What began as a viral picture nicknamed “Viral Expresso” with her fellow U.S. Women’s National Team teammates has now blossomed into a full-fledged partnership.
That’s right, Portland FC soccer star Sophia Wilson has just announced her very own cold brew coffee collaboration with Stumptown Coffee, marking the company’s first-ever product co-developed with an athlete. More than a meme, this moment reflects something real, as coffee is a big part of Wilson’s daily rhythm from training to travel, and as women’s sports continue to surge in cultural relevance and commercial power, this collaboration is another example that shows what’s possible when brands bet on female athletes not just as endorsers, but as creators and partners.
Crafted using Stumptown’s signature cold brew, Wilson’s signature “Vanilla Cream Cold Brew” is inspired by her high-energy routine and endless summer vibes. It’s also topped with vanilla coconut cream to complement the cold brew’s rich, chocolate finish.

“I am so excited to team up with Stumptown because coffee comes every day for me, ” says Wilson in a statement. “It gets me through really busy days, really hard schedules. Partnering with Stumptown is a dream come true. I’ve been a coffee drinker for as long as I can remember, so to have my very own specialty coffee is something I will brag about for a long time!” she continues.
Wilson’s “Vanilla Cream Cold Brew” will be available at all Stumptown cafés in Portland, LA and NYC – alongside a limited edition merch line as well – such as mugs, tumblers, koozies, tote bags, and collectible flags.
In the fall, a new pumpkin-themed flavor will come out, making this partnership as dynamic as the seasons.
