Taco Bell is enhancing its beverage offerings with the introduction of Cold Brew and Cold Foams at select locations nationwide. This launch, which coincides with the expansion of its Live Más Cafés, marks the fast food chain’s foray into coffee drinks, inviting fans to enjoy a new flavorful experience.
New Beverage Launch
The fast food chain announced its first coffee offerings last Thursday at the Live Más Cafés located in select restaurants across Houston, Dallas, Las Vegas, and Southern California, according to a press release.
The new Cold Brew is crafted from a proprietary blend of medium and dark roast Arabica beans. Customers can choose to enjoy it plain or enhance their drink with one of three Cold Foam flavors: Caramel Dulce Cream, Vanilla Cream, or Purple Velvet Cream, the latter featuring an eye-catching, horchata-inspired topping.
Consumers can purchase the 16-ounce Cold Brew for $4.59 or the 20-ounce version for $4.99, available at the same price with or without the Cold Foam addition.
“We’ve spent decades building a bold flavor legacy at Taco Bell, and now we’re bringing that same innovative mindset to coffee at Live Más Café,” said Liz Matthews, Taco Bell’s Global Chief Food Innovation Officer, in a statement. “As we continue to build the Café experience, Cold Brew and Cold Foams felt like the natural next step – bringing a flavor-forward, premium coffee experience into fans’ everyday routines.”

To celebrate the addition of these permanent menu items, Live Más Café will offer a limited-edition bandana to customers who purchase a medium Cold Brew starting May 30 at 7 a.m., while supplies last.
Earlier this year, Taco Bell unveiled plans for caffeinated beverages during its Live Más Live event in March. Additional drinks expected to materialize in the U.S. this year include the Salt & Straw Tacolate Chiller and Strawberry Horchata Refresca.
Moreover, anticipated dessert options consist of a Crème Brûlée Crunchwrap Slider, Chocolate Fudge and Caramel Empanadas, and a Milk Bar Birthday Cake Empanada.
In other news, Taco Bell has also reintroduced a new version of its Mexican Pizza, which traditionally features seasoned beef and warm refried beans between two crispy flour tortillas, topped with pizza sauce, cheese, and diced tomatoes. This time, however, they have substituted the beef with slow-roasted chicken, resulting in the innovative Cantina Chicken Mexican Pizza.
The new offering retains the same beans and cheese blend as the original but costs $6.49. It is topped with a green chile sauce, shredded purple cabbage, and pico de gallo, accompanied by a Jalapeño Citrus Salsa Sauce that combines red jalapeños and guajillo chiles for a sweet and spicy flavor profile.
