Is there any food that Dolly Parton won’t turn her hand to? Frankly, we’re not sure there is. The always-prolific country star’s range of food products has to be seen to be believed, and they just keep on coming. Frozen meals? You got it. Holiday sugar cookies? You betcha. Blondie bars? Well, it’s only fitting.

And now, Parton’s turning her hand to the drink that’ll get you through your 9 to 5. A Cup of Ambition? It’s yours for the taking.
Cup Of Ambition
In mid-June, Dolly announced the launch of Cup of Ambition, her new coffee brand, in partnership with Community Coffee. In typical Partonian fashion, she released a statement brimming with character and charm to mark the release – and not one to truncate anything that Dolly Parton says, here it is, in all its glory. “I’ve spent a lifetime workin’ 9 to 5, 5 to 9, and every hour in between! It takes a lot of energy to pursue your passion and navigate each day. That’s why I wanted to make a coffee that works just as hard,” Parton said in the coffee’s press release. “You know, I begin each morning with a head full of dreams, a notepad full of ideas, and a cup or two of coffee. Whether you’re chasing dreams, tackling that to-do list, or just enjoying a quiet morning at home. I hope it brings a smile with every sip.”
Personally, I need no more convincing than that to try this coffee, but in case you did, here are some more details. Cup of Ambition will be available in Light, Medium, and Dark roasts and will get a full release later this year. If you want to try it now, though, you can swing by Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop, which opened June 24, 2026, off Exit 22 on I-65 south of Nashville, and which is yet another addition to her extensive portfolio.
Celebrity Brews
Dolly Parton isn’t the only famous face to expand their footprint in the coffee world this year. Back in March, Tom Hanks’ coffee brand (which is very appropriately called HANKS) announced that it would be stocked at Walmart stores across the US, following an earlier, more limited release of its products. And if you’re not in the mood to indulge in the roasts sold by Hanks and Parton, you can take your pick of those sold by Jennifer Lopez, Hugh Jackman, Emma Chamberlain, or Leonardo DiCaprio. They’re all getting involved!
