Coffee lovers, we’ve got some buzzbuzzbuzz for you! We’re excited to be teaming up with our friends at BLK & Bold once again to brew up some exciting scoops. The swoon-worthy espresso bean fudge chunks in Coffee, Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz will now be made using BLK & Bold’s ethically sourced coffee! BLK & Bold is a social impact coffee brand that’s all about brewing up change, one cup at a time. And this isn’t just a partnership — it’s a celebration of coffee, ice cream, and community vibes, all scooped into one delicious pint.
Think you’ve heard of BLK & Bold before? That’s because this isn’t the first time we’ve joined forces to churn up something delicious. Back in 2021, we launched Change is Brewing, a pint to support the People’s Response Act and a new approach to community safety, made with BLK & Bold cold brew coffee. Fans loved this cold brew ice cream bursting with marshmallow swirls and fudge brownies so much, we brought it back in 2022 to support voter turnout during election season. It was a hit both times, so we knew we had to keep the bold brews coming.
And now you’ll be able to enjoy BLK & Bold’s unique brand of ethically-sourced java anytime in Coffee, Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz’s iconic espresso bean fudge chunks. Did you know that Coffee, Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz first came out in 1996? That’s 28 years of coffee ice cream packed with espresso bean fudge chunks!
“Continuing our work with Ben & Jerry’s means furthering our shared mission of making a tangible difference,” said Pernell Cezar, Co-Founder and CEO of BLK & Bold. “Every scoop represents a step toward building stronger communities and creating meaningful impact together.”
“We’re thrilled to introduce BLK & Bold coffee into the espresso fudge chunks in Coffee, Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz and fans can expect the same great flavor they know and love,” said Emily K. Smith, Head of Brand Innovation at Ben & Jerry’s. “Our shared commitment to values and social justice is what first brought BLK & Bold and Ben & Jerry’s together and we’re happy to expand that relationship with yet another delicious layer to the partnership.”
“It's incredibly exciting to continue our longstanding partnership with Ben & Jerry’s through the Coffee, Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz flavor,” said Rod Johnson, Co-Founder of BLK & Bold. “Our journey together has been about more than just coffee and ice cream; it’s about using our combined platforms to amplify purpose-driven initiatives and create meaningful impact. We look forward to continuing the buzz and deepening our shared commitment to supporting underserved communities with every scoop and every sip.”
As the first Black-owned nationally distributed coffee brand, BLK & Bold is committed to giving back to underserved communities, with 5% of its profits dedicated to initiatives that empower youth and support grassroots change. Recently, BLK & Bold welcomed Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders as a co-owner and social change leader, further dedicating themselves to their mission. Additionally, the launch of the BLK & Bold Foundation underscores the company's commitment to sustainable and impactful change. BLK & Bold is brewing up more than just coffee — they’re brewing up long term, sustainable change.
What does the future hold for BLK & Bold and Ben & Jerry’s? We can’t say for sure, but there could be another scoop on the horizon. Stay spooned for more!
