Enjoy Iced Coffee in the Virgin & Qantas Lounges

It's not widely advertised, but the baristas in the Virgin Australia Lounge and selected Qantas lounges can make you a refreshing iced coffee.

I didn't realise that this was a big deal. It's actually easier for the staff, same espresso shot, over a few ice cubes, and cold un-steamed milk. Quicker and easier than a "normal" latte.

Iced chocolate would appeal to me more! Not the modern version which is 80% ice but the older form which is more an unfrothy milkshake with all the fixin's added.

Some coffee shops in Australia will charge you up to double for an iced latte - nothing fancy, just espresso on ice topped with milk.

So stupid.

I wouldn't order an "Iced Coffee" in Australia though, that has a historic meaning of one with cream/ice cream, sugar etc; in the US it's iced filtered coffee. If you just want ice, espresso and milk - iced latte is the term.

Yep in Melbourne on Sunday it was $10.90 for an ice coffee and $5 for a regular coffee.

As a side note I’ve had an ice coffee in the Brisbane Qantas Club and the Brisbane international lounge before.

The guy in line next to me at Perth QF club ordered an iced long black while I was in line reading this…he got one.

A go to and had at most lounges including LAX and SIN. If you like it sweet you need to tell them to add sugar before ice or milk as do not have sugar syrup.

An iced latte is the go to drink of anyone under 25 so they should indeed be available.
