The Au Café Approach

Au Café Coffee Rub was crafted for high-heat cooking and bold, ingredient-driven flavor.

No heavy marinades. No binders (no oil, butter, mustard). No unnecessary additives.

Bring proteins to room temperature, season lightly, allow the blend to rest briefly, then cook over the grill, in a cast-iron skillet, or using your preferred method.

The result is a flavorful crust with deep roasted notes that enhance the natural richness of the food without masking it.

Pair with Boreal Pepper for steakhouse-quality flavor.


Why Customers Love Au Café

Au Café Coffee Rub delivers the richness of freshly roasted Arabica coffee, balanced with maple sweetness and savory spices, creating steakhouse-quality flavor that's equally at home on the grill or in the kitchen. Try it on a cauliflower steak or brussell sprouts too!

A little goes a long way.
