Our classic Red Bag™ coffee offers distinctive taste and a full-bodied, yet smooth flavor that is preferred in New Orleans. Perfect for those who miss the familiar taste of fine Louisiana coffee, or for those who want to get acquainted with something special.
Our Private Reserve® specialty coffees deliver a rich experience unique to Community® coffee. Selected from the top 1% of the world’s Arabica beans, our specialty coffees include blends, as well as varietals from specific regions or coffee plantations.
Due to a coffee shortage during the Civil War, New Orleanians began extending their coffee supply by adding chicory, the root of the endive plant, roasted and ground. The result was a bittersweet, heavy-bodied brew. Coffee and chicory remains a New Orleans favorite today.

This is the best in flavored coffee.I agree with others- keep it year round!Excellent blend without being too much. Buy some today if you haven't tried it yet.
I too am not a flavored-coffee fan, but decided to give this a try...and now I guess I AM a flavored-coffee fan, at least with Carnivale Cake!one!!
I am not a big Flavored coffee person...but this blend is DELICIOUS! I vote to keep it year-round!!!!!! PLEASE!
Every flavored coffee I ever tried tasted the way I imagine bad coffee would taste if you floated a scented candle in it. Yuk.Carnivale Cake had its work cut out, because I was squarely in the opposite camp. But the glowing reviews and my own reckless spirit compelled me to give it a whirl. Glad I did!Try it with a plain biscotti, madeline or piece of pound cake. Buy it and be amazed.
I Am A Huge Fan Of The Carnivale cake Coffee...best coffee in the world.....please keep it......year round.....
My boyfriend does not care for flavored coffees, but this blend sure changed his mind. We love the light sweet bread flavor. Really delicious, like drinking dessert.
I remember drinking community coffee in the South. I lived there for seven years and since I have returned to the west coast, I have not had a cup of Community Coffee. While on Facebook, I found your ad for Carnivale Cake coffee, this stuff is awesome! It is almost like drinking candied coffee. It isn't too sweet or too oversaturated with cinnamon either. I bought two bags. I hardly think they will last all that long. Yummy!Christina in California
It's good. Best coffee I've ever tasted. My people are Creoles and we love our coffee. Truly a carnivale taste for your mouth.
This is the best coffee in the WORLD!!I'm extatic you now have it all year long!
I do not like flavored coffees AT ALL. This is the ONE. It is clean tasting - most I can detect artificial flavors immediately and they are a bad imitation ..I look forward to getting this coffee again...and again...etc etc and so forth..
This is my favorite flavored coffee blend. Smells like Mardi Gras every time I brew a pot and it takes me back home... Thanks Community Coffee... you are the only coffee in my pot at home :)
...but I actually like a flavored coffee! I do mix this half and half with Dark Roast, but find it doesn't have that chemical flavor most other flavored coffees have. It's a winner!
I was born and raised in Louisiana and grew up on Community Coffee. I will drink no other. This Carnival Cake blend is so wonderful. We now live west of Houston and last year we could not find the Carnivale Cake blend. When I say it at a store here this year, I grabbed it. Then I decided to go online and order some so that we have it all the time. Thank you for creating this blend and I really wish that there was a Community Coffee House in the Sealy-Bellville, Texas area.Peggy Ross
I first tried this coffee some months back when it was "re-introduced" for a short time. I liked it very much. However, my recent 2010 holiday order seemed to use different flavoring (not cinnamon and vanilla) and my mother, who is highly allergic to hazelnut) was sickened by it. Community Coffee did make good on its refund and replacement offer - however - more complete information on flavoring contents could help minimize problems like this.
This is by far the best coffee Community has ever made. Was excited last August when they had it for a short time. I'm wondering since it's past Mardi Gras time and it's still available if it will be offered year round. Wouldn't have to worry about stocking up for a whole year. :-)
Fantastic blend and what a way to wake up!!! Took me back to Burbon St. and Benyas!Please produce this fantastic coffee and sell it year round PLEASE!!!Ingrid
Off the charts good!
I tried this coffe during my visit to LA a couple weeks ago and loved it so much I had to come to the website and order some!!! I understand this coffee is only avail during mardi gras season, too bad, NEED to be year round!
I beg you to keep this all year round.....PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I echo the sentiments of nearly everyone else. I'm not a big fan of flavored coffees but I figured, why not give it a try? Worst case: I won't like it and I'll give it away. Nope, it's mine, all mine. Please, please. please make this available year-round.
