Moka Energy Named “Best Energy Bar” in Food Network’s 2026 Best of the Best Awards
PRESS RELEASE posted by Moka Energy
Caramel Cappuccino Coffee Bean Bar joins 25 standout winners following Food Network’s evaluation of more than 250 products
ROCHESTER, N.Y., October 23, 2026 — Moka Energy, the Rochester company behind real coffee you can eat, has been named “Best Energy Bar” in Food Network’s 2026 Best of the Best Awards. The recognition honors Moka’s Caramel Cappuccino Coffee Bean Bar as one of 25 winners selected from more than 250 products Food Network’s shopping experts tested and reviewed this year.
In its October 13 awards feature, Food Network praised the bar’s “creamy texture and rich coffee flavor,” highlighting its combination of taste and functionality. The latest distinction follows Moka Energy’s earlier selection as one of Food Network’s favorite trending products from the 2026 Summer Fancy Food Show.
“We started Moka with a simple question: what if you could enjoy real coffee without needing a cup?” said Tom Seymour, co-founder and CEO of Moka Energy. “To see Food Network recognize the taste and experience we’ve worked so hard to create is incredibly meaningful. We’re a small team with a big idea, and moments like this remind us why we started.”
Moka Energy transforms roasted coffee into a smooth, portable coffee bean bar. Each 32-gram bar provides 90 mg of naturally occurring caffeine, with no chocolate. Vegan and gluten-free, the bars are available in three flavors: Dark Roast Coffee, Vanilla Latte and Caramel Cappuccino. Created for coffee lovers on the move, Moka brings the familiar coffee experience to commutes, travel, busy workdays and moments when a cup is not convenient.
“We’re grateful to the customers, retailers and partners who have helped us bring something different into the world,” Seymour added. “We’re excited about how far Moka has come, and we’re just getting started.”
