Otherwise, you can opt for their Iced Chocolate ($5) or Orange Juice ($5), which are apt for the sweltering weather.

If you love their coffee, you can consider getting their house-blend coffee beans that range from $20 to $50. This is a great alternative for those who don’t live in the vicinity of Dempsey!
