A MORNING FAVORITE, REIMAGINED

Coffee lovers are increasingly seeking unique flavor experiences, with 62% of consumers interested in trying new and adventurous coffee drinks.¹ Featuring Ziggi’s fan-favorite iced latte topped with Philadelphia cream cheese cold foam and finished with everything bagel seasoning, the Philadelphia Everything Bagel Latte taps into this growing flavor curiosity. Combining the unmistakable, savory flavor of an everything bagel and cream cheese with a smooth touch of sweetness from the latte and cold foam, the Philadelphia Everything Bagel Latte is a deliciously unexpected take on a familiar morning favorite.

"The Philadelphia Everything Bagel Latte is a fun way to showcase the versatility of our cream cheese while staying true to the flavor combination consumers already know and love," said Traci Graziani, Head of Away From Home Brand & Trade Marketing for Philadelphia Cream Cheese. “For over 150 years, Philadelphia has brought creamy, delicious flavor to the foods people love most. Whether on a bagel, in a recipe or now in your morning coffee, Philadelphia continues to deliver the creamy taste that makes every bite—or sip— Really Philly Good."

This new take on a morning classic is also a natural extension of what Ziggi’s already does best. The Everything Bagel Breakfast Sandwich is consistently one of the brand’s top-selling breakfast items and flavored iced lattes are the backbone of its coffee menu. For Ziggi’s, this partnership is also a chance to showcase something that sets the brand apart: its food. Rather than viewing food as a sideline, Ziggi’s has built an extensive food menu in the category – a full lineup of breakfast sandwiches, bakery items, handhelds, and snacks that guests come back for as much as the coffee. The Philadelphia Everything Bagel Latte brings that food-and-coffee philosophy to life in a single sip, built on the flavors Ziggi’s fans already love. It’s a natural fit for a brand where food and drink have always belonged together – and a fun new way to prove it.

“We’re always looking for partnerships that let us do something we haven’t done before – and this one took us further than any of them,” said Stacey Kane, Chief Strategic Projects & Partnerships, Ziggi’s Coffee. “Ziggi’s has done seasonal, we’ve done bold, but savory is a new territory for our drink lineup. Philadelphia was the right partner to get there with because this isn’t just a flavor mashup – it’s built on a bagel breakfast sandwich flavor our guests already love. That’s what makes this feel like a match made in breakfast heaven, and a drink that earns its moment.”

CREAM CHEESE IS MORE THAN JUST A SPREAD

As consumers continue to embrace cream cheese beyond its traditional role as a spread for bagels or toast, Philadelphia is finding new ways to showcase its versatility across cooking, baking, snacking — and now beverages. The Philadelphia Everything Bagel Latte demonstrates how a beloved ingredient can unlock new flavor experiences while staying true to the creamy taste fans know and love.

The Philadelphia Everything Bagel Latte is available from August 11 through August 17 at participating Ziggi's Coffee locations nationwide while supplies last. Find a Ziggi’s location near you here or follow Philadelphia and Ziggi’s on Instagram for more information.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia bombarded Ukrainian cities with missiles, drones and glide bombs, killing at least nine civilians, officials said Tuesday, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Moscow is receiving new military help for its more than 4-year-old invasion from North Korea.

Zelenskyy said Russian forces used ballistic missiles supplied by North Korea in their overnight attack on the southeastern Ukraine city of Zaporizhzhia, where local officials said six people were killed and 19 wounded.

A further three people, including a 15-year-old boy, were killed by Russian drones and artillery in the central Dnipropetrovsk region, local authorities said.

Russia has received additional ballistic missiles from Pyongyang and is preparing to deploy more North Korean troops, Zelenskyy said late Monday.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed a strategic partnership agreement just over two years ago. It vows mutual aid if either country faces aggression.

Kim has sent thousands of troops and huge supplies of weapons to support Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Some experts say the engagement with Moscow is helping improve North Korea’s military capabilities, and Zelenskyy warned that the battlefield experience would help Pyongyang menace other countries in its region.

Ukraine says Russia is scaling up its production of ballistic missiles, aiming to exploit Kyiv’s critical shortage of Patriot air defense interceptors that can stop them, and claims Moscow is readying an increase in recruitment for a new push on the front line that stretches 1,250 kilometers (775 miles) along eastern and southern Ukraine.

“Every step Russia takes — increasing ballistic missile production, bringing in North Korean equipment, preparing for mobilization — all of this shows that Moscow is preparing not for peace, but for escalation,” Zelenskyy said on social media.

U.S.-led diplomatic efforts to stop the war have fizzled as Washington grew frustrated with the lack of progress toward a settlement and its attention turned to the Iran war.

“The Kremlin will not enter serious negotiations or make meaningful compromises on its demands as long as Putin believes that he has a viable military path to achieving his full objectives,” the Institute for the Study of War, a Washington-based think tank, said in an analysis late Monday.

“Ukraine’s Patriot shortages offer Russia an opportunity to cause very serious damage to Ukraine over the coming winter and will therefore contribute to delaying meaningful negotiations and protracting the war,” it said.

Russian forces also struck parts of the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, overnight, according to officials. One strike hit the grounds of a children’s hospital, leaving two craters and shattering windows, the State Emergency Service said. Children and medical workers were in bomb shelters and nobody was hurt, it added.

At another location in the capital, a Russian strike started a fire in a warehouse that spread across about 1,200 square meters (nearly 13,000 square feet), according to emergency officials.

The Russian Defense Ministry said that its forces overnight struck “military industrial facilities and transport and logistics centers” in Kyiv and Zaporizhzhia with “ground-based precision weapons.”

It said in a statement Tuesday that it hit civilian storage facilities in Kyiv that were housing drones and a metallurgical plant in the city of Zaporizhzhia.

Russia targeted Zaporizhzhia and Kyiv with Zircon anti-ship missiles and Iskander ballistic missiles, while launching 120 long-range strike drones of various types across the country, Ukraine’s air force said.

Meanwhile, the Russian Defense Ministry said that its air defenses overnight intercepted almost 400 Ukrainian drones over 14 Russian regions and occupied Crimea.

Russia’s biggest online retailer, Wildberries, said in a statement that its logistical facilities in the Voronezh region on the border with Ukraine came under attack and caught fire, but it said the fire has been extinguished. It said goods stored at the facilities were “largely undamaged.”

Ukraine has repeatedly struck Wildberries warehouses and has also bombarded Russian oil facilities in what it says is a strategy to compel Putin to negotiate an end to the invasion.

Ukraine’s General Staff said that overnight, its forces struck the Orsknefteorgsintez oil refinery in Russia’s Orenburg region, about 1,500 kilometers (930 miles) from Ukraine’s border, causing a fire.

The refinery, which has an annual processing capacity of about 44 million barrels of crude oil, produces gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel, among other petroleum products. The extent of the damage was being assessed, the military said.
