If you like coffee, you’re unlikely
to operate without it. And plenty of
sports food out there has caffeine in
it. But if you truly love coffee, it’s less
about the caffeine and more about
the flavour. And that’s where Coffee
Bars come in. With a promotional
tag of ‘Eat your coffee’, the makers
say that each bar contains a cup of
joe. The ingredients list reads like a
superfoods shopping list, with chia
seeds, cacoa nibs, dates, cashews,
oats, coconut, quinoa and more.
They’re organic, fair trade, gluten
free and vegan.

Flavours available are Mocha
Latte, Coconut Mocha and Caramel
Macchiato, but the real essence is
coffee – and it’s not mistakable. I
liked it, but then I love coffee. Others
found the flavour too much. But
the bars were a perfect trail snack


  • edible while riding, and easy to
    transport. They aren’t too high in
    sugar or fat, and don’t leave a sickly
    sweet taste in your mouth.


If you love coffee and want to try a
new bar to pack in your Camelbak
or pocket, I’d certainly recommend
trying them.
