Hey gang! My sister and I feel like we are constantly on the hunt for cute coffee shops and delicious iced coffees during the summer. Although there are always plenty of cute local places we have also discovered some of the BEST iced coffees in chain restaurants that are located through out the country. If you missed my blog post on
three ways to make iced coffee at home, make sure to check that out too!
Alrighty let's dive into my top 4 places!
#4: Starbucks
This is kind of a no-brainer. If you want an overpriced iced coffee with a consistent taste and good flavor this is your place. They also offer the most choices as far as personalizing your drink of any place so that is often favorable to those with allergies or diet restrictions. My personal favorite thing to order that is personal to Starbucks is their Iced White Chocolate Mocha with Soy Milk. SO sweet but super delicious!
#3- Dunkin Donuts
Y'all know from
my Instagram that I have a thing for Dunkin. Their prices aren't bad for the size and their iced lattes taste pretty good. The only reason I wouldn't rate them higher is because each time I go, same location or not, it turns out tasting different. I like to know what I am going to get each time. That is their only downfall. Over all though, they aren't too sweet, aren't too strong, and they offer Almond Milk for those with dairy allergies!
#2- Panera
This may come as a shock because Panera Bread doesn't advertise them self as a coffee type place but their Iced Caramel Latte is the bees knees. SUCH good flavor. I don't know how to explain to you how delicious it is but trust me it is rich in coffee flavor while still being sweet and tasty. Perfect combo!!!
#1- IHOP!!!!!!!!!
Again this is a shocking one that NO ONE ever told me about but IHOP is a hidden gem when it comes to Iced Coffee. There are free refills. Yes. You heard me right. Sit and eat breakfast and have your waiter keep bringing out the caffeine. #bringiton Not only is the whole refills thing awesome for those of us running solely off caffeine but it is the best tasting iced coffee in my opinion. OMG do I love this stuff. All the heart eyes. Usually I drink it all before thinking to snap a picture so I used a google image from Yelp but all you need to know is that their Vanilla Iced coffee will change your life. The End.
I hope y'all found this helpful and found some new reccomendations! Let me know where YOUR favorite coffee place is. Don't forget to follow my coffee adventures on Instagram with the hashtag
