Spring is in the air and nothing beats a cold, refreshing iced coffee while daydreaming about sunnier days and warm-weather breezes. Mix in some of the top coffee shops, and it’s a new beginning to renew and recharge. Plus, caffeine can help with that. Here are three places in Pittsburgh that are twisting recipes up on the iced coffee game.
de Fer Coffee & Tea
With three locations and counting, de Fer Coffee & Tea is flourishing around the ‘Burgh with some delicious spring renewal treats. Try the Honey Jasmine Latte that evokes a floral and slightly sweet taste or a Vanilla Foam Cold Brew as a classic pick-me-up.
BeanThru
Featured on MSNBC, Buzzfeed, and Food Network, BeanThru serves up the ultimate creativity in seasonal drinks. Try a Rice Krispie Treat Latte or a personal favorite — an iced lavender latte with an extra shot of espresso — to try something adventurous and new. Plus, the baristas serve up rotating features and can make basically anything from their customizable menu list of flavors and syrups.
The small and mighty coffee drive-thrus recently expanded their footprint to Allegheny General Hospital’s Northside Campus. This one’s for you, healthcare heroes — cheers!
La Prima Espresso Co.
Did you know that one dollar from each pound bag of coffee sold benefits Astrobitc’s Moonshot Museum and 412 Food Rescue. Here’s to aerospace innovation and fighting food insecurity in Pittsburgh!
As the days get warmer, cool off at La Prima Espresso Co. in Strip District and slurp on a Granita di Caffè con Panna. It’s a robust, iced coffee slushy topped with freshly-made whipped cream. This new drink is inspired by La Prima’s travels to Rome and Caffè Tazza d’Oro & Sant’ Eustachio il Caffè located near the Pantheon. Travel worldwide by traveling right to the Strip District!
