Back and better than ever: we love this classic, light roast blend that “tastes like coffee”. One of our all time best-sellers, it’s a perfect, uncomplicated roast for an easygoing morning. Cream and Sugar Blend is an ironic name, considering that you don’t need to add anything to this cup-- its smooth, silky notes of rich caramel and melted chocolate are deceptively simple, and roasted to perfection with an expert touch. That said, if you do prefer a splash of cream, or a spoonful of sugar, this roast happily complies. Everything about your morning should be this easy.

You simply can’t go wrong with Slate Coffee Roasters, a standout on the Seattle coffee scene since 2011. Slate opened their first “coffee bar” in Ballard, a young and vibrant Seattle neighborhood, and quickly turned heads with their modern approach to the drink: light, flavorful single origins, coffee flights reminiscent of wine tasting, deconstructed lattes. But this playful twist on coffee isn’t just for show: Slate crafts truly amazing coffees, most of them sourced through direct relationships with the farmers, and their roasts pop off the table with their sparkling, dessert-like flavors. Cream and Sugar is their “drip blend”, a fun nod to classic coffee flavors, elevated.

We’re loving the rich caramel taste in this cup during the first chilly mornings of autumn. If you’ve ever wondered how Seattle gets through its rainy season, the answer is right here! With its light, sweet flavors of chocolate, caramel, and toasted nuts, this light roast is classic, easy, and oh-so-delicious. Reserve your bag today, and discover why Slate’s Cream and Sugar Blend is one of our all time best-sellers. Don’t be afraid to fall in love…

