Our Sour Cream Coffee Cake’s tart little sister. Virtually unknown, this is the secret sunrise snack of Zingerman’s regulars who happily bypass bagels and muffins for a slice. It’s made with real lemon oil from Boyajian, loads of award-winning Vermont Creamery Cultured Butter*, real vanilla, and a pile of perfectly ground poppy seeds. It tastes like biting into a perfect morning: sunny, rich, and satisfying.
*Vermont Creamery’s Unsalted Cultured Butter with 82% butterfat—our go-to butter—brings rich cultured flavor to our Coffee Cakes. It’s earned serious praise too—2nd-Place winner at the 2026 American Cheese Society (ACS) Competition and a near perfect score of 99.95 out of 100 at the 2024 World Championship Cheese Contest.
