Staying awake through your 8:30 a.m. lecture is no easy task. If you’re a food point millionaire and need some energy, here are some extravagant (and rather sweet) coffee options for you.
Bougie with the Best Taste: Large Spicy Caramel Oprah Mocha - $8.22 (with tax)
Where: Beyu Blue
How to order on the mobile order app:
- Oprah Mocha
- Large +$5.15
- Oat Milk +$1
- Extra Shot Espresso +50 cents
- Cinnamon Syrup +50 cents
- Caramel Sauce +50 cents
This delightful concoction of cinnamon syrup, caramel sauce, oat milk and one extra espresso shot for energy all mixed into Beyu Blue’s Oprah Mocha is a great way to start the day. The cinnamon adds complexity to the drink without making it too sweet, and the oat milk provides a perfect, smooth texture. The caramel may mask the bitterness of the extra espresso, but the overall caffeine content still manages to keep you alert just long enough to survive your 8:30 a.m. lectures.
Most Lavish and Lovely: Large Deluxe White Chocolate Mocha - $11.72 (with tax)
Where: Bella Union
How to order on the mobile order app:
- White Chocolate Mocha
- Large +$5.75
- Sub Oat Milk +60 cents
- Cinnamon +65 cents
- Coconut +65 cents
- Gingerbread +65 cents
- Hazelnut +65 cents
- Irish Creme +65 cents
- Vanilla +65 cents
- Chocolate +65 cents
The smoothness of this double-digit priced coffee is unparalleled. The gingerbread combined with hazelnut makes you feel warm inside as you sip, and the subtle aftertaste of coconut mixed with mocha is reminiscent of an Almond Joy melting in your mouth. This coffee is almost as relaxing as a midday nap, but if you need a boost, do not be afraid to add an extra espresso shot.
Most Nutritious of All: 20oz Fruitilicious Cold Brew - $8.76 (with tax)
Where: Bella Union
How to order on the mobile order app:
- Cold Brew Coffee
- 20 oz +$4.25
- Sub Oat Milk +60 cents
- Light Creamer
- Cherry +65 cents
- Lime +$65 cents
- Orange +65 cents
- Raspberry +65 cents
- Peach +65 cents
- Chocolate +65 cents
It can be hard to get your fruits in when living off caffeine and Il Forno pasta everyday. If you are missing out on the healthiness of nature’s candy, look no further. The fruitilicious cold brew lets you almost reach the taste of a Starbucks Refresher and make your coffee a little more healthy. Potentially a little too sweet to handle, the high sugar content of this cold brew combined with the extraordinary amounts of caffeine will have you up and ready to hit the books.
The Iciest: 20 oz Sweet and Spicy Frappe - $10.86 (with tax)
Where: Bella Union
How to order on the mobile order app:
- Frappe
- 20 oz +$5.60
- Sub Oat Milk +60 cents
- Caramel +65 cents
- Cinnamon +65 cents
- Hazelnut +65 cents
- Irish Creme +65 cents
- Vanilla +65 cents
- Chocolate +65 cents
This frappe costs more than the 20 Piece McNuggets from McDonald’s. The sweetness of the vanilla, hazelnut, chocolate and caramel combat the spiciness of Irish creme and cinnamon to give a smooth and balanced drink. While it tastes as ordinary and sweet as a chai frappe, you can at least brag to your friends that you managed to order a coffee the same price as a meal.
