Honestly? It’s a dessert with a caffeine side hustle. The coffee flavor is there, but it’s so well-masked by the sugar, cream, and spice that you might forget it exists.
It’s not like drinking a black coffee. It’s more like eating a pumpkin pie that secretly goes to the gym.
Don’t expect it to wake you up like your usual pour-over. You’ll get a little lift, not a levitation.
Here’s the real talk: Should you worry about it?
Unless you’re super sensitive to caffeine, 55mg is a pretty chill amount. It’s less than a can of Diet Coke (which has about 46mg).
For most people, this is about as intense as a friendly pat on the back from the coffee gods. You’ll feel a tiny hint of alertness, but you won’t be building a spreadsheet at 3 AM.
If you’re pregnant, avoiding caffeine for health reasons, or just trying to sleep before midnight, go for the Creme version. Your body will thank you. Your taste buds won’t know the difference.
