Cool Off with These Perfect Summer Coffee Drinks from Amélie

July 9, 2025

When the Alabama heat kicks in, there’s no better way to stay cool and caffeinated than with the right summer coffee. Whether you prefer bold and simple or creamy and indulgent, we’ve got your summer sips covered. Here are our top picks for refreshing coffee drinks to keep you chill all season long — including a few of Amélie’s exclusive summer favorites.


☀️ 1. Iced Americano


If you love a strong coffee flavor without the fuss, the iced Americano is your summer staple. Made by pouring espresso over cold water and ice, it delivers a bold yet crisp flavor that hits the spot on a hot day. No milk, no sugar — just clean, chilled coffee flavor.



🧊 2. Cold Brew


Cold brew is steeped in cold water for 12-24 hours, which gives it a naturally sweet, low-acid flavor. It’s smooth, easy to drink, and perfect for sipping slowly during a long summer afternoon. You can enjoy it black or customize it with a splash of milk or a dash of vanilla syrup.



🥛 3. Iced Latte


The classic iced latte combines espresso and cold milk over ice, offering a smooth and mellow coffee drink that’s easy to love. It’s endlessly customizable — we love adding vanilla, hazelnut, or caramel for a little sweetness.



🍫 4. Iced Mocha


Need a coffee drink that doubles as a dessert? Enter the iced mocha. Espresso meets chocolate and chilled milk for a rich, energizing treat. It’s a perfect way to satisfy both your caffeine craving and your sweet tooth.



✨ 5. Shakerato


This Italian classic is the cocktail of the coffee world — espresso shaken over ice with a touch of sugar until frothy and cold, then poured into a chilled glass. It’s bold, slightly sweet, and oh-so-refreshing.



🍦 6. Cold Foam Cold Brew


Cold brew gets even better with a layer of cold foam — a light, frothy topping made from nonfat or oat milk. It adds a creamy texture without weighing your drink down. Nitro cold brew, on the other hand, is infused with nitrogen for a creamy, effervescent finish that feels like coffee on tap. No ice needed.



🌸 7. Amélie’s Signature Summer Lattes


We’re not just pouring the basics this summer. At Amélie, our seasonal lattes are handcrafted to bring unique, refreshing flavor to your cup. Here are a few highlights:


🫐 Iced Vanilla Latte with Blueberry Cold Foam


Vanilla-smooth espresso meets an airy blueberry cold foam topping for a lightly sweet, fruity finish. It’s like coffee with a berry twist — light, aromatic, and absolutely summer-worthy.


🍌 Iced Banana Cold Foam Matcha Latte


Earthy matcha meets mellow banana in this cool green pick-me-up. Topped with our signature banana cold foam, it’s vibrant, creamy, and packed with feel-good vibes.


🍩 Iced Creamy Churro Latte


This one’s a crowd favorite. A spiced, cinnamon-sugar latte with a creamy finish, served over ice. It tastes like a churro in a cup — perfect for when you want your coffee to feel like a little indulgence.



☕ Which One Will Be Your Summer Go-To?


Whether you’re working remote, catching up with friends, or grabbing a treat on the go, there’s a perfect iced coffee waiting for you at Amélie. Come explore our full summer drink lineup — and taste the difference of coffee that’s never burned.

Amélie Coffee – Taste the Bean. Not the Burn. Chain coffee is bad for you.

🌍 New Coffee Spotlight: Tanzanian Peaberry! Bonjour, Amélie Friends! 👋 If you know, you know. And if you don’t — here’s why coffee lovers get obsessed with Tanzanian Peaberry. Unlike most coffee beans, which grow two seeds per cherry, peaberries are rare single seeds that develop their flavor in total solitude. That little quirk gives them a smoother, rounder shape — and a richer, more concentrated taste. The result? A bright, lively cup with notes of citrus, dark chocolate, and just a hint of spice. (***You can see the difference in the bean from the pic above) We’re thrilled to now offer Tanzanian Peaberry at Amélie — available as drip coffee or pour over for those who love a slower, more refined brew. 👀 Our peaberry roast is now featured as our every-day drip coffee everyday and you can get it as a pour-over, too! 👀 Stop by, sip something special, and taste why this tiny bean has such a big reputation. ☕ How Tanzanian Peaberry Stacks Up vs Popular Selections Wondering how our newest offering compares to other coffee classics? Here’s a quick taste tour: ✨ Tanzanian Peaberry – Bright and complex with lively citrus notes, dark chocolate depth, and a subtle hint of spice. Smooth and balanced from start to finish. 🇪🇹 Ethiopian – Delicate and floral with jasmine, bergamot, and a splash of lemon. Light-bodied and wonderfully aromatic. 🇨🇴 Colombian – Comfort in a cup: sweet caramel, roasted nuts, and mild acidity for that easy-drinking balance everyone loves. 🇨🇷 Costa Rican – Crisp and clean with honeyed sweetness and gentle fruit tones — bright but silky. A sunshine-in-your-mug kind of coffee. 🇮🇩 Sumatran – Deep, earthy, and full-bodied with low acidity and layers of chocolate, spice, and herbs. Bold and grounding. If you like your coffee smooth yet lively, Tanzanian Peaberry sits right in that perfect middle ground — complex enough to intrigue, mellow enough to sip all day. 🦀 Thursday Treat Alert – October 23 ONLY This Thursday, 10/23, grab your favorite coffee, a sweet treat, and your BOGOHO (Buy One, Get One Half Off) Chesapeake Crab Cakes … and we’ll sweeten the deal even more.
