Last minute local foodie gifts on the South Coast

Its not too late to find a great local gift for the foodie in your life!

For the healthy foodie:

Fieldstone Kombucha: Produced in Rhode Island by a South Coast local, kombucha is a drink made by fermenting sweet tea with a SCOBY - a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast.  It’s a bubbly, slightly funky brew that is thought to have a positive impact on our microbiome - our own gut microbacteria which contribute to our health.  Fieldstone is flavored with local ingredients for the freshest, most flavorful experience.  Their Winter Warmer, flavored with chai spices, makes a perfectly refreshing cool take on a warm cup of chai tea. Visit their website for a list of shops that stock this tasty brew.

For the coffee lover:

Jingle Beans: Stop by Scuttlebutt Coffee Company in the village of Padanaram to pick up treats for your favorite coffee connoisseur.  You’ll find the village at its most picturesque, decorated with white christmas lights for the holidays, and inside you can buy a bag of Jingle Beans, the Tandem Roasters holiday blend coffee beans, or a Fellow Carter Move Mug, their new to-go mug offering which comes with such thoughtful details as a splash guard for when you need to get your coffee to go.  

For the nostalgic Southcoaster:

Silmo Coffee Syrup: If you’re a South Coaster of a certain age, you may fondly remember Silmo Coffee Syrup, a family-owned brand that shut its doors in 2000 after being the first to manufacture coffee syrup right here in New Bedford.  Good news: Silmo is back!  Thus far only available at pop-up shops, keep your eyes peeled for the retro reboot of this classic coffee syrup brand.  This makes a great gift to bring or send to the far-flung South Coast native looking for a little taste of home.  

For the foodie/history lover who has it all: 

New Bedford Food Tour Gift Card: A New Bedford Food Tour gift card makes the perfect gift for the person who has it all! This is a great last minute gift because you can print it off immediately. Gift cards can be applied to any of our tours or products.  Want a prettier card? Send us your address and we can put one in the mail, or stop by one of our gift card pop-ups to buy a card in person!
