Taco Bell has introduced its first coffee drinks, with a new Cold Brew and range of Cold Foams now available at select Live Más Café locations. The beverages are on offer in Houston, Dallas, Las Vegas and Southern California.
The Cold Brew uses a proprietary blend of medium and dark roast Arabica beans. It can be ordered on its own or with three Cold Foam flavours: Caramel Dulce Cream, Vanilla Cream and Purple Velvet Cream – the latter a purple-hued, horchata-inspired topping. Prices are $4.59 for a 16-ounce cup or $4.99 for 20 ounces, with or without the foam.
Liz Matthews, Taco Bell's Global Chief Food Innovation Officer, said the company has spent decades building a bold flavour legacy and is bringing the same innovative mindset to coffee. She described Cold Brew and Cold Foams as a natural next step in building the Café experience, offering a flavour-forward, premium coffee for fans' everyday routines.
To mark the permanent addition to the menu, customers who order a medium Cold Brew on May 30 from 7 a.m. will receive a limited-edition bandana while stocks last. The company has also revealed plans for other beverages later this year, including the Salt & Straw Tacolate Chiller and Strawberry Horchata Refresca, as well as desserts such as Crème Brûlée Crunchwrap Slider, Chocolate Fudge and Caramel Empanadas, and a Milk Bar Birthday Cake Empanada.
Separately, Taco Bell has launched a new version of its Mexican Pizza, replacing the usual seasoned beef with slow-roasted chicken. The Cantina Chicken Mexican Pizza retains the refried beans and cheese blend but adds green chile sauce, shredded purple cabbage and pico de gallo, and is served with a Jalapeño Citrus Salsa Sauce. It costs $6.49.
