We know Mondays are brutal. You have 8am lecture and you just can’t make it through without a little pick me up caffeine. But it’s too cold for your classic iced tea; instead you wanna warm your hands around a good ole cup of joe or a festive latte. Turn any bad day around with these winter drinks.

1. Koffee?: Nutella Latte

NUTELLA latte…um YUM. We all love nutella and we all love caffeine so why not combine the two and make today the best day ever? If you’re like me and find coffee too bitter, take your sweet tooth over to Koffee and buy yourself this a-maze-ing drink. The nutella smooths out the bitterness of coffee. If you are feeling super fun, top it off with a nice dollop of whipped cream!

2. Maison Mathis: Almond Milk Chai Latte

This Almond Milk Chai Latte will NOT fail you. This smooth and frothy drink will bring joy to your day as you slowly lick your foam milk-stache and savor the almond nutty flavor. The warm mixture of almond milk with the masala chai spices will erase all of your worries and instead makes your brain play “Happy” by Pharrell all day long. *warning: you might actually start clapping*

3. Blue State: Chaider

You may not be familiar with the term Chaider, but soon you’ll be ordering it like a pro. Chaider = a beautiful mixture of Cider and Chai. Wait? Cider and Chai in one drink?! Your mind is bound to be blown from the explosion of flavors bouncing around your mouth. You think it’s cider, you think it’s chai. What is it? Chaider.

4. Book Trader Cafe: Coffee

Sometimes a classic cup of coffee packed with sugar and cream makes us happy. If it’s one of those simple days head on over to Book Trader’s and grab a nice cup of coffee. We HIGHLY recommend buying a few scones and dipping them into your freshly brewed cup of coffee.

5. Atticus: Latte
