From Earth to Orbit: Our Story

At Torus Coffee Company, we believe snacks should be as magical as the cosmos. Born from a love of flavor, fantasy, and fun, we specialize in enchanting freeze-dried creations—crunchy, colorful, and delightfully unexpected. From fruity bursts like Aurora Bites and Sour Aurora Bites to cosmic delights like Solar Strawberries and Apple Zephyr Chips, each bite is crafted to surprise and delight stargazers, sweet tooths, and curious snackers alike.

Based in Iowa City, we bring our treats to life both online and in-person at local markets, festivals, and pop-ups—sharing joy one crunchy bite at a time. Our mission is simple: turn everyday sweets into stellar experiences, powered by creativity, curiosity, and a touch of cosmic magic.

We’re so glad you found us.

— With cosmic love,
Thank you for your patronage.
