Mazapan Latte: Mexican Candy Meets Puerto Rican Coffee Perfection
Let’s Connect on Social
Hello Caffeinated Humans!
Some flavors go beyond taste, they hold memories. For millions across the globe, mazapán is one of those flavors. That crumbly peanut candy, with its delicate, iconic paper wrapper, and the challenge everyone plays of opening up the candy without breaking a piece.
Takes people back to their childhood. For many it was their after school treat, a must at family gatherings, and abuela’s (grandmas) favorite candy. Then we asked ourseveles: What if we could capture that feeling of nostalgia and serve it in a cup?
The answer is our Mazapán Latte! a drink that doesn’t just combine flavors, but connects cultures, blending the sweet, nutty essence of this beloved Mexican candy combined with the high-quality profile of our single origin specialty coffee from Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Colombia. This is how we made a traditional Mexican candy into a 787 coffee obsession.

The History of Mazapán: From Spanish Marzipan to Mexican Icon
Mazapán’s story is a beautiful example of cultural fusion. Its roots trace back to Spanish marzipan, a candy traditionally made with almonds and sugar, but when this recipe arrived in Mexico, it was ingeniously adapted using peanuts. This was a nut native to the Americas that was more abundant and affordable. This simple change transformed a European luxury into a uniquely Mexican staple.
In 1942, a single brand, De la Rosa, began producing mazapán on a large scale in Guadalajara, Mexico. Their distinctive, round candies became a household name, cementing mazapán as one of Mexico's most cherished sweets.
At 787 Coffee, we celebrate a fusion of Latin cultures. Through our coffee, we bring together the mix of traditions of Puerto Rico and Colombia, offering a taste of home that resonates in all our coffee shops.

Why Mazapán Matters: A Cultural Anchor and Emotional Connection
Every piece of mazapán carries an emotional weight that is deeply personal. It’s about the simple joy of childhood, the pride of heritage, and the unifying power of shared tradition. Its familiar flavor and fragile, crumbly texture are so iconic that January 12th is even celebrated as Día del Mazapán in Mexico, a statement to its cultural significance.
This emotional connection is why the flavor is so powerful as our WOW latte. When people see our Mazapán Latte, they see their own story honored and celebrated. It's a way to taste a memory and feel a sense of belonging, no matter where YOU are.

How 787 Coffee Reimagined It: A "WOW" Drink is Born
At 787 Coffee, we want to keep pushing the boundaries of innovation. Our baristas set out to do more than just add mazapán to coffee; they sought to create a perfect marriage of flavors.
The result is our signature Mazapán Sauce. Instead of simply replicating the candy’s sweetness, we crafted a sauce that blends smoothly with the rich, dark chocolate and buttery notes of our single-origin Puerto Rican coffee beans. Grown with care in the fertile mountains of Maricao, our coffee provides the perfect balance to the nutty, sweet essence of mazapán. This unique combination is why the Mazapán Latte has become one of our most popular "WOW" drinks, it’s an unforgettable flavor profile.
Flavor Profile Breakdown: A Layered Sensory Journey The Mazapán Latte isn’t just another sweet coffee drink. It’s a layered flavor journey created to be a complete sensory experience:
