2720 Oak Lawn Ave
Dallas, TX 75219

(214) 219-5511

Visit Website

This airy, modern coffee shop boasts "the best iced coffee in Dallas," and judging by its loyal customer base, plenty of people agree. The cold brew is very popular (and very caffeinated), but there's also iced Americanos, iced chai lattes and creamy frozen lattes. For something a little different, try the shaken espresso, which is shaken up with ice to chill then spiked with a little cream or milk and (optional) simple or flavored syrup.

Also Featured in:

9. Pearl Cup

2701 Custer Pkwy
Richardson, TX

Visit Website

Pearl Cup Coffee’s signature latte is a warm and cozy treat in chilly weather, but is equally amazing over ice. The Iced Pearl Cup Latte is creamy, caramelly, and totally indulgent.

10. Weekend Coffee

1511 Commerce St.
Dallas, TX 75201

(214) 261-4545

Visit Website

Weekend Coffee inside the Joule offers bottled Kyoto-style drip made with Seattle’s Victrola Coffee. Pro tip: Stash a few of these bottles in your fridge for your next outdoor picnic or party – they’ll keep in your fridge for up to 5 days.

13. Mudsmith

2114 Greenville Ave
Dallas, TX 75206

(214) 370-9535

Visit Website

Mudsmith's iced toddy packs a punch, thanks to a 16-hour cold brew process. (It's also served in a mason jar, which seems all too appropriate for the hipster-friendly Lowest Greenville location.) For a little something different, try the iced mint mocha, made with Dude Sweet cocoa, mint syrup, and espresso with your choice of milk (they've even got soy, almond, and coconut) over ice.

Your average neighborhood doughnut shops aren't generally known for great coffee, but Seattle-based Top Pot breaks that mold: They have their very own roastery in downtown Seattle. Their cold-brew is delightfully smooth, whether you take it black or add cream and sweetener; either way, it pairs perfectly with a salted caramel old-fashioned doughnut.
