1. Chicken and waffles

If you’re a fan of all-day breakfast, you’re in luck. Go for the chicken and waffles, which offers a savoury alternative to the classic pancakes that’s equally addictive. It sees a crispy, marinated chicken over a generously thick waffle, accompanied by chilli honey and maple syrup. Both the chicken and the waffle offer a delightful crunch, delivering a sweet, savoury, and spicy punch that will have you coming back for more.

2. All American cheeseburger

It doesn’t get any better than the All American Cheeseburger, an American diner staple that’s indulgently juicy, tender, and greasy. The Coach Café doesn’t change the formula one bit, serving up a succulent griddled beef patty with tomato, lettuce, red cheddar, and pickles sandwich between a homemade brioche bun. Served with a side of crispy curly fries, this is one classic you don’t want to miss out on. 

3. Rexy donuts

If you’re looking for a light bite to go with your coffee, the Rexy donuts have you covered. Named after Coach’s T-Rex mascot, the donuts are decadently rolled in sugar—go for the cinnamon spiced donut for a sweet, woody delight on your senses. If not, the donuts stuffed with lemon curd or cherries and cream make an indulgent treat that will elevate your midday perk.

Make sure to stick around until 6pm, when the café transforms into a dessert bar offering a bevy of decadent desserts. Don’t miss out on the Hangtag Surprise, a 3D chocolate version of Coach’s classic hangtag found on all its bags. Crack it open and you’ll find surprise treats. Served with vanilla ice cream and a mixed berries compote, it’s delightful, playful, and funny, which is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

5. Dream It Real S'mores

Another dessert bar offering, the Dream It Real S'mores are a real treat. You'll be equipped with skewers to melt your vanilla marshmallows over a personal mini stove before you assemble it with graham crackers and milk chocolate. Decadent and saccharine, it's best enjoyed after one of Coach Café's hearty cheeseburgers or fried chicken sandwiches.
