Coffee Crisp wafer bar

Coffee Crisp is a beloved confectionery brand that has become a staple of Canadian candy culture. Originally introduced in the 1930s, the product consists of alternating layers of vanilla wafer and coffee-flavored foamy candy, all enrobed in a smooth milk chocolate coating. Its distinct texture and flavor profile have maintained its popularity for nearly a century.

While the brand's roots are tied to the United Kingdom through the original Rowntree's company, Coffee Crisp has been manufactured primarily at the Sterling Road factory in Toronto, Canada, since its inception. This deep-rooted Canadian manufacturing history has led many to consider it a quintessential Canadian snack, despite its international ownership.

Today, the brand is owned and managed by Nestlé, the world's largest food and beverage conglomerate. Nestlé acquired the brand through its purchase of Rowntree Mackintosh in 1988. Under Nestlé's stewardship, Coffee Crisp continues to be produced and marketed with a focus on its heritage, while benefiting from the global distribution and R&D capabilities of its parent company headquartered in Switzerland.
