DALLAS, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Corner Bakery Cafe is rolling out an elevated coffee program through a new partnership with Java City, bringing carefully sourced specialty coffee to participating cafes. 

Like Corner Bakery, Java City began as a neighborhood corner cafe built around quality, hospitality, and the belief that great food and beverages can bring people together. That shared heritage made the partnership a natural fit as Corner Bakery continues enhancing the guest experience. 

The new lineup features four coffee options: Baker’s Blend, Hazelnut Cream, Cafe Europa and Italian Roast Decaf, offering guests a range of medium to dark roast profiles, balanced flavor notes and decaf options. Each roast was selected to complement Corner Bakery’s morning favorites, from muffins and cinnamon rolls to bagels with cream cheese and bacon and egg croissants.

“Coffee has always been an important part of the Corner Bakery experience, so we wanted to make sure this next chapter was done with care,” said Erin Hasselgren, president at Corner Bakery Cafe. “Over the past year, we worked closely with Java City to source beans from Central America, South America and Mexico and refine the roast at their Sacramento facility. The result is a coffee program that brings better quality, stronger sourcing and great flavor to our cafes.” 

“What made this partnership special was the shared commitment to getting the coffee right,” said Pete Rogers, owner of Java City. “From sourcing beans from trusted farming communities to refining the roast at our Sacramento facility, both teams were focused on creating a coffee lineup that feels thoughtful, flavorful and true to the Corner Bakery experience.”

Java City sources coffee through farmer-owned cooperatives, supporting traceable origins, fair pricing and long-term relationships across the coffee supply chain. Its coffee consistently scores 83 or higher on the Specialty Coffee Association’s 100-point quality scale, placing it within the specialty coffee category.

The new coffee program is available at participating Corner Bakery Cafe locations and does not apply to El Paso cafes.
