The Human Bean's Summer Drink Fest continues to provide refreshment throughout the summer with all-new additions like the limited-time Affogato Smoothie.
Inspired by the Italian Riviera, this espresso-themed blend fuses hot and cold elements in a fresh new way with a vanilla smoothie base and espresso pour-over. More portable than a traditional affogato order, this smoothie for coffee lovers offers the best features of the rich and creamy dessert with a convenience-focused twist.
The Affogato Smoothie is arriving alongside smooth and creamy Cocoa Cabana, which shares the taste of small-batch cold brew topped with Cold Foam infused with a chocolate-macadamia blend. Other menu favorites that can be savored as part of Summer Drink Fest at The Human Bean include Dragonade Iced Tea and The Electric Dragon.