Reviews & Ratings

Nicole	★★★★★	★★★★★ Very smooth and despite the chocolate notes, not bitter at all. Hints of almond and caramel balanced it out. Would have again.
David Brown	★★★★★	★★★★★ Solid, if basic, but too acidic for my everyday blend. Prefer others.
Joseph D. Gordon	★★★★★	★★★★★ Really good, just great basic flavors that don't disappoint. Nice hints of caramel, total taste pleasing.
Caffeinated AF	★★★★★	★★★★★ This is our favorite coffee, each new batch is always high quality. caramel notes. Smooth and just sweet enough for a perfect pour over.
Fran Oglesby	★★★★★	★★★★★ It goes down smooth and sweet. A light tasty cup of coffee, no bitterness at all.
Ilene Samowitz	★★★★★	★★★★★ An old standby. I enjoy Slate and wish that BB carried a larger selection.
Kristin Junk	★★★★★	★★★★★ Solid coffee, sweet and light. Makes a good go-to morning cup.
Ted Joshua Salvador	★★★★★	★★★★★ This is a great coffee to serve to those who don't really think about the flavors in the coffee. Taste great and would definitely keep buying
Katie Noble	★★★★★	★★★★★ ordering again - great finish. almond and caramel really come through at the end.
Catherine Longi	★★★★★	★★★★★ The name of this coffee is very appropriate. I don't usually drink my coffee black but this is flavorful enough that you don't need to add anything extra to it. I was very satisfied with this. A new favorite!
mcbankahan	★★★★★	★★★★★ This coffee was so delicious that it went super fast in our house. We usually consume our subscription bag in around a week and a half and this was gone in week! Very easy drinking coffee!
John Perkins	★★★★★	★★★★★ Very light coffee it good but prefer a darker roast. But is good after dinner coffee or just for a light coffee drinker.
Nicole	★★★★★	★★★★★ Might veer a little too much into dark chocolate but delicious. Accurate description. Made via chemex.
Michael Kauder	★★★★★	★★★★★ I give this 4 stars for what it is, but I personally would not order again. This is obviously for people who like lighter roasts and I am not one of them. It makes a sour espresso shot so is more of a drip/aeropress/chemex/pourover coffee. It's not a bad coffee, just doesn't match my taste.
Joe Wright	★★★★★	★★★★★ This was a superb every day coffee. I really enjoyed the balance and ease of drinking. Additionally, my cat seemed to love the smell and came bounding into the kitchen every time I started cranking the grinder.
Kristiana Kornegay	★★★★★	★★★★★ Pretty good, but I'm generally not a light roast person, so not my favorite. Those that prefer a light roast I think would enjoy though.
Kate L	★★★★★	★★★★★ Balanced albeit a little too sour for my taste.
Jesse Lunsford	★★★★★	★★★★★ This is a coffee we buy time and time again. It's a perfect roast for daily and contrary to its name, needs no cream or sugar to bring out the sweetness of the roast.
Daniel Lovelace	★★★★★	★★★★★ Good but not exceptional coffee overall. It has a good flavor and body, but because it's a light roast, there's not enough kick in it for me. I can taste hints of dark chocolate occasionally.
Caffeinated AF	★★★★★	★★★★★ A staple for the house. Smooth, no sugar needed. A favorite.
Trey Avey	★★★★★	★★★★★ Never can go wrong with coffee from Slate Coffee Roasters. Always put out great roasts. Seems like Cream and Sugar is a staple in their offerings. Great stuff!
William Taylor	★★★★★	★★★★★ I agree that this is an excellent blend, with intense and resonant flavor. It is more finicky than most: you have to get the grind, water temperature and steeping just right. My success rate is about 75%. But it is worth the effort and I strongly recommend this coffee.
Susan Teeters	★★★★★	★★★★★ This was the very first coffee I tried from Bean Box. I was NOT disappointed! It is a smooth blend with no bitterness. Even have my husband drinking regular coffee again! Just placed another order. My new "addiction"! Thank you, Bean Box for doing what you do. So many coffees to choose from.
ARA	★★★★★	★★★★★ This blend does have a sugar-like finish and is good black. We use a french press and it can be brewed slightly weaker and still yield a good cup.
Casey	★★★★★	★★★★★ Wow. This is a great lighter roast. More caramel than chocolate or almond in my opinion. 10/10 would drink again. Also, great name!
Ricky Landino	★★★★★	★★★★★ This is a great cup of coffee for a light roast! I am normally drawn more towards medium/dark roasts due to the more favorable notes. I taste quite a lot of dark chocolate in this but find it tough to taste any almond notes. Perhaps it will come out more with a pour over. Would definitely by again!
Brian Nussbaum	★★★★★	★★★★★ I loved the name more than the coffee. I expected a lot more from this. It was middle of the road at best for me. A well promoted coffee but it didn't live up to the hype for me.
Dan Rissi	★★★★★	★★★★★ This is one of my favorites. I like the chocolate and caramel notes and the smooth yet lingering flavor that makes it pretty good as you first cup of the day.
Vanessa Burrell	★★★★★	★★★★★ Excellent! Light, but not cirtrusy or acidic...just tastes like a good cup of coffee! Seems like it would be a crowd pleaser. I used an aeropress and drank it black.
Matthew Ryan	★★★★★	★★★★★ The tasting notes are good, and it's a solid coffee. I think it's a great breakfast companion and it's perfect for a french press. Mouthfeel and body are slightly heavy for me, but it's enjoyable nonetheless.
Amanda Shepherd	★★★★★	★★★★★ I found this to be really bitter, not sweet like I was expecting.
Gunner James Sandifer	★★★★★	★★★★★ I am loving all things caramel! This rich in taste coffee will leave you wanting more! Adding one of these to my list of favorites!
Francesca Gentile	★★★★★	★★★★★ A great coffee. I normally lean toward darker roasts, but this coffee is smooth and has a nice nuttiness that I really enjoyed. A good standard coffee that I'll order again.
Jessica Mayon	★★★★★	★★★★★ Love.Love.Love this coffee. Perfectly smooth. Goes great with a piece of dark chocolate in the afternoon. My non-coffee drinking friend even enjoyed a cup of this coffee.
Mark Langston	★★★★★	★★★★★ This coffee. Oh. My. God. This coffee. Not only do I not normally like light roasts (I prefer medium to medium bold) I almost never leave reviews. But. This. Coffee. It is soooooo good. It is what a perfect cup of fresh coffee at a coffee shop on a lazy Sunday would taste like. ~Lis Anna-Langston
X.J.	★★★★★	★★★★★ It has a lovely gentle sweetness, I get more vanilla or caramel than cream. Very tasty as a coffee with sweet snacks, this was my favorite for accompanying my weekly fancy donut treat!
Frederick Gingell	★★★★★	★★★★★ Sweet notes is almond and vanilla. Not as sweet as I suspected but I definitely loved it!
Stephanie Chapman	★★★★★	★★★★★ This coffee is very good I would recommend to anyone that they try it
Andrea Blankenship	★★★★★	★★★★★ Not a bad cup of coffee but I guess given the name I just expected a little more sweetness to come through on this one. It's good, but not the best I've had.
Matthew C Artz	★★★★★	★★★★★ I agree with the label notes that it's a nice balanced cup, but I was hoping for a bit more body and a more robust flavor. Tasty, easy drinking, but left me wanting a little more oomph.
Jane Coffee Lover	★★★★★	★★★★★ Delicious light roast. Well balanced with a hint of sweetness and caramel.
Adam S. Nelson	★★★★★	★★★★★ I ended up making this in my drip coffee maker and as a pour over. It was smooth and mild. We enjoyed the hints of dark chocolate, almond, and caramel. I would definitely purchase this blend, again, and try it as a cold brew.
Joseph Fisher	★★★★★	★★★★★ This was a great coffee. Very drinkable and didn't need any help. I used a chemex to brew mine and i thought it really brought out the notes of the caramel and chocolate. Wasn't the best when i had it iced, but overall a great roast.
Allison Mojzis	★★★★★	★★★★★ it's not quite a flavored coffee but it tastes like one. They had me at "caramel and almond". it may be a light roast but it has a perfect balance of strength and taste, not watery at all. FYI I use a traditional drip coffee maker.
Dan Currier	★★★★★	★★★★★ This is a great coffee. Really makes a great latte but also wonderful for just an espresso. Would definitely recommend.
Amy Harris	★★★★★	★★★★★ I really enjoyed this. I usually brew with my french press, but I chose to use my drip coffee maker instead. Great solid cup, easy to drink, and I enjoyed it with just a bit of cream.
Alicia j btown	★★★★★	★★★★★ An ok coffee- think my expectations were higher for this based on reviews
Ana Ousouljoglou	★★★★★	★★★★★ Favorite go-to everyday coffee. Tastes great brewed with a V-60
Andrew	★★★★★	★★★★★ For a light roast this blend has had a ton of flavor. It isn't very complex, just tastes great. It's our new go to.
Erika E.	★★★★★	★★★★★ Described as a go-to coffee for everyday drinking, which is spot on. Delicious, solid, and well balanced brew. I prepared this as a pour over using a Hario v60. Very nice.
