5 fast food chains with the best iced coffee, according to Diners
Discover which grocery chains offer the best iced coffee according to real guests.
As someone who lives off iced coffee, finding the right blend is a science. Some are definitely better than others in terms of quality and taste. When it comes to iced coffee, here’s what caffeine lovers have to say about some of the best places you can go for deals, great menu items, and most importantly, quality iced coffee on a hot summer morning.
Dunkin’ Donuts is one of my personal favorites, especially the butter pecan (I ask for half the amount of sweetener they usually put in flavored iced coffee/latches), and it turns out a lot of other people are fans too. “(You) should definitely try this, it’s absolutely amazing. It’s a butter pecan iced coffee frosting, it’s so good,” said a reviewer at DUNKIN’ Obsession. Others comment on how good the cold drink is, simply saying “big, black cold drink, 2 pumps of brown sugar, (and) cold foam,” followed by a bunch of fire emojis.
McDonald’s Refrigerator coffee has built a fan base, not only around the taste, but also for availability. “Use the app to get any iced coffee you want for 99 cents!! The only thing I use the app for” Reddit commenter said in a post about how good McDonald’s iced coffee is. “People are sleeping on McDonald’s coffee. Cheap and very good,” said another. “That’s all I need. This revelation has literally changed my financial situation because I know,” said a third.
Starbucks quite expensive, but worth it in my opinion for iced coffees, cold beers, and iced lattes when you really need a daytime kick. “I actually just order iced coffee” said one reviewer on Reddit. “Started ordering it in college when I was too broke for caramel macchiatos. I get classic syrup and soy milk. My sister always gets vanilla syrup and nonfat milk (she has to be lactose intolerant).”
Growing up in WNY, there is almost more Tim Horton’s compared to gas stations. I’m a huge fan of the chain and they always have great deals through their app. “Always the best. There is no (competition)” said a Yelp reviewer. “Always tasty. Always good. Fair prices. Good food and good drinks,” said another. “Service is often friendly and helpful.”
Personally, I’m not always the biggest fan of the food in it Panera Bread. In my opinion, some menu items are better than others, but I’ve always been partial to the hazelnut coffee, and others agree. “I really liked the hazelnut” said one commenter on Reddit about Panera’s iced coffees. “This is the third Snickerdoodle Iced Coffee this promotion cycle. There’s a clear competitor among the three coffee choices,” said another in the same thread.
