We had a fantastic launch event for SOWN's new Oat Cold Foaming Cream at a pop-up in NYC, right in time for National Coffee Day! ☕ SOWN stole the show with delicious sips, bringing that coffeehouse experience straight to the heart of the city. Huge thanks to everyone who celebrated with us, including Bachelor Nation’s Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt! Have you had the chance to try it yet? Let us know what you think! #FoamWithSOWN #NationalCoffeeDay #SOWNPlantBased #WholeFoodsMarket
