other day. I am having company for dinner and I love to serve coffee after the meal or with dessert. I stumbled across this fabulous post sharing how to make Homemade Coffee Syrups. Well, I already have some that I usually just set out, then I thought why not create a small Dessert Coffee Bar in my kitchen.
We make old fashioned coffee in a pot and drink the whole thing in the morning. I also love to brew some specialty blends in the evening as kind of a dessert coffee. I love coffee, hot or cold. In the morning I am a plain black coffee person. No sugar or cream, but in the evening – well that’s another whole story. Sometimes I just want a hot cup of coffee with sugar and cream. Then there are times when I want a nice Coffee-Kahlua-Cream, or maybe a Coffee-Amaretta-Cream. Sometimes with dessert I really like a nice cold coffee with mocha or caramel and whipped cream. They’re all wonderful and make a really great treat.
See those wonderful syrups – can you see that they are 0 calorie and 0 sugar.
I had a small marble tray so I pulled it out and arranged my syrups and a sugar and creamer next to the coffee pot.
I just had to treat myself to a really nice big mug of cold coffee with mocha and whipped cream. Now that is a fabulous afternoon snack that I think I will repeat often.
This is the post that got me running down that rabbit hole. These flavors all sound delicious, I think when the ones I have are gone, then I will make my own.
This may just stay out on my counter for good. I think the Holidays will be the perfect time to enjoy some great coffee anytime.
How about you, do you like flavored coffee? Create your own Dessert Coffee Bar.
I found my syrups at Home Goods in their gourmet section, but they are all available on Amazon. You can buy just one flavor or a whole assortment package. I’ve listed a few for you to check out.

Very cool idea
Wow! I like that a lot. where did you get your coffee maker? does it make fancy coffees?
Thanks, my coffee maker is a Cuisinart. I added a link to it at the bottom of my post. It is just a regular coffee maker, I can make different coffees if they are flavored beans or grinds. Other than that, you have to add the flavors to regular coffee.
You just inspired me to set up a coffee station, with the flavored syrups.
I have seen other bloggers who have set too.
Must say I like the way you have not gone overboard with it.
Here in Seattle coffee is a big thing!!! Here at our home it’s
hubby and I, he prefers black and I love a flavor.
Anyway thanks for giving me an idea.
Happy Autumn.
I see you love coffee too. Only recently did I discover my favorite treat has a name “Affogato” Coffee over ice cream. Sometimes I put the ‘fancy cookie” in.
Love this idea Marty. I was in Home Goods yesterday and saw these.
Enjoy your Sunday

Marty, what a lovely idea! Gonna do it!
