Specialty Coffee Drinks to Offer This Summer – Right now, we are about to enter the third summer of the pandemic; however, thanks to the advances in vaccination and the general passage of time this year, we can expect more consumers to be comfortable with going outside and trying out new things and products.
Research by the National Coffee Association shows that 75% of consumers are looking forward to new flavors and beverage options this 2022, showing a promising future for specialty coffee drinks. And summer is a great season for foodservice businesses to try out new menus and specialty coffee recipes; school is out and the weather is great so you can expect an increase in business from Gen Z customers,
Of course, we can’t deny that the pandemic resulted in a rise in home-prep coffee and “at-home baristas”, but now that customers are again looking for normalcy their interest in coffee shops and specialty recipes is returning as well.
However, the fact that so many customers improved their coffee and food skills also means that they’ll be expecting more quality from the shops they frequent, especially now that specialty coffee grew in popularity during the pandemic and became the go-to for most consumers.
Right now the specialty coffee industry is thriving. This presents an opportunity for food businesses to take advantage of these trends and increase revenue through new and exciting menu options. This is why today we’ll look at 3 summer specialty coffee drinks businesses need to offer in these coming months.
The 3 Specialty Coffee Drinks for You

3. Caffe Mocha
These mochas carry a double shot of espresso to give you that much-needed caffeine kick for a busy day ahead. But, if you’re not a fan of this much caffeine, you can ask for just one shot alongside a scoop of hot chocolate and whole milk.

This beverage consists of vanilla bean frappuccino, cinnamon dolce syrup, white mocha syrup, and a topping of cinnamon dolce powder.
