What if your morning coffee tasted like a trip to the ice cream parlor? Aldi just made that dream a delicious reality with the new Barissimo Banana Split Ice Cream Ground Coffee — a 100% arabica medium roast that smells and tastes like dessert, for just $6.69 a bag. If you missed it when it first dropped on June 3, there’s still time to grab it before this limited-time Aldi Find disappears for good.
Dessert in a Coffee Bag? Yes, Really.
Aldi’s Barissimo brand has built a cult following among budget coffee lovers, but this summer drop might be its most fun yet. The Banana Split Ice Cream coffee packs all the nostalgic flavors of a classic banana split — creamy banana, sweet vanilla, and a hint of chocolate — into a 12-ounce bag of ground, 100% arabica beans. It’s medium roasted for a smooth, balanced cup that isn’t overwhelmingly sweet — just a dreamy, dessert-adjacent vibe that makes dragging yourself out of bed a whole lot easier.
And it’s not flying solo — Aldi also dropped a Mint Chocolate Chip flavor at the same time. If you’re more of a cool-and-chocolatey person, there’s a bag with your name on it. Both run $6.69 for 12 ounces — a genuinely impressive deal for flavored specialty coffee. A comparable bag at a specialty roaster easily runs $15–$18.
“It’s like dessert in a mug — banana split flavor without the $6 coffee shop price tag.”
How to Make the Most of Your Banana Split Brew
This coffee was made for summer sipping. Brew it strong and pour it over ice for a quick at-home iced coffee that tastes way more fancy than it costs. Add a splash of vanilla creamer or a drizzle of chocolate sauce and you’ve got a legit dessert coffee rivaling anything from your local café. Feeling extra? Top it with whipped cream and a cherry. Banana split in a glass — you’re welcome.
It pairs beautifully with Aldi’s other sweet summer finds. We’re thinking a mug of this alongside the $3.99 Stracciatella Cookie Sandwich sounds like the perfect Saturday morning. And if you’ve been riding the wave of Aldi’s dessert-inspired drops this season, you already know the brand has been on fire — don’t miss the $3.99 Dubai Chocolate Gelato before that one vanishes too.
Why Aldi Finds Always Sell Out (And What to Do About It)
Here’s the reality with Aldi Finds: once they’re gone, they’re gone. These limited-edition items aren’t restocked, and popular ones can fly off shelves within days of landing. Flavored coffees like this attract both dedicated Aldi shoppers and curious first-timers who spot them on social — and that combo clears shelves fast. The Barissimo Banana Split and Mint Choc Chip dropped June 3, which means if you haven’t been to your local Aldi lately, this is a race against time.
The best strategy? Hit your store on a weekday morning when shelves are freshest, and if you love it, grab two bags. Aldi doesn’t do loyalty programs or rain checks — stocking up is always the smart play on limited Finds. Think of the $6.69 as a low-risk experiment: worst case, you’ve got a solid medium roast arabica that just happens to smell incredible.
The Bottom Line
Aldi’s Barissimo Banana Split Ice Cream Ground Coffee is the kind of fun, frivolous, totally-worth-it summer find that makes grocery shopping genuinely exciting. At $6.69 for 12 ounces of 100% arabica with real dessert vibes, it’s a no-brainer add to your cart. Grab the Mint Chocolate Chip while you’re at it — do a flavored coffee taste-off at home and find your summer mood.
🛒 Head to your nearest Aldi now and check the coffee aisle before these limited-time flavors disappear. And while you’re there, swing by the frozen aisle for the $4.99 Stuffed Waffles — the perfect breakfast companion for your new banana split brew.
