Protein Coffee

Your coffee order, upgraded to breakfast.

Made fresh in Bolingbrook.

Iced protein coffee with whipped topping and caramel drizzle

Four flavors cover the classic coffeehouse board — House Blend, Mocha, Caramel Machiatto, and Chai — without the sugar bomb that usually comes with flavored coffee drinks.

The four flavors are only part of the story — there are iced coffee and latte options too, plus the honest word on which line of the menu is milk-based.

Is protein coffee OK in the afternoon?

Earlier is better. Every flavor carries 160mg of caffeine, Chai included, so give it the same cutoff you'd give any strong cup. For most bedtimes that means the morning or early afternoon. Here's how to work out your own coffee cutoff from your bedtime.

When's the best time to come in for a protein coffee?

Any time before lunch. On busy weekday mornings, order ahead online and skip the line at the counter. Here's the best times to beat the coffee rush in Bolingbrook.

Is it OK to drink protein coffee every day?

For most adults, yes. One 24 oz cup carries 160mg of caffeine, well under the 400mg a day the FDA cites for most adults. Just count any other coffee, tea or energy drinks you have that day. Here's what a daily coffee habit really does, and why the sugar matters more than the caffeine.
