They serve all the coffee-based hot drinks plus a refreshing iced coffee that's made a name for its delicious taste.

A Mexican favourite
Aguamiel is a Mexican-style café in Covent Garden and is also London's first specialised churreria. But it's not just churros they're good at making here; they also serve an iced horchata that's really got people talking. This popular drink is a Mexican favourite made with ground rice, milk and cinnamon, and the horchata cold brew at Aguamiel is the perfect balance of nutty and sweet. It's ideal if you prefer something a little different to your standard iced Americano.
