Top 10 Best Drinks to Order at a Coffee Shop
Coffee shops today offer much more than just your standard drip coffee. From exotic coffee blends to teas and even food, you'll likely find a wide variety of options to suit your preferences.For example, Starbucks is famous for its countless coffee options, such as a Grande Iced Sugar-Free Vanilla Latte with Soy Milk. Combine that kind of customized order with something as simple as a standard house blend, and the possibilities are practically endless.
Below is a list of the best drinks you can order at a coffee shop. These are not intended to be custom variations of drinks, like the Starbucks example above, but rather distinct and unique drink options. Feel free to include different types of coffee or teas, but let's leave out specific sizes or overly detailed customizations.
