Summer seasonal drinks have arrived at our coffee bars in London and New York. This year’s lineup draws inspiration from the world of cocktails and features our seasonal blend RISE, bringing unique layers of flavour, texture and balance, while keeping the focus firmly on coffee in a way that feels true to what we do.
Each drink has been crafted around RISE, which features notes of grape, melon and crema catalana. From the outset, the intention was to design a seasonal drinks menu that highlights the fruity notes of the coffee blend, while taking inspiration from cocktail making techniques and unique ingredients that are becoming more accessible globally. The result is five seasonal drinks that feel expressive and creative.
‘’We're really excited about this year’s seasonal menu. We've created it using some unexpected techniques, like clarification, and unusual flavours, like ube. Ingredients like this only make it to the menu when they genuinely work with coffee, not just because they’re trending. Increasingly, people are looking for something new and unique, but it still has to make sense in the cup. Ube successfully achieves this fresh and exciting balance.’’

The summer drinks menu is available at our coffee bars in London and New York throughout the summer.
LEMON DRIZZLE LATTE
Zesty iced latte with cold foam.
It’s not a cake in a cup, it’s a bright and refreshing iced latte, perfect for sweltering (or drizzling) summer days in the city. Cold foam might be having a moment across the industry, but here it is doing real work – it’s used intentionally to change the mouthfeel and carry flavour.
UBE ICED LATTE
Sweet ube latte with ube foam.
Ube brings a natural richness and gentle sweetness that sits comfortably with coffee, adding colour, depth and a subtle nutty-vanilla character. Here it’s used to complement rather than compete, lifting the latte into something a little more playful while still keeping the coffee at the centre.
COLD BREW CITRUS FLOAT
Cold brew topped with citrus foam. Created to spotlight the zesty, fruit-forward notes of RISE, this is cold brew with a brighter edge – like a little burst of sunshine sitting right on top of your cup.
COLD BREW PUNCH
Clarified cold brew, oat & peach punch.
The secret? Clarification – a technique borrowed from the cocktail world where the punch is filtered to remove suspended solids. The end result? A creamy mouthfeel, with fruity complexity and a clear appearance.
LEMON CLOUD ICED MATCHA
Iced matcha with lemon foam.
Earthy, green and grounding (until the lemon comes in). The citrus lifts the matcha with a soft brightness, adding a light, cloud-like finish.
OUR SEASONAL BLEND RISE
Combining innovatively processed coffees from the Perez Family in Colombia and the Chaves de Brito family in Brazil, our RISE blend celebrates flavour in full bloom. It's juicy, vibrant and a little bit boozy, delivering a taste experience that's impossible to ignore.
