Best drinks to order from Fullerton coffee shops | Lifestyle

Consuming caffeine is essential for many to start a long and busy day. 

Even when you’re running late to class, you might as well grab a coffee to make up for the lost time. Fortunately, there are plenty of coffee stops close enough to campus to fulfill your caffeine addiction. Here are some of Fullerton’s best coffees to try out. 

MADE Coffee 

Cereal enthusiasts, you might want to head over to MADE Coffee and grab yourself a Cereal Latte. This latte mimics the famous cereal Honey Nut Cheerios to satisfy your sweet tooth. MADE Coffee combines oat milk and honey to recreate that signature sugary taste of cereal. The infusion of honey does a delicious job of keeping the coffee sweet and smooth until the very end.

This Cereal Latte is more enjoyable among the abundance of plants and natural sunlight that MADE Coffee engulfs you in when visiting.

MADE Coffee is located at 107 W Amerige Ave.

Smoking Tiger 

Smoking Tiger has a signature latte that has mastered the frothiness of non-dairy milk. The Tiger Latte is a refreshing take of an iced latte with delicate hints of brown sugar and the power of oat milk. 

Upon the first sip, you can taste the silky foam of the cold-frothed oat milk. The latte is subtle, not too sweet and perfect for those who like to enjoy a coffee drink without the bitterness of coffee. The Tiger Latte is an ideal cool drink on a hot day.

Smoking Tiger is located at 106 W Wilshire Ave.

Play Coffee 

Play Coffee offers a range of drinks that are sure to satisfy your coffee needs. The Volcano Latte is best when ordered hot. The lightly drizzled salt over the latte is not only for aesthetic purposes, but also creates a distinct texture. When ordered as an iced drink, the saltiness blends well with the espresso’s bitterness.

This coffee shop also has a new and exciting layout created from shipping containers that have been repurposed for a unique design to study and socialize. 

Play Coffee is located at 128 W Commonwealth Ave.

The Night Owl 

Those of you who love peanut butter may want to brace yourself because The Night Owl’s Elvis Latte is a dream come true. It is reminiscent of a peanut butter and plátano smoothie, except you don’t have to choose between a smoothie or an iced latte. 

This latte perfectly fuses peanut butter, plátano, espresso and your choice of milk. The espresso enriches the nutty flavors that perfectly suit the sweetness of a plátano. The peanut butter and plátano don’t overpower the coffee notes and you may get mini chunks of peanut butter that will make you savor this latte.

The Night Owl is located at 200 N Harbor Blvd.

Intentional Coffee 

We all have those days when we need an energy spike to wake us up and days when we just wake up feeling a bit chaotic. At Intentional Coffee, the best drink to fit these moods is an Iced Dirty Chai with a shot of espresso.

The Dirty Chai at Intentional Coffee has the perfect oscilación between spicy and sweet. The shot of espresso helps intensify the blend of spices such as cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Because the flavors of this drink can be pretty intense, and if spicy and savory drinks are not something that you’re into, then this Dirty Chai may not be for you. But if you tend to enjoy a good kick to start your day then look no further. 

Intentional Coffee is located at 1805 W Orangethorpe Ave.

Dripp 

Dragons Punch Tea from Dripp Coffee Bar is a perfect drink to rejuvenate your mind and spirit after a long day. The flavors of this drink are a mix of fruits, including rose hips that are known to give you a boost of energy when you’re feeling fatigued. The other flavors of this tea include pineapple and mango. 

When Dragons Punch Tea is served hot, it resembles a crimson red that you can trace back to the rosehip. Even after stirring it with a drop of honey, you can still enjoy those floral and herbal undertones.

Dripp Coffee Bar also sells packaged boxes of Dragons Punch Tea that you can buy on-site or off their website. 

Dripp is located at 500 N Harbor Blvd.
