Tips on Ordering Holiday Drinks

• Top iced drinks with customized cold foam by blending 2 pumps of your favorite holiday syrup into vanilla sweet cream cold foam. This modification must be done in person since it’s not possible to request this on the app.
• Any hot beverage can be made to “kid’s temperature” if you want to drink it right away. They’ll heat the beverage to 130°F instead of the usual 160°F.
• Holiday syrup, sauces, and toppings can be added to any drink, but there may be an extra cost.
