Pure coffee extract is essentially coffee in concentrated form, and it is usually found in the baking section of most supermarkets. Nielsen Massey makes a wonderful version that imparts a smooth, never bitter, coffee taste. I use it in both the Chocolate Coffee Cake and the Coffee Ice Cream, though you will find many other uses for it, too (like whipped cream, marshmallows, or hot fudge, for example).
