The Good
Coffee is my favorite flavor. I have tried Double Rich Chocolate, Mocha Cappuccino, Extreme Chocolate, French Vanilla, Strawberry Banana (this one made me sick), Delicious Strawberry, and others. While I hate the taste of protein in general, after a while the other flavors would make me feel sick. Masha Allah, I have not had this issue with the Coffee flavor. I wouldn’t say it tastes exactly like coffee, but mixed with milk, the taste is not half bad. – Abdul
It is at least 14.2x better than the vanilla ice cream flavor i got last time. I actually like drinking the shake (I take it with milk) and its good with a bit of coffee syrup in it (the stuff we use to make coffee milk in parts of the country that don’t suck). – iknowiknow
This is one of the best flavors you can get in protein. Tastes great with water or milk as a mix. I use 2.5 scoops per 11 ounces of water for and my shake is clump free and very rich in flavor.
Please note the mint taste is NOT over-powering, it is just the right amount to make it taste different from chocolate without being too minty. I recommend this flavor and product, super fast Amazon shipping as well. – The Chad
The Bad
This is very bland and tastes watered down to me. I have tried “doctoring” in several different ways which have not been successful. – SRS
Coffee flavor sucks! Don’t buy it unless you like the sensation of gagging every 2 seconds… – Jonathan Nelson
Has a terrible aftertaste! Would not recommend. – Arely M.

The Good
So delicious!!! Revived my healthy eating again because this makes it so do-able!! I’ll be reordering!! I have tried so many protein powders for smoothies and by far this one is the best tasting and very fulfilling!! I put 8 ounces of cold water into the blender pitcher with lots of ice cubes and two heaping scoops of the coffee flavored. Set the blender on smoothie” and it comes out perfect!! Reminds me of the Dunkin Donuts frozen coffee drinks! That’s how delicious it tastes!! – dakco
This is the best tasting coffee with protein I have found (except Starbucks) and I mix it with plain water. Protein and caffeine–Such a great combination – gives me lots of energy. Originally tried the homemade drink and this is sooo much better. – Kathleen W
I cannot say enough great things about this product! I was introduced to this product by a coworker who also was looking for “the right protein shake.” I tried a sample and bought my first bag the following day.
The coffee flavor and protein are a great balance. There’s no after taste to my knowledge. I truly enjoy drinking this protein product after my bootcamp.
I do not have time to conjure up a smoothie or mishmash of items to create a post workout drink, so I love the convenience of this product. I pour in 10 ounces of water into my shaker, add 2-3 scoops, add a few cubes of ice, and then SHAKE the crap out of my shaker. =)
I’ve since purchased this product at least 3 times in the past 6 months. I do not drink it religiously, but it’s my number one protein drink in my household. – Eileen M.L.
The Bad
*Gag* This stuff is so sweet its disgusting. I started with 5oz unsweet almond milk and 1/2 a scoop of powder. ended up adding a ton of ice and a generous addition of almond milk just to dilute it. – Ln
The taste is so bad actually is horrible – Anomyous
Was honestly very disappointed in the taste of this product. Had a very overwhelming protein-y taste that was not masked at all by the coffee. Had high hopes and ended up throwing away after my brother hated as well. – Anonymous

The Good
First of all this is the king of shaker drinks if you work overnights like I do. 150mg of caffeine that it has is no joke. It will give you the jitters though if you drink it too fast.
I got this as a snack as I have some pretty long shifts and rather not intake a ton of extra calories. So something caffeinated, containing coffee, and that tastes good along with filling you up a bit is a big bonus. I would recommend it for sure. – Joshua A. Baerbock
This was my first time purchasing this product, I will definitely purchase again. It tastes good and it definitely gives me some energy in the morning. It also curbed my appetite a lot when having it for breakfast. – EmLow
Really good! It gives me a boost and It has a lot of caffeine 150mg! Good for me! Delicious taste! – CrissyG
The Bad
tastes awful – Alix Carter
We didn’t like the taste. We like [easyazon_link identifier=”B00DFSMHIM” locale=”US” tag=”killermuscle09-20″]Fit Frappe[/easyazon_link] better. – Frisbee
This stuff was just a mess of clumpy bad tasting muck in my cup. Plus if you read the ingredients you will see sucralose is an ingredient. They claim “no artificial flavors but if you do a simple search on sucralose you will find in unbiased resources that it is in fact not natural and is made in a chemical process that of course can come with side effects; one of which being headaches which I get when I have artificial sweeteners. Just a heads up. – music man

