Organic Valley set up such a storefront recently, then watched gleefully as New Yorkers streamed in and shelled out the cash without missing a beat.

The stunt was set up for the purposes of the farmer-owned food brand's latest commercial, which is meant to highlight the pretensions of hip big-city coffee culture.

The commercial centers on a folksy-seeming Organic Valley farmer named Gerrit van Tol, who delivers a straight-faced parody of every artisan-brand cliche in the book along his quest to open the fake pop-up boutique.

"If you want to be taken seriously in the coffee world," he matter-of-factly advises. "You need a tiny storefront in a hip neighborhood in New York City."

The commercial is full of on-point asides like that — van Tol thinks he needs "some modern logo with an 'X' in it or some arrows;" he describes a cow as his "secret barista;" and he takes pains to explain the various types of plants that go into the animals' "grass blend."

"There's a real 'grassiness' to it," he says of "rye grass from New Zealand" as he takes a bite.
