Philadelphia Cream Cheese has partnered with drive-thru coffee major Ziggi's Coffee to launch the Philadelphia Everything Bagel Latte, marking Philadelphia's initial entry into the beverage category.
Available for a limited time from 11 August through 17 August 2026 across participating Ziggi's Coffee locations in the United States, the menu item pairs iced espresso with a cream cheese cold foam and everything bagel seasoning topping.
The co-branded release enters the quick-service restaurant (QSR) and coffeehouse sectors, tapping into consumer demand for adventurous flavour profiles and savoury coffee preparations.
Savoury Beverage Formulation
The development of the Everything Bagel Latte translates traditional breakfast food pairings into a single liquid format.
According to consumer research cited by the brands, 62 per cent of beverage consumers express interest in exploring novel and adventurous coffee profiles.
Key formulation specifications and beverage components include:
☕ Iced Latte Foundation: Formulated using Ziggi's signature iced espresso latte base with subtle sweetness.
🧀 Philadelphia Cream Cheese Cold Foam: A savoury cold foam topping infused with authentic Philadelphia cream cheese.
🥯 Everything Bagel Seasoning: Finished with a topping of everything bagel seasoning, incorporating garlic, onion, sesame, and poppy seed notes.
Traci Graziani, Head of Away From Home Brand & Trade Marketing for Philadelphia Cream Cheese, stated that the beverage collaboration demonstrates the functional versatility of cream cheese beyond traditional baked goods and spreads.
Foodservice Strategy and Savoury Coffee Trends
For Ziggi's Coffee, the collaboration represents the operator's first venture into savoury iced latte formulations, expanding its food-and-beverage menu strategy.
Stacey Kane, Chief Strategic Projects & Partnerships Officer at Ziggi's Coffee, noted that the product build relies on the chain's top-selling Everything Bagel Breakfast Sandwich flavour profile to lower trial barriers for savoury drink formats.
The short-run release reflects broader QSR and coffeehouse trends where brand owners deploy high-equity CPG ingredient partnerships and limited-time offerings (LTOs) to stimulate trial, drive digital engagement, and capture morning daypart transactions.
Availability
The Philadelphia Everything Bagel Latte is being deployed across participating Ziggi's Coffee drive-thrus and coffeehouse stands nationwide for a short-run promotional window ending 17 August 2026, while promotional supplies last.
The partnership offers both brand owners an operational showcase for cross-category menu development and CPG-foodservice ingredient integration across North American retail networks.
