The Salty, a Miami donut and coffee shop staple, has joined forces with Jimmy Butler’s Bigface Coffee brand to launch an April collaboration we didn’t know we needed.
The Miami Heat icon recently traded his jersey for an apron and got in the kitchen to work with The Salty’s flavor innovation team. Taking croughnuts (a cross between a croissant and a doughnut) and coffee to a new level, the results were the Churro Croughnut and the Cinnamon Citrus Capp.
The Bigface Churro Croughnut is made with a 24-hour brioche croughnut tossed in cinnamon sugar, filled with a cinnamon mousse and topped with a thin caramel glaze and homemade mini churros. It pairs perfectly with the Cinnamon Citrus Capp, made with Bigface espresso, fresh orange, cinnamon syrup and the customer’s choice of milk.
“This new BIGFACE collab is special to me as we get to partner with a cool, local Miami brand, The Salty, while also getting to help out the community by donating a portion of the proceeds to Project Backboard. I’m proud to be a part of it,” says Jimmy Butler.
The collab is part of a wider plan to benefit Project Backboard, a nonprofit organization dedicated to renovating public basketball courts and installing large-scale works of site-specific art. The two brands will be donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of these exclusive items in support of the nonprofit’s mission.
“As a Miami born brand, we are stoked to partner with our home team’s biggest star to bring these ridiculously delicious items to our guests in Miami and beyond while raising money for a great cause,” said Andy Rodriguez, CEO and Co-Founder of The Salty. “We had a blast working with Jimmy to create this perfect pair of items and we’re excited for everyone to try them. They will blow your mind!”
The Churro Croughnut and Cinnamon Citrus Capp are now available at all 15 The Salty locations as well as pop-up locations. A special BIGFACE Bundle will also be offered for those who want a taste of both items. You’ll have to act fast though, because they’re only available for a limited time: through Sunday, April 21.
