My Grandma’s of New England Cinnamon Walnut Coffee Cake Review

I’m not a big fan of coffee cake, but this was on the half-price one day old rack at Ralphs, so I gave it a shot. 

Good and fresh! The box says, Includes Reusable Freezer Bag, but I also put it in a bigger freezer bag. (I bag all baked goods in the refrigerator.) It was soft and moist over several days.

My Grandma’s of New England coffee cake tasted buttery, and it had a generous topping  of Coffee Cake Type Things, including those nuts and spices. The 2nd ingredient is sour cream, so that adds the rich taste! I also really liked that it did not have that artificial preservative flavor that so many grocery chain cakes and breads do, making them inedible to discerning cake lovers.

I warmed it up and added butter a couple of times, but it really doesn’t need it. Recommended.

What Others are Saying about My Grandma’s of New England Cinnamon Walnut Coffee Cake

I was surprised to find this on Amazon! Apparently it’s better known than I thought. They like it there.

Sensibly Sara likes it. Erik Eats likes it.  That about covers it.

Where to Buy it

I bought it at Ralphs, and I’ve seen it at Gelson’s, too. Here it is on Amazon, and they also have it without walnuts. I can only find the one without walnuts at Instacart.

Last Bite

2.5 Stars. Because coffee cake isn’t as interesting as chocolate.

I want everything in the kitchen photo above, from 1933, when I bet they made a lot of coffee cakes from scratch, as well as the coffee. Vintage photo from All About Home Baking,  Hardback 1933.
