Get ready for a shakeup, FOUR new seasonal drinks arrive today! Our summer menu shines bright with themes of orange zest, toasted coconut and a healthy layer of cold foam.
We start with the Orange Creamsicle Matcha, a sure-to-be favorite with its housemade cold foam and orange sugar garnish.
Our Mont Blanc Cold Coffee stays true to its beginnings as an Australian favorite, complete with vanilla cream cold foam and freshly grated nutmeg - a fitting tribute.
Vegan cold foam is the star of the Toasted Coconut Latte, complimented by crunchy bits of coconut shreds on top. Try it both iced and hot!
For the days that need a light and refreshing fix, the Shaken Yuzu Iced Tea checks every box with its rotating base of iced teas and a tart, fruity finish.
Starting today, summer signature drinks are available at all coffeebar locations. We’re excited to share each one with you this season, cheers!

A long-celebrated ritual, matcha service is a pillar of our coffeebar experience.
Our signature matcha blend is crafted from premium shaded tea cultivars in Kagoshima, Japan, prized for their vibrant green hue and deep umami flavor with a sweet, smooth finish.

A toast to the cities that shaped us.
Chicago is where we started, and Los Angeles is where we first grew beyond it. Both cities have influenced how we think about coffee, hospitality, and what it means to show up for a neighborhood.
Our two newest mugs are for them. Find them online and in our Chicago and LA coffeebars.
