Ice it down

Of course, we’ve got plenty of sweltering days left before an iced coffee drink is unnecessary, but summer ends this month for many of us. We’re prepping for a new school year, a new football season, and otherwise getting our rears back into gear at the office. At some point during these hectic days, your morning coffee has worn off and the hot August afternoons require a caffeine boost that’s also crisp and refreshing. Turn to this iced latte ($3.60 for a medium cup), at Garden District Coffee on Perkins Road. It’s just enough of a pick-me-up to get you through the rest of the day, and the added swirl of milk keeps it smooth. Almond milk is available, too, so you can feel a little less guilty ordering a large. Find a seat inside or take it to go—though Garden District Coffee’s patio is always inviting, it’s probably too hot out there right now anyway. gardendistrictcoffee.com
