Aroma has 'light' ice coffee which is about 120 calories for the smaller cup (its listed on their electronic screen menus). Its the one I usually buy. I don't think it has much fat, as its more water based than the regular.

I'm trying to get back to losing some weight, so lately I try to order קפה קר instead of ice coffee. Its very refreshing, good, freezing coffee, pretty much zero calories if its

Why isn't Sanguine chiming in?
Isn't she a huge, self-proclaimed coffee fiend?
Maybe she only drinks it hot, like me...

At these coffee shops, do they prepare it fresh, or do they have a machine?

Usually machine. About a month ago I went out with a friend for coffee in a new local place. It was mid-morning and the place was doing a very brisk trade.
We sat down and I asked for my usual Americano (with a nice buttery croissant) and was told by the waiter that there was no coffee!! because the machine was broken.
Well, I was very unhappy indeed. So I bit the bullet and asked for an ice-coffee instead. Unbelieveably, the waiter shamefacedly told me that the ice coffee machine was broken as well! At that point I wanted to leave but could tell that my friend wasn't so keen on the idea of going elsewhere so we had to make do with anemic iced tea. Very unsatisfactory Sad

My favourite is Coffee Bean - Ice Blend

But for a no sugar version, I love English Cakes's Cold coffee. Expresso poured over ice, and milk added. (sort of cold hafuch not hafuch)

I am not a coffee or ice coffee drinker. I will appreciate hot cocoa in the winter. That being said my funny story. After my year in seminary my friend and I flew to ny where we hung out until her parents came to get us. We went out for our first american breakfast in a year and the waiter comes to take our orders. My friend sees on the menu an ice coffee and orders it. I saw her trying not to be shocked when they brought her coffee with ice cubes!!!! She was used to the israeli slushi stuff!!!

thats my story hope u all liked it Smile

So as I mentioned before ice coffee pecan in cafe cafe is the best.
Runner up is the kids ice coffee(chocolate nougut flavored) from zisalek.
And believe me I have tried EVERY other ice coffee.
After my three day birth in haddassa I told my dh that the only thing I want is a shower and an ice coffee from the aroma down stairs.
And the last thing I do before flying out of this country is buy an ice coffee from aroma in the duty free.
I know ice coffee

I go to McDonald's and get a coffee afuk and a large cup of ice. Make my own ice coffee, no sugar, no chemicals, for around 5 shekels. Wink

I'll second Katzefet, but only if they put in caramel, next is greens with their dairy choco. syrup, Waffle Bars comes in pretty close, with Sam's bagels lagging a couple steps behind.

Green's does have amazing flavors. They are also enormous, and enormously priced, too.
