Youmoutoohana
Taipei, Taiwan
Another awesome cafe in Taipei. Brick, wood, movie and music posters everywhere. Our kind of joint. Cold brew comes in a glass flask shaped bottle. Again, our kind of joint.

Capital One Cafe
Miami Beach, FL, USA
Surprising to say the least, but we finally found a cold brew oasis in the thick of South Beach chaos. These guys have Verve on tap, perfect for a power up as you struggle through shopping in 90 degree heat.

Recently AddedDeploy Coffee
New York, NY, USA
We love Asian-inspired cold brews, and the Kyoto Cold Brew at Deploy checks off every box. Will be returning to try the regular working-man cold brew, which we can safely assume will also be quite good.

Banter NYC
New York, NY, USA
Great brunch spot with cold brew done the Australian way: big, bold and delicious.

The Beans on Fire
Paris, France
No regrets in getting upsold to the 'funky cold brew' with 'paradox beans' -- bright but bold flavor, reminds one of Cherry Garcia ice cream and/or a Jerry Garcia live solo.

Voyager Craft Coffee
San Jose, CA, USA
Voyager is a nice, bright shop in Downtown San Jose, serving their Cascade cold brew blend. Solid all-around, perfect for the drive home after stuffing ourselves in the San Pedro Market.

Quiet Light
Taipei, Taiwan
Trendy, simple cafe for meals or to pop in for some excellent light roast cold brew.

SIGNAL Coffee Roasters
Berkeley, CA, USA
Lovely espresso bar tucked away right off Shattuck. Good music, good vibes and a solid all-around medium roast CB. It will not blow you away, but it's a nice little security blanket in the bedlam that is downtown Berkeley.
View Details
Kunjani Craft Coffee
Naples, FL, USA
Surprisingly good, crafty shop close to the beach. Naples is not an area you'd expect to find god cold brew -- and for the most part, you won't -- but Kunjani is easily the best option near the coast. They sell quite a few beans, serve a variety of pastries and have a whimsical gallery vibe. An oasis, of sorts.

Recently AddedSilver Fox Coffee Lounge
Nashville, TN, USA
Silver Fox is a big open spot in Belmont with tons of seating. The clientele mostly looks too young to even drink coffee, alas I am old. More importantly the cold brew is quite good. Seems like it's technically a toddy, but profiles like a medium roast tangy CB. Certified.

Espresso Vivace
Seattle, WA, USA
Confidently serving Seattle's highly coffee-conscious populace.

Typica Specialty Coffee
Paris, France
Tiny little Marais district pop up that means business. CB so clean it tastes minty. Can power even the most fatigued travelers through one of Paris' best neighborhoods.

Elegy Coffee WeHo
Nashville, TN, USA
Awesome coffee shop to post up and work from. Not to mention, they brew their own cold brew and pack it in very bottles for you to take home.
View Details
Wells Coffee
Ft. Lauderdale, FL, USA
Hidden gem in Tarpon River, perfect before or after hitting the famed brewery.
View Details
Panther Coffee
Miami, FL, USA
A Miami institution advancing craft coffee in the 305. They have a dedicated a cold brew roast, but sometimes mix it up -- so feel free to go all the time.
View Details
Luckin
New York, NY, USA
Although they force you to use one of China's worst innovations (requiring all orders to be mobile based), the cold brew is certifiable and extraordinarily cheap. The menu is somewhat confusing but they do indeed serve a real, more-than-quaffable CB.

All You Need - Midtown
Miami, FL, USA
New shop in Midtown -- very much needed as a cold brew locus in the walkable, yet CB-starved neighborhood.
View Details
La La Land
Nashville, TN, USA
La La Land is a madhouse of excitement and kindness. Not the prototypical coffee shop where you plop down and work on your laptop, it's more like the top tier boba shops in Asia, a drink-ordering and photo-taking experience where everyone's happy and buzzing despite having waited quite a long time for their drink (pro tip: order ahead on mobile). They specialize in tea- and coffee-adjacent drinks with unique flavors and "clouds" (the strawberry matcha was delicious). We approve of the cold brew, too -- light, goes well with a splash of coconut or oat milk, served with a big smile.

Amp Artisan Coffee
Denver, CO, USA
Statistically, it's rare to find quality cold brew a block away from a baseball stadium. But the hipster forces of Denver are strong and make possible this cool, unstructured CB gem.
View Details
Zeca do Brasil
Luxembourg, Luxembourg
Fun fact: many Brazilians and Portuguese live in tiny Luxembourg. This bodes well for coffee culture, as evidenced by the delightful peachy light roast Zeca serves from his stand in the country's municipal park.

