The much-awaited holiday drinks are back at the Cafe 2020, with some new inclusions. One of the returning drinks is the much-loved Irish Cream cold brew, featuring cold foam, cold brew, and Irish cream-flavored syrup. Even the classic Peppermint Mocha and Peppermint Hot Chocolate make their return to spread the holiday cheer. White Chocolate Mocha fans are in for a treat too. The new Toasted White Chocolate Mocha adds a new element of flavor that shies away from the classic order many students like.
The Caramel Brûlée Latte is another returning favorite any sweet tooth is sure to enjoy, adding a little variation to the classic caramel coffee drinks. Another brand-new drink will be featured in this year’s holiday menu: the Sugar Cookie Almond Milk Latte. The new sugar cookie syrup combines your favorite bakery treat with a classic latte for a great seasonal drink without the dairy.
Lastly, even if you aren’t a fan of sweet drinks, Cafe 2020 has a holiday blend brewed coffee that can be enjoyed no matter how you like it. Ursinus students have been anticipating these all semester. “It’s really nice that they’re bringing back these holiday drinks, especially since they ran out of the pumpkin ones. The sugar cookie latte especially looks festive!” commented Sydney Bowman ‘22. Emmy Selfridge ‘23 said “the sprinkles are awesome. I love the holiday cups and how it reminds me of Christmas time.”
All of the aforementioned beverages will be available to order starting November 4. Just remember, all of these are customizable to your preference. Just tell your barista and they’ll be happy to make your drink any way that will spread the holiday cheer.