The Good
I love my protein shakes, but not a fan of traditional flavors (choc, straw, van) I like the coffee flavors. I’ve literally tried so many, most are pretty expensive (was buying chike but they raised the price like 10 bucks and I was like “nope”) but this one is much cheaper and has to be my favorite tasting. So satisfied with this, will prob continue buying this in the future… – Anonymous
Tastes great, mixes nearly instantly even with water. My coach recommended this product and i can see why. The low fat content is an added bonus!! – kate
Great price. Great taste, not too strong of a coffee taste like I was hoping for, but it is still delicious and without high sugar! Great buy. – LeslieDaniela
The Bad
Would not buy this product again. The artificial sweeteners in this are way too strong and overpower the flavor. Many other brands out there that taste better. – msospin
Tastes Terrible. Waste of money. No wonder it was cheaper than the rest. – Shawn Meds
Had high hopes from the other reviews about this particular flavor, however after just a week of use I am regretting it ever since. The taste of the protein barely resembles cappuccino and leaves a foul taste in your mouth. Good nutrition, just can’t recommend it if I loathe the thought of taking it after my workout. – Anonymous

The Good
Absolutely loving this meal replacement mix. I normally have a tendency not to eat when I should yet I replace the food with soda or coffee for the caffeine which makes me sluggish. This replacement not only has the vitamins and nutrients I need in a meal bit also has a high 35g of protein AND caffeine. Using it is giving my body what it needs plus I still get my energy and caffeine boost. I ordered the power latte flavor and the flavor is delicious. I’m mixing it in a blender with ice and getting my iced gourmet coffee fix in a nutritional muscle promoting drink without the extra calories and sugars.
Highly recommend for a tasty meal replacement that makes you forget you’re getting healthy. A++++ – S D
Arrived super quick and boxed with a sample bag of chocolate ice cream flavor which is awesome so thank you it tastes great. The container was huge and secure and only takes a little bit for each meal drink so will last me a very long time! Drank a cup and felt like i drank a glass of coffee sort of (feeling wise) and started my normal routine cleaning house. Looking forward to adding to my new life style and diet. – Angelbby
THIS stuff….WOW!! So much nice flavor and a smooth taste! I like to use ice in mine and some white coffee and it’s awesome! Other times I add plain Greek yogurt and blueberries! This stuff doesn’t overpower the senses with flavor or texture! And it’s definitely helped with my weight loss! – Joleen McCollum
The Bad
Not a fan of the flavor. – Sky

The Good
I purchase the Colombian coffee flavor for the 1st time. I have tried just about all of the other flavors and just like past experiences this delivers 100 / 100 as expected. The taste the consistency the after taste everything is there. I ask everybody to ignore the bad reviewers stating that they received a fake judge because of the inconsistency in the label Print. This is false. Also I have read some reviews of people stating the flavor is bad. I ask that everybody ignore those reviews. Anyone who purchases any sort of protein powder needs to read the directions on the back because Isopure just like all other proteins requires a Certain powder to water ratio. If you mix 1 scoop with 12 oz of water it will taste watered down and disgusting, Please keep in mind that Isopure protein typically requires 2 scoops per every 10 to 12 oz of water… – William
This is my go to brand for protein powder, and my go to flavor was Dutch Chocolate. After a few canisters I was ready for something new, but afraid I would not like the flavor and would be stuck with it. I took a shot and tried the Columbina Coffee and it’s pretty freaking delicious. It has a mild iced coffee with creamer flavor, I only mixed it with water. And I’m hoping the caffein helps me get away from purchasing coffee everyday – MustLoveDogs
I fell in love with this product from the first zip. I take it before all my training as a breakfast and I could drink it every day because is like having my cafecito. It is not heavy on the stomach and easily dissolved in water. – MARIA PATINO
The Bad
The coffee flavor has caffeiene in it which messes up my recovery from cycling because it makes it difficult to sleep. The other flavors are much better and more effective as a pure protein recovery drink without the unnecessary caffeeine – karthik
Ick! If you’re looking for coffee flavor, keep searching. We had high hopes, but it’s a miss on this one. Now we’re stuck finishing it off because I’ll be darned if I flush $40+ down the drain. – karthik
The coffee flavor was not good at all o recommended getting the [easyazon_link identifier=”B07PHHKV6X” locale=”US” tag=”killermuscle09-20″]chocolate[/easyazon_link] or [easyazon_link identifier=”B07PDNBLMB” locale=”US” tag=”killermuscle09-20″]vanilla[/easyazon_link] those are 5 STARS – Anonymous

