Iced Coffee
Iced Long Black
Espresso's boldest cold format
$6.00
The Story
The iced long black is an Australian creation — the cold counterpart of Australia's signature hot long black. Just as the hot version involves pouring espresso over hot water to preserve crema, the iced version involves pouring espresso over cold water and ice — maintaining the coffee's full flavour intensity without dairy.
The drink is particularly popular among specialty coffee enthusiasts who want to appreciate the flavour nuances of their espresso without the interference of milk. The cold temperature emphasises different flavour notes — acidity and fruit notes become more prominent when coffee is cold, while bitterness recedes, making the iced long black an excellent showcase for high-quality, single-origin espresso.
At Cappadocia, the iced long black is the go-to choice for serious coffee lovers on warm days — a clean, powerful, and refreshing drink that demonstrates the quality of our espresso without any embellishment.
