We’re heading into a brand-new year, so what better time to shake up your routine and try something new? When it comes to your morning brew or afternoon pick-me-up, we’ve sourced specially recommended drinks from some of our neighborhood’s shops. Try one of these local coffee creations to kick-start your 2026 with a new sip.
The Strawberry Matcha Iced Latte from Northaven Gardens’ boutique cafe is made with ceremonial-grade matcha, flavored with strawberry and vanilla, and finished with house-made strawberry cold foam.
The Salted Caramel Cold Brew from this Preston Hollow Village restaurant combines sweet, salty, and creamy flavors, plus additional caramel layered on its Mason jar rim.
A Perfect Latte from La La Land can be served hot or iced, with espresso or matcha, and is accented with the shop’s sweet, creamy signature “secret sauce.”
The Magicman is LDU’s take on a cortado (or foam-free latte), made with beans from Chiapas, Mexico, choice of milk, and optional vanilla or cinnamon flavor enhancement.
Cereal Milk Cold Brew is a sweet start that blends Merit’s brew with oat milk steeped with fruit-flavored breakfast cereal, and finished with crushed cereal garnish.
Naturally sweetened with cinnamon-steeped honey, White Rock’s seasonal Sopapilla Latte can be served hot or iced.
