"This one-of-a-kind gift box includes a 12 oz. bag of a collab-exclusive Rook coffee, ‘Match Made in Jersey’ — described as a medium roast from Mexico with notes of juicy ripe red apple, brown sugar and cocoa — as well as six Delicious Orchards doughnuts of choice, plus a collab-exclusive mug."

This is the first time Rook — which was started in 2010 by a pair of childhood friends out of a 300-square-foot shack in Long Branch — collaborated with Delicious Orchards. Delicious Orchards has been selling its farm-grown vegetables, apples and doughnuts by the side of the road since 1959 and became so widely known in New Jersey that they expanded into the beloved farm market that many visit today.

"With shops down the road from one another, this collaboration was, in our eyes, meant to be," said Rook's co-founders Holly Migliaccio and Shawn Kingsley. "Who doesn’t love coffee and donuts after all?"
