Pride Month is more than parades and glitter, it’s also about community, visibility, and yes, a chance to indulge. This June, two standout food brands are dishing up festive flavor with a side of support for LGBTQ+ causes. Goldbelly is delivering nationwide joy with its Pride Collection, while Coffee Project New York is brewing up a legacy of queer excellence in every cup. Whether you’re craving a rainbow cookie or a Pandan Latte, this is your sign to eat, and sip, proudly.
Goldbelly’s Pride Collection: Colorful, Delicious, and Charitable
Goldbelly, the gourmet food marketplace known for shipping iconic eats nationwide, is back with its annual Pride Collection, and it’s a confectionary dream come true. Featuring an array of eye-popping, limited-edition treats from beloved bakeries and restaurants, the collection offers a sweet way to celebrate and give back.
Here are some standout bites you won’t want to miss:
-
Tipsy Scoop x Real Sangria Rainbow Sorbet (4 pints, $99.95): A boozy burst of summer with Spanish wine, peach, and wild berry flavors. It’s the dessert equivalent of dancing on a rooftop at golden hour. A portion of proceeds benefits NYC Pride.
-
Sweet E’s Bakeshop Love is Love Cookies + Cake Pops ($95.95): Six rainbow heart cookies and six cake pops make for the perfect party plate or a self-care snack spread. Because love (and dessert) is for everyone.
-
Zola Bakes Rainbow Cookies 20-Pack ($59.00): A glammed-up take on the classic tri-color cookie, complete with a chocolate drip. $5 from each box goes directly to The Trevor Project.
-
Dessert Gallery Pride Rainbow Cake ($64.95): This towering treat has vibrant rainbow layers on the inside and out. Because if your dessert doesn’t come out this month, what are we even doing?
That’s not all, several vendors are giving back to local and national LGBTQ+ nonprofits. Wilbur’s of Maine donates proceeds from its Pride Chocolate Bars to Equality Maine, and La Newyorkina supports queer-focused organizations with sales from their Rainbow Pride Popsicles.
So, whether you’re hosting a Pride party or sending a long-distance sweet to a friend, Goldbelly makes it easy to taste the rainbow, and support it, too.

Coffee Project New York: Queer-Owned and Brewing a Better Future
In a world where rainbow capitalism runs rampant, it’s refreshing to spotlight a queer-owned business that walks the walk all year long. Enter Coffee Project New York, the brainchild of partners Chi Sum Ngai and Kaleena Teoh. What began in 2015 as a tiny East Village café has blossomed into a seven-location empire that’s changing the coffee game from bean to cup.
And this isn’t your average caffeine chain. Coffee Project NY is redefining what coffee culture looks like by centering values of sustainability, inclusivity, and transparency.
Here’s what makes them stand out:
-
Innovation on the menu: Signature drinks like the Kickass London Fog, Deconstructed Latte, and Pandan Latte turn your daily cup into a conversation piece.
-
Education as empowerment: They launched New York’s first Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) Premier Training Campus, nurturing the next generation of coffee professionals from all backgrounds.
-
Ethical sourcing: From partnering with minority-owned farms to uplifting overlooked regions, they’re ensuring every pour-over supports a more just and equitable industry.
Coffee Project isn’t just serving drinks, it’s brewing a movement. During Pride and beyond, they continue to create spaces where identity and impact go hand in hand.
Sip and Snack with Pride
Whether you’re sending rainbow sweets across the country with Goldbelly or grabbing your daily fix at a queer-owned café like Coffee Project NY, Pride Month is a delicious excuse to support businesses that give back.
Because let’s be real: nothing tastes better than equality.
