Photos: Dolly Parton's Cup of Ambition Coffee Now Available Online

Dolly Parton's Cup of Ambition, described as a dream of the late global icon's more than 40 years in the making, is now officially available for purchase nationwide. Developed in partnership with family-owned Community Coffee, the collection brings together Dolly's love of coffee and unmistakable spirit in a coffee line she helped create to give coffee lovers everywhere the chance to brew a cup inspired by one of the world's most beloved icons.

'I thought the Cup of Ambition would be a fantastic name for a coffee brand, and I've been working towards this for over 40 years,' shared Dolly back in June when she was visiting Dolly's Tennessean Travel Stop. 'This is just one of those dreams that's taken a little longer than I thought it might, but we've got it and it's working. I can't wait for you to try it. But I couldn't be more happy with it. Community Coffee has been a fantastic partner for me and I like the way they think.'

Following its debut at Dolly's Tennessean Travel Stop, the coffee line is now available for nationwide shipping on CupOfAmbition.com, CommunityCoffee.com, TikTok Shop and other major retailers online, including Amazon.com and Walmart.com, making it easier than ever for people to enjoy the same great coffee from the comfort of home.

Available in Light, Medium and Dark Roast varieties, the collection offers a cup for every Dolly fan and coffee lover, from bright and smooth to rich and bold. Available for pre-order in K-Cup pods and available now in ground coffee, the lineup provides convenient options for a variety of preferences.

The collaboration between Dolly Parton and Community Coffee began with a shared appreciation for quality coffee, family and community. Cup of Ambition reflects that connection, bringing together Dolly's personal vision for her first coffee line with Community Coffee's longstanding expertise in crafting coffee since 1919. New photos show Dolly alongside Donna Saurage, Community Coffee's third-generation owner, highlighting the strong connection they shared and the values that brought them together.

'Dolly had a warmth that made you feel like you'd known her forever,' said Donna Saurage, third-generation owner of Community Coffee. 'We connected over our love of family, serving our communities and bringing people together, and it was a true joy to help make her dream of a Cup of Ambition coffee become a reality.'

Dolly brought her Cup of Ambition coffee to life on camera in July 2026, filming three commercials for the brand and shared in her own words what the coffee line meant to her. The first spot, released September 29, as part of a fall advertising campaign, shows Dolly getting ready for her day with a Cup Of Ambition.

The animation was brought to life by an amazing team of talented creatives. The animation was illustrated by Katie Reed of She Got Good & Monica Woodward of Happy Web Co, animated by Joel Robertson of Fourthcrown, directed by TK McKamy, produced by Olly Rowland of NOZ Entertainment, colored by Rodney Williams of Big Finish and video edited by Adam Davis of CTK Enterprises.

Every cup of Cup of Ambition coffee helps support Dolly Parton's Imagination Library and its mission to inspire a love of reading in children from birth to age five. Community Coffee will serve as the anchor funding partner for Lafayette Parish, expanding its commitment to early childhood literacy in its home state of Louisiana. Consumers can also join in supporting the mission by making an optional donation to Imagination Library at checkout on CupofAmbition.com.
