Isabel’s love for coffee started early and only grew stronger during her college years at USC. Mornings began with a fitness class, followed by a latte on the way back to her dorm—then another on the way to class, and often another in the afternoon. When she transitioned into the fast-paced world of consulting, coffee became even more essential, fueling long days that started at the airport and ended late at client sites. But finding a great grab-and-go latte was nearly impossible—most were filled with artificial sweeteners, unnecessary oils, and ingredients that didn’t sit well with her dairy sensitivity.
Everything changed when she discovered A2 dairy. Unlike conventional dairy, A2 was creamy, indulgent, and easy on the gut. That revelation led to the creation of Laurel’s—a line of simple, high-quality canned lattes designed for life on the go, without the downsides. Now, coffee lovers can enjoy a rich, barista-level latte anytime, anywhere, without compromise.
With Laurel’s, Isabel set out to make a coffee experience worth looking forward to—because a grab-and-go latte should be just as satisfying as one from your favorite café.