Recently AddedBlue Dove Coffee
New York, NY, USA
Great spot on Canal in the thick of Chinatown. Blue Dove's got a modern-but-not-sterile aesthetic, good tunes and a might fine cold brew. I envision a future involving more time here.

WatchHouse 5th Ave
New York, NY, USA
What an exquisite shop. Everything about this is high end -- from the decor, the precision of the staff, the projected menue on the wall...and yes, an excellent light cold brew with notes of peach iced tea and caramel.

Third Place Coffee Lounge
Boca Raton, FL, USA
Hidden gem in the suburbs. Lovely coffeeshop name, even better CBwOM (cold brew with oat milk). The 'burbs are back, baby.
View Details
Red Bay Coffee
Berkeley, CA, USA
Red Bay has a few locations in Berkeley, Oakland and SF. They care about coffee, and it's one of those places where you can easily tell the staff and regular clientele do too.

Blue Sparrow Coffee
Denver, CO, USA
A small, subtle shop tucked away in RiNo, with a beautiful nitro cold brew option.
View Details
William & Sons Coffee Co.
Porto Alegre, Brazil
Highly professional, thoughtful shop in Moinhos de Vento. The CB is very much Brazilian style (dark and strong). Bonus points for a delicious homemade pao de queijo (cheesy and strong).
View Details
Walt Grace Vintage
Miami, FL, USA
Not a traditional coffee shop, but a very cool store (vintage cars + guitars) with a very good coffee shop inside. Their Pure Black is perfect for a pit stop while strolling through Wynwood -- bold, almost cigar-like flavor with a sweet finish.
View Details
Frothy Monkey
Nashville, TN, USA
Frothy Monkey is our official "third place" in Nashville. It's rare to find a place where you can sit and work on your laptop, eat a delicious brunch with friends, read peacefully while sipping a local IPA, or (as I have) do all three things in the same day. And of course, they serve a refreshing, light bodied cold brew on tap, a universal requirement for any establishment that seeks to be a third place.

Recently AddedManjul
New York, NY, USA
Manjul is a tasteful shop in SoHo with a punchy, caramely cold brew. Serene on the inside, powerful on the inside.

Frisson Espresso
New York, NY, USA
A surprise addition up and around Hell's Kitchen -- notably down to earth franchised shops with a solid CB.

Coffee Dumbo
Taipei, Taiwan
Incredibly cute shop with various options. Serve a fruity light roast from Colombia that tastes like a Negroni.

Silence Please
New York, NY, USA
Unique listening room + specialty coffee haven with a delicious cherry-caramel CB. A little hard to find, harder to leave. Go when you're feeling extra cool, and don't you dare bring your laptop on the weekend.

Wakuli Specialty Coffee Bar
Amsterdam, Netherlands
I mean, how could one not get excited seeing 'enter the cold brew mothership' written on the window? Bonus points for having several fancy CB-based drinks, in case you want to bring a friend. Multiple locations, including one right by the museums.
View Details
Libertino Cafe
Miami, FL, USA
Industrial vibe with plenty of seating and easy access to the rest of Wynwood. The cold brew is very balanced, with a pop of orange-y dark chocolate-y and smooth finish. They seem to advertise more as a place to eat, but don't be fooled -- they serve high quality coffee and care about the details in Spoelstra-esque fashion. In a city increasingly taken over by "vibey" places that don't know the first thing about coffee, it is refreshing to see a relatively new entrant take cold brew seriously.

Vice City Bean
Miami, FL, USA
Neighborhood gem that transports you straight to the Pacific Northwest (minus the cold and rain, of course).
View Details
Sable
Miami, FL, USA
The hits keep coming in Wynwood. An area starved of decent cold brew a few years ago is rounding into a legit CB cluster. At the time of this writing, Sable is not fully built out but seems very promising as a retro diner + vinyl room + outdoor lounge space. The cold brew was light and fruity, with hints of cherry and peach. Sensing some third place potential.

TailGate Brewery East Nashville
Nashville, TN, USA
When they tell you to stay in your lane, don't listen. This is officially the first ever (beer) brewery on our list. I asked them why they decided to make cold brew coffee, and the guy there shrugged and said something to the effect of "Idk, we love coffee and kinda just felt like it." American entrepreneurship at its finest.

Recently AddedDark Matter Coffee
Chicago, IL, USA
Dark Matter is a very cool name, and they serve very good cold brew. Arguably the funkiest we've had in Chicago, and I regret that I could not try all of the various flavored options on tap. Will undoubtedly return.