Excellent product! Very tasty and smooth. It contains a lot of fiber so it is best to mix and drink immediately, otherwise it becomes very thick! I have purchased this several times and will continue to do so. – Sharon D. Ross
This is by far the best protein powder I have tried. It has just enough sweetness without being overpowering, and no gritty taste! It does have a small amount of caffeine, but doesn’t bother me (as someone who doesn’t respond well to caffeine). – Anonymous
Wow. I just made my first shake using this protein powder and I’m very impressed. I buy a LOT here on Amazon…great prices and benefits as a Prime member. I stumbled on this by accident, and had to try it because I love Garden of Life products. I have been using Sun Warrior protein for a while and it’s by far, the best out there. High quality ingredients make it far above all others…until this. The coffee taste shines through in this protein powder. I like that you don’t need to add any sweetener, and love the fact that digesitve biotics are added as well. It’s genuinely “complete” in every way. The only drawback is the price….you only get 8 full scoops per bag…enough for a week! LOL! Wow. So what I’ve decided to do is to mix half a scoop with the chocolate Sun Warrior to make it go further. Don’t think I can use this on any sort of regular basis as I make a protein shake almost every day, and I eat mostly vegan currently. For the price, a 30 day supply of Sun Warrior is much cheaper (and it’s one of the few products that is cheaper at the Vitamin Shoppe than here at Amazon). But I have to give high marks for this product. The coffee taste, ingredients, and smooth blending, make it one of the best on the market. Thank goodness they didn’t use brown rice protein or grasses…..really a superb product and well done, GOL! One more thing. I added water and fruit to this, and I still got a great coffee flavor. Perhaps those that don’t taste coffee may be mixing their powder with some sort of nut or dairy milk (or whatever), and that is masking the flavor. – Denise
The Bad
Yuck. So mealy. Bleh. – Emma Smith
I love Garden of Life but this product was too gritty and sweet. It comes with a scoop that was way too much flavorwise. Stevia was used as a sweetener and it is very overpowering. I would return all if I could đ tried all favors and none were good, will stick with my hemp protein powder. – Jessica A. Lopez
Too chalky, which is mostly the problem with protein drinks. I would love to find a protein drink that did not have any of my allergies or sensitivities in the formula and also tasted good. I did find one, but will have to hunt it down again. EVERYTHING else has some one or more things I cannot tolerate. This one is just lacking the yum factor. – Metals Girl

great for when i don’t feel like waiting for the coffee maker to warm up. nice to get the bone broth benefits. only a little gritty at the end in the bottom of my cup. – FPK
I have been ordering this bone broth protein for quite a while and I like the coffee flavor very well. It seems to mix easier than the pure, in my opinion. I wouldnât drink the coffee later in the day due to the caffeine, so I choose this flavor for a morning or lunch drink. – Anonymous
The Bad
It has coffee grounds in it that DO NOT dissolve!!! It’s like having dirt in your broth!! I even tried to grind the powder more in a coffee grinder and it did not help!! Really awful!! I returned it!! – Becky F.
I can’t get paste the taste. I tried mixing with almond milk, tried with coffee…….now I have a whole container sitting on the kitchen counter staring at me! – M. Anderson
Was really excited to try this but the flavor and texture are absolutely awful! Stevia flavor is terrible and contains lots of coffee grounds ): Hopefully I can return this…. – Anonymous

I have tried the chocolate and loved it so much, so I decided to try the coffee – OMG!!!! It’s even better! I blend it with coconut or almond milk and I add in frozen bananas. The consistency is sometimes (depending on how many oz of frozen bananas I use) like ice cream – YUM. I am not a fitness nut, but recently started trying to just eat healthier and lose about 20 lbs. I am a 1st grade teacher, so I do move quite a bit, and added a 45 minute workout 3x a week. I love having one of these protein drinks right after my workout or for breakfast. I’ve read other reviews about the grittiness; I found if you blend it for about 2 minutes, it’s really not that gritty. – gschultz
Tastes great! This forms my breakfast meal and stops the munchies until about an hour before supper. I usually tolerate vanilla flavor but this one I like. – omomfrit
This is a reorder item for sure. I love the quality of ingredients it offers per serving. I have this as my morning breakfast shake with half of a frozen banana and a few pieces of ice, dash of cinnamon. I purchased the Marley coffee flavor and with my additions I really enjoy this in the morning.
Some have mentioned they are hungry Within a couple of hours and I experience the same feeling the first few days. After a few days of being consistent, I’m not as hungry before lunch. I would definitely reorder this as a meal replacement. – Anoymous
The Bad
I’ve had several of the Garden of Life products and I have been generally happy with them until I tried this one. The flavor is terrible! I bought the coffee flavor and honestly couldn’t identify the tiniest hint of coffee. The best description I can give would be Stale Vanilla, with a hint of plastic. The texture is also pretty terrible, gritty and unsatisfying. Not sure if I got a bad batch, but at the cost of this stuff I won’t be trying again. If you are looking for a coffee-flavored protein drink then try the Click Espresso range. – S. Foot
Asside from the fact that it has the taste and texture of ground cardboard, it does not mix well with water. AND at $33 per bottle. 10 servings per bottle, $99 per month for this stuff. Really. Lol. Massively over priced. Many MANY Others out there just as good for FAR less cost per month. Don’t waste your time on this product. – Anonymous
Caused extreme bloating & the scoops (2 are required for protein dosage) are extremely large (we’re talking baking pancakes large). The taste was less than becoming or manageable. The quality isn’t compropable to the price. – Posh Mama
