With creativity of recipes, cold coffees gain more space in SP

The cold coffees invaded the coffee shops of São Paulo. Whether in summer menus or the permanent menu, refreshing drinks came to stay.

It is true that the Brazilian consumer resists this news and, in general, still prefers the traditional steaming coffee, even in the hottest season of the year.

However, the growth of icy drinks seems unavoidable, especially in coffee shops.

The quality of these drinks has improved. As it is relatively new, the market is still trying to find recipes that work.

Before the choice was among simple cold coffees and super sugary beverages, full of exaggeration. Today, however, coffee shops serve more elaborate drinks, with ingredients that go beyond flavored syrups.

Improvement helps raise the consumption of these drinks in coffee shops. According to Nestlé, cold coffees already represent 12% of sales in these establishments.

Just stroll through the main coffee shops of São Paulo to realize that the offer of these drinks has grown in recent years – both in quantity and, still, in quality.

See then a selection of coffee shops in Sao Paulo to try cold coffees.
