Amp up your iced coffee game at Burke & Wills Australian Bistro.

Have you met the Draft Latte? It's available at La Colombe Coffee Roasters and it's divine. This frothy beverage has all the complexity of an iced latte without the actual ice. It's simply made with nutrient-rich milk and cold-pressed espresso – no need for sugar because it's naturally sweet. Don't worry, there's still that frothy layer of silky foam at the top. Can't make it into a café? Order a 4-pack or 16-pack of 9oz. cans online for just $10/$40. Learn how to make this frothy drink here.

Grab a banh mi at Nam Nam in Williamsburg for lunch and don't forget to wash it down with an iced coffee. Each cup is made individually, using a Vietnamese Phin filter. The roast itself is on the darker side – so don't expect the typical sweetened, condensed milk version that you're used to. The price is great too, so you can justify stopping in here more than once a day. Yes, it's that addicting.
