‘Friends’ Fans Can Now Buy Coffee From Central Perk
Ever wish you could just chill on the couch with the cast of “Friends” sipping a cup of hot coffee from the famous coffee shop Central Perk? Well, you might not be able to be in the same room surrounded by the same people, but you most certainly can be drinking the same coffee.
“Friends” is turning 25 this year – the show debuted on September 22, 1994 – and to celebrate this milestone, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is featuring Friends-themed drinks in-store, as well as Central Perk-inspired coffee and tea that fans can indulge in at home.
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and Warner Bros. have collaborated to release six special beverages that are each named after a Friends character. That means you can order “The Rachel” or “The Joey” or even “The Ross” (unless you’re on a break).
The Joey is a Mango Cold Brew Tea; The Monica is a Midnight Mocha Cold Brew; The Rachel is a Matcha Latte; The Ross is a Classic Flat White; The Chandler is a Caramel Coconut Latte; and The Phoebe is a Cookies and Cream Ice Blended.
The special drinks will be available at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf from Wednesday, July 31 until Tuesday, August 27.
The Coffee Bean will also be selling two types of coffee: Central Perk Medium Roast, which has “a nutty aroma and a sweet, smooth finish” and Central Perk Dark Roast, which is “rich” and “aromatic” with “sweet, chocolate undertones that pack a punch.” The tea option, Central Perk Tea, is a black tea that is blended with citrus.
