The iced coffee pairing guide
Cold brew with chocolate? Iced latte with berry? We tested every combination so you do not have to.

Summer is iced coffee season, and our baristas have strong opinions. So we spent a very caffeinated afternoon pairing every drink on the menu with every donut in the case.
The winners
Cold brew and dark chocolate is the classic for a reason: the bitterness of both makes them taste less sweet together. An iced oat latte with the rose-pistachio was the surprise hit, creamy and floral without being perfume-y.
The only true flop was espresso tonic with red velvet. Some things are not meant to be. Ask at the counter for the full pairing card.
