Why you have to see it: The affogatto. This dish not only has a beautiful name, but it will melt in your mouth with the perfect combination of espresso dolloped over homemade coconut ice cream.

Kaffeine in London
 
Why you have to see it: Kaffeine’s coffee flight will take you on a mouth trip that is out of this world. Don’t drink any coffee before visiting because the flight includes a single shot of espresso, a single shot of cappuccino, and a cold-brew cascara refresher. Kaffeine’s baristas must have at least three years of training before brewing behind the shop’s bar, and it shows in the way they perfectly craft latte art, as seen above.

Why you have to see it: Stumptown manually brews its toddy for 12 hours before serving it to customers.

It’s also the perfect hot summer day drink, so why even fool yourself into thinking you want a 100-degree drink on a 100-degree day?
