The Best Coffee Drinks
in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach
Change can be good, especially when it comes to your coffee. Your standard breakfast brew may wake you up, but it may not be stunning you with its full, fantastic flavor. As one of your first drinks of the day, shouldn’t it also be the most delicious?
On the Alabama Gulf Coast, we care about our coffee. Our area is full of unique, locally-owned coffee shops specializing in craft blends and specialty drinks. Before spending a full day of fun on the beach, grab one of these tasty coffees!
Specialty Coffees on Alabama's Beaches
Southern Shores Coffee: The Bushwhacker Blend
Southern Shores Coffee: The Bushwhacker Blend
Southern Shore's signature blend tastes so much like the beloved beach cocktail that you may be double-checking your cup for ice cream (and rum). It’s crafted from 100% Arabica beans roasted onsite and flavored with cream of coconut and chocolate undertones, offering a rich, full-bodied flavor that’s as sweet as a shoreline sunrise. The best way to enjoy this delicious blend is a frappe.
Foam Coffee: Sea Salt & Honey Latte
Foam Coffee: Sea Salt & Honey Latte
There’s no place like Foam if you’re looking for delicious craft coffee. This trendy Gulf Shores coffee shop offers specialty drinks made from fresh, locally roasted coffees that are the perfect pick-me-up. You’ve got to try their “made-with-love lattes,” served hot with a happy heart pressed right into the foam. The Sea Salt and Honey Latte is a fan favorite with the perfect blend of sweet and salty flavors. Why choose one when you can have both in one cup?
BuzzCatz Coffee & Sweets: Cappuccino
BuzzCatz Coffee & Sweets: Cappuccino
If your day is jam-packed with exciting activities, you need a caffeine boost to keep you going. BuzzCatz Coffee & Sweets is an Orange Beach coffee shop that serves all the classic brews like lattes, macchiatos, and mochas. However, it's impossible to get enough of their cappuccino. You’ll get the energy you need from a cup of this espresso-based goodness. Pair it with a Cat Head biscuit or BuzzCatz “PopTart” for a perfect beach breakfast.
Beach Girl Coffee: Fresh Signature Roast
Beach Girl Coffee: Fresh Signature Roast
Sometimes, it’s best to go back to the basics. Beach Girl Coffee does just that with their Signature Roast Coffee, a drink they describe as “a piping hot cup of fabulous.” This no-frills coffee is full of flavor and made from freshly roasted beans, creating a cup that will delight the most discerning coffee drinkers. As Gulf Shores’ only drive-through coffee shop, they’ll pack your cup to travel and send you on your way with a sweet southern smile.
The Southern Grind: Nitro Draft
The Southern Grind: Nitro Draft
Southern Grind’s delicious Nitro Draft will change how you think about cold-brewed coffee. It’s infused with nitrogen gas using a pressurized valve and dispensed through a draft system. The result is a smooth, rich, and clean coffee with a creamy feel and a foamy top you would expect from a stout. Speaking of stouts, you can also try their Dublin cold brew, which adds Guinness to this iced coffee concoction.
Roasted Oak: Eagle's Nest
Roasted Oak: Eagle's Nest
If you’re staying at The Lodge or simply searching for a great latte, try the Eagle's Nest at Roasted Oak. Located in the hotel’s lobby, Roasted Oak serves wine, beer, and incredible specialty coffees, and you don’t have to be a guest of The Lodge to stop by. The Eagle’s Nest latte offers the perfect combination of coconut, chocolate, and almond flavors and can be served hot or cold. After you’ve grabbed a cup, sit on the porch and watch the waves as you sip on this heavenly coffee.
Selah Coffee: FOMO Chill
Selah Coffee: FOMO Chill
Guests at Kiva Dunes are likely to stop by Selah Coffee at least once or twice during their stay. This quaint and cute coffee shop is open to the public and offers a variety of specialty coffees, smoothies, and ice cream. One of the spot's unique drinks is the FOMO Chill, which is crafted with espresso, white chocolate syrup, salted caramel syrup, and milk. It can be served hot or iced, but on a warm beach day, iced is the best way to go.
