Now that you know when to visit, let’s dive into what makes this café so special.
Classic Coffee With a Twist
Dr.ink’s menu starts with the classics, but even these are brewed with care and precision. These drinks are anything but ordinary, from the robust Espresso ($3.50) to the velvety smooth Latte ($5.25). If you’re a fan of cold coffee, their Cold Brew ($5.00) delivers a bold yet refreshing punch.
But why stop at basic when you can elevate your experience? Their Seasonal Drinks, like the decadent S’mores Mocha ($7.25)—complete with torched marshmallows—are here to make your coffee break feel like a cozy campfire moment.
Crafted Creations for the Adventurous
Feeling adventurous? The Crafted section of the menu is where Dr.ink really shines. These drinks are like edible art pieces, blending unexpected flavors into something extraordinary.
- The Black Sesame Latte ($7.00) combines nutty black sesame cream with espresso for a unique flavor profile (though it’s so popular it often sells out).
- The Cinnamon Latte ($7.00), torched with sugar on top, feels like drinking dessert in a cup.
- For something refreshing yet caffeinated, try the Orange Brew ($7.00), which pairs cold brew coffee with orange purée and oat milk foam—a citrusy twist on your usual pick-me-up.
Tea Lovers Rejoice
Not a coffee drinker? No problem! Dr.ink’s tea menu is just as impressive. Their Puritea offerings include everything from the floral notes of Jasmine Green Tea ($5.25) to the earthy richness of Ruby Black Tea ($5.25). If you prefer creamy tea, try their Tea Lattes, such as the ceremonial-grade Matcha Latte ($6.50) or the smoky-sweet Hojicha Latte ($6.50).
Fruthie: Smoothies With a Tea Twist
Dr.ink’s Fruthie line offers smoothies blended with premium teas and topped with crystal boba and cream tops for those who crave something fruity and refreshing. Flavors like Mango, Strawberry, and Honeydew (all $7.00) are as delicious as photogenic—though they tend to sell out fast!
Ink Series: Colorful and Caffeine-Free
Dr.ink doesn’t forget about non-caffeine drinkers, either! Their Ink series features colorful creations like:
- The nutty and creamy Black Ink ($6.00) is made with peanut and black beans.
- The tropical blue-hued Blue Ink ($6.00) features coconut and spirulina.
- The vibrant pink-hued Pink Ink ($6.00) blends strawberries and beets into a sweet treat.
These drinks are delicious and perfect for those Instagram shots that’ll make your followers jealous.
