Fuck Sugar! 787 Coffee's Goal for a Healthier & Fun Life
Let’s Connect on Social
Sugar is very common, especially in the United States, but not because its common means its good for you, not because you see it everywhere means you should consume it. Because we think "if it's common, it must be fine" has led many humans not to look at the impacts of our health choices, especially with sugar. For many years, sugar has been a villain in our daily lives hiding. We don't pay attention to it, it might not make any sound but it is present and harmful.
At 787 Coffee, we specialize in making sauces, pastries, and snacks that are low in sugar and healthier for YOU. This doesn't mean we don't want you to consume any sugar, it just means we are doing our best for our human health. On today's 787 Coffee blog, we are going to talk about how sugar is affecting us daily

Fuck Sugar!
The Impact of Sugar
Despite its silence, sugar speaks volumes through its effects on our health. It's one of the common reasons we get cavities, bad skin, and even cancer.
We are not saying you should NEVER consume sugar, but we do want to educate our humans on the impact of sugar in the long run.
Many of the foods we eat do not need to ADD sugar since they already come with their natural flavors. For example, Fruit and milk contain sugar, so they don’t need any sugar to be added.
Recent studies from the Harvard School of Public Health demonstrated there was a relationship between high sugar intake and type 2 diabetes. The British Medical Journal also showed there was an impactful study that revealed that high consumption of sugar could create the risk of Cancer! We're not trying to scare you, we just want to share the science behind sugar's long term impact.
A More Balanced Life
Our goal at 787 Coffee is not to cancel sugar but to create awareness of the harm it can do to us over time. We understand that sugar is an essential part of our diets, but we also know that too much of it can be harmful. That's why our goal is to provide our humans with healthier food options, from our delicious coffee drinks to our snacks.
In our WOW lattes, the syrups we use are homemade, so we make it with love, including lower sugar, no additives, and natural sweetness like cinnamon. Cinnamon, is a magical spice that is added to our syrups for our WOW Lattes, bringing that delicious and balanced sweetness. By using this fantastic ingredient, we can reduce the amount of sugar needed without taking away the amazing taste. We want our humans to understand that reducing sugar doesn't have to be boring or mean giving up the snacks we love. Instead, let's be more mindful and limit how much we have. We're here to support you on your journey to a healthier lifestyle, one coffee at a time.

#787coffee
Less than 1% of coffee shops in the world own a farm. We own Hacienda Iluminada in Maricao, Puerto Rico — and Supremo is the coffee it was built for.
Award-winning: Supremo carries the same specialty quality that earned 787 Coffee #3 Best Coffee Shop in New York City and #32 in North America — The World's 100 Best Coffee Shops, 2026.
Supremo is our flagship single-origin specialty coffee: a smooth medium roast of specialty-grade Arabica, grown at 3,000 feet in the mountains of Maricao and honey-processed for natural sweetness and depth. Tasting notes: dark chocolate, buttery caramel, citrus, and honey.
Honey-processed means the sweet mucilage is left on the bean as it sun-dries at the farm, so the sugars absorb right into the coffee — you taste it in every cup. Single-origin means every bean comes from one farm, with full traceability. No blending. No mystery origin.
Roasted to order in small batches — under 15 minutes, never sitting in a warehouse. And every bag plants one coffee tree at Micro Lot 2026, Hacienda Iluminada.
Brew it your way — espresso, pour-over, or drip. Available whole bean or ground.
Make it a subscription and save 10% — never run out of your daily cup. And if you love Supremo, taste it in our limited-edition Soccer & Coffee fútbol-season bag.
Grown with care. Roasted with purpose. Fueled by passion. For Humans, By Humans.
ONE BAG. ONE TREE.
