It’s getting hot. And soon, we're about to hit that brutally, unapologetically, iced-coffee-before-9-a.m. phase of summer. Alas, even on the hottest days, one thing remains non-negotiable: coffee.
Enter cold brew — smoother than regular iced coffee, stronger than it looks, and, in some cases, topped with enough cold foam to feel like a treat and a survival strategy. Whether you like yours classic, creamy, fruity, or strong enough to power through a full inbox, these local cold brews are worth adding to your summer rotation.
Landmark Coffee — Grapevine
For something a little more crafted, Landmark Coffee’s Cold Cream Cold Brew is a summer standout. Made with housemade vanilla syrup and topped with cold cream, it hits that perfect middle ground between refreshing and dessert-adjacent without going overboard.
33 Peaks — Southlake
33 Peaks brings a little extra texture to the table with its Nitro Brew with Hazelnut Cold Foam. The nitro gives the cold brew a smooth, velvety finish, while the hazelnut cold foam adds just enough sweetness and flavor to make it feel special. It’s the kind of order that turns a quick coffee stop into a small reward.
La La Land Kind Cafe - Southlake
La La Land’s Strawberry Cloud Cold Brew is for anyone who likes their coffee with a little personality. Fruity, creamy and highly photogenic, it brings a bright strawberry twist to cold brew season. It’s unexpected in the best way — and very much made for sipping slowly.
Redefined Coffee House — Grapevine
Need the strongest drink on the menu? Redefined’s Nitro Cold Brew is not playing around. This 12-ounce pour features uncut Guatemalan cold brew, lightly sweetened with handmade simple syrup and run through a nitrogen kegerator for a smooth, foamy finish. Translation: it’s bold, strong and ready to carry you through the afternoon slump.
Because what coffee list would be complete without it? Starbucks remains the easy, reliable go-to when you need cold brew fast, and the Vanilla Protein Cold Foam Cold Brew makes a strong case for itself. It’s smooth, lightly sweet and topped with creamy vanilla protein cold foam — because protein is having a moment, and who are we to judge?
