Coffee buckets popular on social media now available at Waynesville shop

Taylor’s Coffee & Creamery also sells ice cream flights, latte popsicles.

Since opening in October, Taylor’s Coffee & Creamery in Waynesville has added several new items to their menu including the viral 34 oz. coffee buckets.

“In 2025, I think you rely a lot on social media for seeing what’s trending and seeing what people are interested in,” said Julie Abel, who owns the business with Jona Powell and Angie Wagner. “We kept seeing TikToks for coffee buckets, but everywhere we looked they were on the West Coast or big cities.”

The owners launched the coffee buckets on July 4 and within four hours they had sold out. They have since restocked with bucket deliveries almost every day.

“It’s been the best chaos that we could have asked for,” Abel said.

The 34 oz. coffee bucket features an iced latte with four shots of espresso. Customers can choose the flavors and the milk used. Non-dairy options are available. It costs $9.85.

Those who bring their bucket back for a refill will receive $1 off.

Favorite latte flavors for the bucket includes the s’mores, as well as strawberry shortcake or coconut cream pie.

“The bigger the coffee the better,” Abel said. “I think people just look for the small joys in life.”

Other new items that have recently launched include latte popsicles and ice cream sundae flights.

The latte popsicles come in an “ice pop” sleeve and are $3 each. Flavors include vanilla, caramel, mocha, strawberry shortcake and coconut cream pie. Dairy-free options are available as well.

“They are our favorites lattes just made cold because it’s 90 degrees outside and sometimes you just need a cold, sweet treat,” Abel said.

The ice cream sundae flights feature four mini sundaes for $16. Flavors include strawberry crunch, buckeye, turtle and s’mores.

When Taylor’s Coffee & Creamery opened, they started off with latte flights. They knew they would eventually have an ice cream flight, but wasn’t sure how to go about it.

The business is limited on space, but that doesn’t mean they’re limited on options, Abel said.

Taylor’s Coffee & Creamery have several new items on the horizon including milkshakes.

“It’s the small town charm,” Abel said. “Waynesville truly is a little storybook town. It’s such a quaint, little town where everyone knowns each other and I think that’s what makes it special.”
