At First Avenue Coffee, we use a number of Perfect Purée products for our seasonal baked goods and house-made syrups. They’re incredibly easy to use to bring fresh fruit flavor profiles to our lattes and donuts. Blueberry Lavender is a classic pairing that we’ve used for a number of seasons. The Perfect Purée’s Blueberry tastes like a dream, and brings a vibrancy to our vegan vanilla cake donuts. We’re massive fans of their variety of flavors and of the creativity they allow us to have.
