Reviewed August 2026 by creator. Built around the drinks people ask for when Venice is hot.
Summer drinks at Saint Maxime Coffee should be cold, clean, and easy to choose. The short list is Strawberry Matcha, Strawberry Latte, Fig Leaf Cream Top Cold Brew, and Espresso Tonic or Cold Brew Tonic.
Choose by mood first, not by trend.
Strawberry Matcha is the first summer order if you want something bright, cold, and still clearly matcha. It layers house-made strawberry, milk of your choice, and ceremonial-grade Kagoshima matcha.
Order this when you want fruit, color, and a clean matcha finish.
Strawberry Latte is the coffee-side summer move: espresso or coffee, milk, and strawberry. It is for the person who wants the soft berry feeling of a strawberry drink but still wants coffee as the base.
Order this when matcha is not the mood, but you still want a cold strawberry drink.
Fig Leaf Cream Top Cold Brew is the richer summer coffee. It starts with cold brew, then gets a soft cream top, house fig leaf syrup, and lime zest so the drink stays cold, creamy, and lifted.
Order this when you want cold brew with texture instead of a plain iced coffee.
Espresso Tonic is sharper: sparkling, bitter-sweet, and more immediate. Cold Brew Tonic is smoother and longer, with a softer coffee base. Both make sense when Venice is hot and a milk drink feels too heavy.
Order espresso tonic for bite. Order cold brew tonic for a smoother summer coffee.
Choose Strawberry Matcha or Espresso Tonic if you want something cold, bright, and easy to walk with.
Choose Fig Leaf Cream Top Cold Brew with Uncle Dan Crepes, especially if you want the coffee to feel more complete.
Choose Cold Brew Tonic when milk feels too heavy but plain cold brew sounds too flat.
