Pick iced coffee when you want to feel alert, save money, or pretend you’re a busy writer in a noir film. It’s the drink of morning commutes and your third Zoom call of the day.
Pick a latte when you want to treat yourself, sip slowly, or impress someone who knows the difference. It’s the drink of brunch dates and Instagram stories. No judgment here—I’ve done both.
And if someone ever tells you they’re the same thing? Send them this article. Or just smile, order what you want, and enjoy your perfectly chosen beverage. You’re welcome, future coffee snob.
