How Our Regulars Customize Their CBD Coffee (And How You Can Too)
Every coffee lover has a go-to order at their favorite cafe. Specialty coffee drinks are crafted to please the taste buds, but the best coffee shops go a step further — offering a flexible menu to cater to each customer’s preferences.
At Archies, customization is the name of the game. Many of our regulars enjoy CBD coffee through our add-ons, but why stop there? A simple dairy swap or a new flavor addition can create a new sensory journey. If that’s not enough, our wellness enhancements could be just the ticket to optimal self-care. You’re in charge — every cup becomes its own personalized ritual.
Sometimes, all you need is a simple tweak to navigate the day better. Others, you may crave a totally fresh approach. Either way, your CBD-infused coffee at Archies is your canvas! Let’s create your next masterpiece together.
Why CBD Coffee?
It’s no secret that many people consider coffee an everyday essential. While less common, CBD gained a major audience in recent years among Americans striving to feel their best. CBD and coffee are distinct, which is exactly why they make such a stellar combo.
CBD and Potential Benefits
CBD (cannabidiol) is a naturally occurring, non-intoxicating chemical compound found in cannabis and hemp. Its popular counterpart, THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) joins CBD as two of many plant compounds called “cannabinoids,” each with distinct actions and benefits.
CBD stands apart with no “high” after consumption. Instead, CBD leaves you with a number of therapeutic effects. CBD and cannabinoids like delta-9 THC, are also legal in the U.S. when sourced from hemp plants containing less than 0.3% THC.
CBD research is ongoing, but recent findings are promising. Among other potential benefits, recent studies suggest that CBD can:
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Improve sleep and insomnia symptoms
- Aid in pain management
- Reduce inflammation
- Lower blood pressure
- Manage epileptic/seizure-related conditions and symptoms
CBD Coffee
Caffeine is one of coffee’s main perks, providing that needed boost to stay moving throughout the day. Still, even the most seasoned coffee enthusiasts recognize caffeine’s less desirable effects. That’s where CBD comes in!
CBD’s stress-relieving effects instill calmness that can round out caffeine’s stimulating effects. For those days needing more efficiency or relief from the grind, a CBD coffee comes with the same energy and focus without those jittery effects. When you’re fully ready to mellow out, combining CBD and delta-9 THC could take your relaxation to the next level.
First Up: Hot or Iced
Archies makes it easy to have coffee your way. You can always go with a classic like a latte, americano, or a hearty cup of our house blend. Our Archies-exclusive specialty options offer even more, with carefully combined flavors to deliver unique experiences to your palate.
There’s a little something for everyone, with the choice to pivot when you are in the mood for a change. If you want to start small, nearly all drinks on the Archies menu can be made hot or iced to fit your mood or complement the weather. You may be surprised how much this seemingly minimal change can make a difference.
