Coffee, Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz Just Got a BLK & Bold Upgrade!
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!
Brewing Up A Sweet Partnership
“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 look forward to continuing the buzz and deepening our shared commitment to supporting underserved communities with every scoop and every sip.”
