With the sunny weather (hopefully) just around the corner, it’s time to ditch the hot coffee and try out something a little cooler and refreshing.
I love a warm cup of coffee in a friendly, cosy setting as a pick-me-up when it’s cold outside.
But, now spring is here, I have been looking for some independent venues to get an iced latte while still getting my caffeine fix.
I’ve listed six coffee shops below that have great tasting iced lattes that I’m sure you’ll enjoy just as much.
Henry’s Coffee House
Henry’s Coffee House is an independent café that offers a place to unwind after a busy day where you can grab a drink with friends.
They have a range of iced coffees, including café lattes, cappuccinos, americanos and tea.
They also offer cakes and patisseries such as cinnamon swirl, custard Danish and carrot cake which would go alongside a refreshing iced drink nicely.
Address: 28 Seagate, Dundee, DD1 2EQ and 4 City Square, Dundee, DD1 3BA
Empire State Coffee
Empire State Coffee has been around Dundee for more than a decade. At their premises on Whitehall Crescent they offer a range of unique flavours and exquisite tastes.
They use their own freshly roasted coffee beans with a medium-dark roast blend which consists of three types of beans.
The iced lattes available can be upgraded and customers can include one of their different syrup flavours such as caramel, vanilla and hazelnut to add some sweetness to their drinks.
They have a selection of freshly made sourdough croissants, cakes and traybakes and other baked goods to try.
Address: 28 Whitehall Crescent, Dundee, DD1 4AY
Blend
The independent coffee lounge that is Blend specialises in delivering the finest tasting coffee in the city.
They have exciting iced coffee blends to try, such as chai, Jaffa mocha and toffee nut.
Don’t forget to try out their newest item on the menu – the cookie dough brownie.

As well as operating at their main parlour in St Andrews, Jannettas has opened a new gelateria on the Dundee waterfront on the lawn of Slessor Gardens close to the V&A.
They have launched new ice latte flavours with their secret mix and sweet flavours such as vanilla and caramel.
Head down to Jannettas on a sunny day in either Dundee and enjoy an iced latte at the waterfront! Alternatively, you can head to St Andrews for a walk along the beach.
