The Creme will now offer its most popular drinks beyond coffee, with a new line of sealed cans for takeout, pre-orders and, potentially, wholesale distribution partnerships .
Owner Brooklyn Marx says the idea came to her over a year ago after seeing a specialized can sealing machine online.
“I saw a video on TikTok and I thought it was so cool. I had never seen this type of machine before,” she says. “I started looking, researching to find one, but it was impossible. This was about a year and a half ago. Then my dad sent me another video of a coffee shop abroad doing this, and I was like, ‘I have to find this machine.’”
After finally getting one, she saw it as a way to expand her business without opening a second location .
“I wanted to find a way to reach more people in the community without having to run a second store,” she says. “I have three kids, I’m in nursing school, so it’s already pretty crazy. But I thought this would be a good way for people to take their drink home, especially if they don’t have time to stop by in the morning before work, or to enjoy it on Sundays when we’re closed.”
Staff prepare coffee, juice or chai, fill the bottles, then use the new machine to seal a can lid on top .
The first series will feature customer favorites like the Matcha Iced Latte (matcha, coconut milk) and Campfire (chocolate, white chocolate, toasted marshmallow, cinnamon), as well as chai, matcha lemonades, and best-selling lemonades like Ocean Water and Strawberry .
Cans will be sold individually in the store's refrigerator or at the mobile stand. Packs of 4, 6, or 12 cans will be available at a discounted rate. Bulk pricing will also be available for retail partners.
Pre-orders will be open Monday through Thursday, with production on Friday and pickup on Saturday . Orders can be placed online.
