**INITIAL REVIEW**
This is the first time I am reviewing a company strictly on the product compared to an overall visit to a business? Why? Because the only business I have partook with Bones Coffee (which I will shorthand to Bones for the remainder of this review) is online through the shop of their official website. So is it worth it? From an "online only" experience, I would definitely say it is worth checking out.
As I mentioned, I did not visit any physical location for Bones. Apparently, whomever is in charge of their promotions and advertising deserves a pretty hefty raise as I would have never known about Bones if it weren't for their ads on social media. I can't think of any real reason to head to Cape Coral, FL (at this moment), ergo, I wouldn't have ever come across Bones.
Just by their products alone, it looks like Bones is able to attain licensing for their coffee products. For example, I bought the three specialty coffee flavors based on the Indiana Jones Franchise. Will admit one of the major reasons I got those three flavors was 1.) limited edition, 2.) limited supply, and 3.) special pricing.
I also got the sample pack of traditional flavors and a classic Bones mug to go with my order. Overall, everything was almost $100, but ultimately, it was worth it.
Just for clarification, here are the flavors I got from Bones. Take note as of the publicatio of this review, I only had the flavors from the sample pack:
1. Army of Dark Chocolate: Dark roast with dark chocolate. Definitely the strongest roast of the five. Has a robust bitter taste without sugar, then tastes more like hints of milk chocolate with cream and sugar.
2. Salty Siren: Sea salted caramel mocha. Light roast coffee that as subtle hints of sea salt caramel more so when mixed with cream and sugar.
3. S'morey Time: S'mores. Definitely a one-two punch. When enjoyed straight, tastes like a s'more with dark chocolate. Add cream for a s'more with milk chocolate. Use sugar to give it that candy bar sweetness if wanted.
4. Highland Grog: Medium roast that is my fav of the five. Definitely can taste the butterscotch, but may be too strong for any caramel notes. Still, the best tasting "candy" coffee I ever had from beans.
5. Holy Cannoli: Cannoli. Probably the weakest of the five but still pretty good.
Ultimately, the five coffee flavors were pretty good. The coffee mug was of high quality and big (thus why the $50 pricetag), and the delivery was quite quick.
Ergo, as an online small batch coffeehouse, I give Bones Coffee four out of five stars. If they are consistent with their flavors and the speed of their delivery, I will give them an added star for consistency. read more