THE AROMA IS TANTALIZING!THIS COFFEE IS DELICIOUS AND SMOOTH! WE NORMALLY STEER AWAY FROM FLAVORED COFFEES,BUT THIS BEAUTY IS DELIGHTFUL AND SUBTLE! DO NOT DENY YOURSELF ANY LONGER!IT WILL MAKE YOU DO THE 'HAPPY DANCE'!THANK YOU CC!!
I have tried many flavored coffees and last year I came across this flavor. My husband is not a big fan of flavored coffees, but we are both sold on this one. I requested last year in an e-mail for this to be made a permanent flavor & would love for it to be made available year round. We have shared it with many of our friends & family they love it too. Please consider making it available year round. It's our favorite - thanks community coffee for such a great product.
The first time I had this was in Panama City FL. I usually drown my coffee with flavored dreams BUT with this one.....don't touch it. The flavor is something you melt into. Find a peaceful, comfy spot and enjoy it. I've tried similar flavors but NOTHING touches CC Carnivale Cake. I vote for year round also but I know :-( it would not be Carnivale then. Oh well! Something worth waiting for!!!!
I love Carnivale Cake Coffee, it takes me back to the days of Old Carnivale days, we use to have around here. The smeell when it brews is great, and the taste will blow you always, and take you alway to another time, and place.
This coffee represents the season of Epiphany throughout Louisiana and the Christian faith. Nothing beats King Cake and Carnival coffee!
This is the best coffee ever! I believe that it should be sold year round. I look forward to it every year and stock up on it so I can have it year round. I am not a huge fan of flavored coffees but this one is different. Thanks community coffee!
This is our favorite coffee! I order at least six bags online every year & if I happen to see it at the grocery, pick up more. It really needs to be sold year round!!!
This coffee truly does need to be sold year round. Taste it once and you'll agree.
You have absolutely got to try this coffee! I'm not a huge flavored coffee fan, but this one is the exception. They only offer this for a couple of months each year and I look forward to it every year.
This product should absolutely be sold year round. I search for it at several stores during the season and pick up whatever I find so I can send out to family and friends all over the US and Canada. I'm in love with it and am on a mission to make all I know addicts also LOL. Several votes for the Carnival Cake!
I love, love love this coffee. I have tried many flavored coffees. I agree with the other reviewers please keep this year around. You will not be disappointed if you give this a try. You wil keep coming back for more I'm addicted.
Wow...great timing!!I ordered 4 bags at the end of 2009 when you brought it back. I just made my last pot...I've been alternating between this and the cinnamon roll just to make it last! Thank you! Will it be in stores? My mom is in Slidell and my sis is in Baton Rouge.
Tis the season of Mardi Gras and the best flavored coffee we have ever tried! Converted my wife to be a Community lover! I have never been let down by any CC, but this is a spring time delight that we wait for every year! Will be ordering soon!
My wife and I love the carnivale Cake blend. We can only find it during the Mardi Gras season. It gives us more to look forward to at Mardi Gras. We would also love to see the Vermont Maple blend come back.
I'm not one for flavored coffees, but Community Coffee carries the best ones and Carnivale Cake is the best I've tasted. It isn't overwhelming in taste, or leave you wondering "What flavor was that?" either. A perfect balance of coffee and flavoring that leaves you wanting more.
Tried this for the first time last week. I normally do not care for flavored coffee's..but this was exceptional!! Absolutely fantastic!! Please, please, make it availible year round!
I can't wait to try this flavor!! Love your coffee!!
My wife and I think is the best coffee ever! We think it should be available year 'round, too.
I've had this coffee quite a few times. And I couldn't agree more with everyone else. Keep this one all year round.
As a coffee club member and huge fan of Community Coffee, I had the misfortune of never trying this blend. Big Mistake! Carnival Cake is awesome. I received a shipment for this month's coffee of the month and shared it with my co-workers at school, and they instantly fell in love with it as well. In fact, I ordering more for them. Kudos, Community!
With an absolutely wonderful smell that will be sure to permeate your entire office and make your co-workers jealous, this coffee is a true treat! I am not a flavoured coffee lover by any means, but this has a great taste that is not overpowering to the underlying roast.It's all the taste/fun of a King Cake, without the plastic baby.
This coffee is simply fantastic! I've been looking for it since October...lol Wonderful flavor. I look forward to my order each year.
