Coffee Aid

Kool Lime

"Coffee Aid" is a new type of refreshment beverage that uses a fruity beverage base made with lime juice and other ingredients to extract the flavor of coffee using a special method. The refreshing taste is perfect for the hot season, with a hint of coffee flavor as an aftertaste. The refreshing drink is finished with a freeze-dried lime topping. It looks and tastes cool and refreshing.

We are curious about this new item. The En-Eat editorial staff tried the drink ahead of others!

What? Is it really coffee?

A cool cup perfect for summer. A sip of the drink and you'll see that it is ...... that? Where is the coffee......? Yes, the presence of coffee is more modest than expected. What comes first is the fresh citrus aroma, sweetness, and acidity that pops. The beverage base is made with lime juice and other ingredients, and tastes like citrus juice. When you drink it while looking for the coffee flavor, you can feel a slight aftertaste of the richness that only coffee can provide.

The drink was designed "on purpose" to have less coffee flavor so that people who do not normally drink coffee can enjoy it. In addition, the color of the coffee is not black in order to create a cool appearance. This is the key point!


The topping is freeze-dried lime. It is refreshing to the eye, and as you drink it, the lime absorbs the water and the fresh aroma intensifies. I want to gulp this down!


The bitterness of the citrus lingering in the back of your throat, the popping fresh aroma, and the sweetness are addictive and delicious. We think you will especially like it if you are a fan of citrus flavors. The coffee is best enjoyed as-is, with a hint of coffee flavor, and can be customized with white moka syrup or chai syrup from the second cup onward.

Coffee Aid is also available at Roastery Tokyo from the same day. A total of two types will be available: "Coffee Aid Orange Delight" with fresh orange added to the coffee flavor extracted from the beverage base, and "Coffee Aid Lime Mint" with lime and mint added to the base.

Coffee Aid Orange Delight 1,031 yen to-go, 1,050 yen in-store
Coffee Aid Lime Mint 1,080 yen to-go, 1,100 yen in-store

The new Starbucks "Coffee Aid Cool Lime" is perfect for the hot summer. Even those who don't usually drink coffee should give it a try!
