Los Angeles Coffee Chain Go Get Em Tiger Switches to Elmhurst’s Seed Oil-Free Oat Milk

Los Angeles-based coffee chain Go Get Em Tiger has announced a partnership with plant-based dairy producer Elmhurst 1925, making Elmhurst’s Oat Barista Edition the exclusive oat milk at all eight of its locations. With this shift, Go Get Em Tiger has completed its transition to offering only seed oil-free milk options.

Elmhurst’s Oat Barista Edition is formulated without seed oils, gums, or emulsifiers, aligning with Go Get Em Tiger’s focus on simple and high-quality ingredients. The partnership reflects an increasing demand for plant-based alternatives in the coffee sector, particularly those without additives commonly found in conventional non-dairy milks.

Yuri Polyachenko, senior director of food service at Elmhurst 1925, stated, “Today’s coffee lovers are paying closer attention to what’s in their cup, seeking high-quality plant milks that are free from seed oils, gums, and fillers. Now more than ever, coffee shops are expected to use the same premium ingredients that customers would choose for their own kitchens.”

Elmhurst’s clean-label production

Elmhurst 1925, originally a dairy company, rebranded in 2016 to focus on plant-based products, producing a range of non-dairy milks using its HydroRelease™ method. This process, which uses water to separate and reassemble the nutritional components of nuts, grains, and seeds, avoids the use of emulsifiers and upcycles waste into energy. The company also incorporates sustainability initiatives, including the use of recyclable packaging and renewable hydroelectric power.

Go Get Em Tiger CEO Elena Ceridono noted the company’s commitment to ingredient quality: “For us, it’s all about giving our guests the best experience possible. That means choosing ingredients that align with our values—simple, high-quality, and delicious.”

The partnership is now in effect, with Elmhurst’s oat milk available at all Go Get Em Tiger locations across Los Angeles.
