💡 What's interesting

Culturally, it represents the fusion of coffeehouse culture with dessert indulgence, often seen as a 'treat yourself' beverage. Nutritionally unique is how the nitrogen infusion in the cold brew creates a rich, stout-like foam that mimics the creaminess of dairy, allowing for a decadent texture even before the ice cream is added.
