Simple Savings
Refill your ice coffee or tea for $0.55 if you bring your cup back to the register(during the same visit)!

Bring your own cup and save $0.10!

Don't buy their bottled water! You can get a cup of iced water for free and it's triple-filtered.

Planning on staying a while or meeting a few friends? Order a coffee press pot of coffee which will provide a few cups cheaper than ordering individually.

Order a "short". A short is smaller than a tall sized, but the short size cappuccino has the same amount of espresso as the tall!




Hold the ice!
Ask for iced coffee, teas and lemonades without ice. You'll get more of the beverage that you can pour over your own ice for the same cost.

Order your Frapp with "light ice" and you'll get more of the flavor and less watery slush.

Iced coffee, teas and lemonade
Order your iced teas with "No water". Iced teas are double concentrated and watered down when you order them. Add your own water at home.

Don't like plain coffee? You can add flavors like caramel, hazelnut, cinnamon dolce, vanilla, peppermint, raspberry, toffee nut, coconut (during summer), pumpkin spice (during fall) or just add classic syrup to make your drink a little sweet.

  • An iced coffee with mocha syrup is cheaper than an ice mocha latte!

Enjoy really light coffee? Order a tall or grande coffee in a venti cup - more room for milk/cream and it's cheaper!

Cheap iced latte? Order a triple espresso over ice in a Venti cup and add your own cream and sugar at the condiments bar. Should cost about $2.
