Now that summer is in fun swing, you might feel like you’ve tried all the summer flavors in all the different ways. But I promise you, you haven’t! Our local baristas have crafted some really special beverages that capture summer in a cup. Whether you’re looking for a sweet latte, a fruity espresso tonic, or something in between, these limited-time choices are the perfect way to celebrate the season and caffeinate all of your summer outings with the kiddos! (Seriously, how are all the days so long and hot?!) So, here are some of the most exciting summer coffee drinks in Birmingham; be sure to get them while they’re available!
- Baba Java‘s fan favorite Lemon Icebox Latte is back! This drink is a surprisingly perfect combination of lemon, white chocolate, and their locally roasted espresso. It’s available hot, iced, or shaken, but you should get the shaken one. Trust me.
- Cala Coffee‘s Cala-Cola is summer nostalgia in a cup. Cold Brew coffee, cola, and cherry-hibiscus cold foam together is like an adult version of the cherry cola many of us loved in childhood.
- Daysol Coffee Lab‘s Summer Thyme latte is a true summertime treat. This latte with a mix of strawberry and thyme is a fruity, herb-y, perfectly-balanced beverage.
- Domestique Coffee‘s PB&J latte might be the most unique drink on this list. This latte has House made peanut butter and blueberry syrup. If you want to feel like a kid again, but also get your caffeine in, this one is for you!
- June Coffee‘s June Boba is THE fusion drink of the season. Espresso, milk, Japanese brown sugar syrup, and tapioca pearls are topped with cream in this Asian-inspired latte.
- Prevail Coffee‘s Grapefruit Espresso Tonic may sound odd, but hear me out. Espresso, tonic water, and grapefruit really do work together to make the most refreshing, and interesting, beverage!
- Santos Coffee‘s Coconut Vanilla Shaken Espresso a must-try! This espresso, shaken with both coconut and vanilla is a great summer afternoon indulgence. Small joys are everything!
- Seeds Coffee‘s Banana Guard Coffee is iced coffee topped with banana cold foam. What’s not to love about this combo, especially during this time of year?
