There’s no denying that summer is already here. With temperatures rising, it’s very easy to lose your cool, your patience, and sometimes your will to function. Before you start side-eyeing the sun, here are five fun summer treats worth giving a try, whatever craving you have.
1. CHAGEE Genmaicha
If your usual order feels too sweet lately, this is a solid reset. It’s light, slightly nutty, and very easy to drink. No sugar overload, no drama. Just something you can finish in peace without feeling like you need another glass of water after. It’s also a good pick if you want something refreshing but still feels a bit more put together than your usual iced tea.
2. Summer Berry by Resonate Coffee
For when you want something that tastes like you made a good decision. It’s fruity, a little floral, and just sweet enough to keep things interesting. The gummy bear on top is unnecessary but also completely necessary. It leans slightly dessert-like, but the cold brew keeps it from going overboard.
3. Strawberry Cream Puff from Baristart Coffee
A seasonal favorite that people actually wait for. It’s light, creamy, and filled with fresh strawberries that balance out the sweetness. Not too heavy, not too rich, and easy to finish even after a full meal. If you’re not in the mood for another drink, this does the job just as well.
4. Lychee Iced Tea from Pickup Coffee
This is as straightforward as it gets, in a good way. Brewed tea with a lychee twist over ice, it’s light, slightly sweet, and very easy to drink. It’s one of those orders you don’t have to think too hard about, especially when you just want something cold that works.

5. Oatside Affogato from Yardstick Coffee
Part coffee, part dessert. This one uses Oatside for a creamier, slightly nutty base that pairs well with espresso. It’s cold, a little indulgent, and perfect when you want something sweet but still need your caffeine fix. Bonus: this one’s exclusively available at their Legazpi branch, so it’s worth planning around.
Not everything has to be a full plan this summer. Sometimes it’s just about finding something cold, something sweet, or something a little different to break up the day. These picks are a good place to start.
