7 Copycat Coffee Shop Drinks You Can Make at Home
Love your daily coffee fix but not the price tag that comes with it? You don’t have to sacrifice flavor—or your wallet—to enjoy café-quality drinks. With a few pantry staples and a little creativity, you can recreate your favorite coffee shop beverages right in your kitchen. Here are 7 copycat drinks that taste just like the real thing (or better).
Iced Caramel Macchiato
Start with chilled espresso or strong coffee, pour over ice, and layer with milk and a drizzle of caramel syrup. Stir for that perfect sweet-meets-bold flavor that rivals your favorite café version.
Pumpkin Spice Latte
Mix brewed coffee with warm milk, a spoonful of pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and a touch of maple syrup. Top with whipped cream and cinnamon for cozy fall vibes any time of year. 🎃
Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew
Combine cold brew coffee with a splash of homemade vanilla syrup and a quick pour of sweetened cream. It’s smooth, refreshing, and far cheaper than the drive-thru.
Mocha Latte
Blend hot coffee with cocoa powder, a bit of sugar, and steamed milk. Finish with a swirl of whipped cream and chocolate shavings for a decadent treat. 🍫
Chai Tea Latte
Steep black tea with chai spices—like cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves—then mix with steamed milk and a drizzle of honey. It’s spicy, sweet, and perfectly soothing.
Matcha Green Tea Latte
Whisk matcha powder with a splash of hot water until frothy, then stir in warm milk and a touch of honey or vanilla syrup. Energizing, earthy, and antioxidant-rich. 🍵
Iced Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso
Combine espresso (or strong coffee) with brown sugar syrup and ice in a shaker, then top with a splash of oat milk. Shake well for that signature creamy foam and caramel-like sweetness.