Osa Coffee Roasters
Nashville, TN, USA
A no-frills craft coffee stand in a convenient location close to Vanderbilt / Belmont / 12 South. Gives a Seattle vibe, always a strong signal for good cold brew. We approve!

Analog Coffee
Seattle, WA, USA
Neighborhood shop with infinite supply of pour-overs and cold brew.

Surry Hills Coffee
Miami, FL, USA
Australia and Buenos Aires inspired coffeeshop in a pocket of Miami known for libationary excellence. Great sandwiches, better coffee.
View Details
Kaizen & Coffee
San Mateo, CA, USA
Just...wow. KAIZEN is in a shopping strip off a major avenue, and has a long line most of the time. So it may dissuade you...but don't let it. They are expert cold brewers. The standard CB on the menu is a shockingly cheap $5, and massively overperforms. We also tried the slow-drip cold brew option (The Future: Summer Slush by Black & White), which is our favorite cold brew of 2026. Possibly the best in the entire lower 48.
View Details
Flora + Fauna Cafe and Roaster
Nashville, TN, USA
Unsurprisingly, a delicate, beautiful, floral cold brew, perfect for a refreshing drink on a warm day or, you know, if you've just had some bomb breakfast over at Kisser.
View Details
Middle Grounds Coffee
Nashville, TN, USA
Middle Grounds is just one of those spots where you feel much cooler than you are. The owner is super friendly and unpretentious. They brew a local cold brew, and it hits perfectly, especially after breakfast at Egg Drip.
View Details
The Well Coffeehouse
Nashville, TN, USA
Dare we say, the best cold brew in Nashville? Well, we said it. Lovely non-profit shop in a quiet part of town, right by Lipscomb University. They have beans from (at least) three continents, and the cold brew had that perfect balance of fruit and dark chocolate.
View Details
Studio 24
Miami, FL, USA
What a welcome (and much needed!) addition to the Miami coffeeshop and cold brew scene. Super creative coffee and matcha drinks, insanely good desserts and just an overall sweet vibe to hang out, work and listen to local DJ sets. They're better known for their specialty drinks but we always come for the cold brew. Instantly one of the best in Miami.

Curious Buds Specialty Coffee
Luxembourg, Luxembourg
Asian-inspired (Taiwan?), this cafe in the city center serves a bubbly cold brew in a glass flask. Non traditional but quite refreshing.

Recently AddedThe Green Room by Blank Street
New York, NY, USA
A pleasant little surprise to come across the Green Room in SoHo. I'm not sure what it means or its relationship to Blank, it may be matcha, but we come for cold brew, and we left quite satisfied. Floral with smooth caramel and a hint of honeysuckle. Approved.

Simpl Coffee
New York, NY, USA
Midtown East's cold brew of choice, according to this blog. Tiny but effective, with shockingly reasonable pricing.

Sesame
North Miami, FL, USA
Chic, family-friendly cafe in the FIU Biscayne Bay campus. The cold brew was extremely smooth and well balanced.

Crema Coffee House
Denver, CO, USA
The juice machine here is impressive, as is the juice it produces. But we came for the cold brew, and to no surprise, it was excellent. RiNo does cold brew the right way: big cup, lot of ice, delicious.

Irga
Taipei, Taiwan
A literal masterclass: coffee tasting of super premium "cold drips" from around the world. Mix and match to your heart's desire.

Berkeley, CA, USA
Surprisingly one of the few places in Downtown Berkeley to get a cold brew coffee. A balanced brew, located next to a bike shop and friendly vibes all around.

Tasteful Japanese vibes with a banging' sound system and vinyl. Super solid cold brew, with a couple of roast options. Surprise treat: a bomb pastrami croissant.

Tucked away on the corner, The Line makes an excellent light roast-based nitro cold brew. They sell large to-go bottles for $10, helpful if you're traveling and need a home stash.

They serve corn milk, they have Frank Ocean references on the menu, and they greet you with a smile. The CB is dark and smooth, and it's an easy "I approve".

Kafei Korner Sablon
Brussels, Belgium
Light, bright and floral CB, reminiscent of the top shops in Taipei. They also serve fluffy pancakes, which is always an acceptable form of doing business. Two other locations in the city.

Stella Takeaway Corner
Brussels, Belgium
Serves possibly the best medium roast in Europe, at the time of this writing. Highly recommended if you enjoy looking at walls with hundreds of polaroid photos of dogs.

Equator Coffees
San Francisco, CA, USA
With a few locations in SF, Equator is a staple among techies and VCs. The location at SFO might be the highest quality coffee in any american airport.
