Sipping Cold Brew at Galaxy’s Edge: A Coffee Lover’s Dream in a Galaxy Far, Far Away (Plus a DIY Recipe!)
If you're anything like me, a perfect day at Disney includes a little bit of magic and a whole lot of caffeine. And what better place to get that boost than in the heart of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge? As a self-proclaimed coffee connoisseur and die-hard Star Wars fan, I had my sights set on one thing the moment I entered Batuu: the legendary Cold Brew Black Caf.
I was excited to try this blend, served exclusively at Kat Saka’s Kettle, a charming market stand nestled in the bustling streets of Black Spire Outpost. Picture this: the whir of passing droids, the hum of spacecraft overhead, and the smell of exotic spices and roasted grains filling the air. Amid all the immersive chaos, there’s a quiet sense of belonging as you cradle your cold brew in hand.
The Cold Brew Black Caf is no ordinary iced coffee. This smooth, rich brew is topped with a sweet layer of cream cheese and cocoa puffs, offering a delicious contrast of flavors and textures. That first sip? It's a deep, bold roast with just a hint of sweetness from the cream. The cocoa puffs floating on top add an unexpected crunch, turning your drink into a treat that’s out of this world—literally.
Standing there, sipping my cold brew, I found myself completely transported. The details of Galaxy’s Edge truly make you feel like you’ve left Earth behind. And as I wandered the streets, my cup of cold brew in hand, I felt like I wasn’t just enjoying a coffee; I was living an adventure.
How to Make the Black Caf Cold Brew at Home
Missing Batuu already? No worries, I’ve got a simple recipe to bring the taste of the galaxy to your own kitchen!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of your favorite cold brew coffee
- 2 tablespoons of heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ounce cream cheese, softened
- Cocoa puffs cereal for topping
Instructions:
- Make the Cold Brew: Start with a cup of your favorite cold brew coffee. You can make your own or buy a pre-made bottle from the store. I like mine strong, so I go with a rich, dark roast for that bold flavor.
- Create the Cream Topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, softened cream cheese, and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and creamy. This is the magic that brings the rich, sweet layer to the drink!
- Assemble: Pour your cold brew over ice in a tall glass. Spoon the cream topping generously over the coffee. The cream will settle into the coffee just like in Batuu.
- Add the Crunch: Finish it off by sprinkling cocoa puffs on top. Not only do they add a fun texture, but they’ll also remind you of walking through the marketplace of Black Spire Outpost.
- Enjoy: Sip, savor, and be instantly transported back to Galaxy’s Edge.
For any coffee-loving travelers heading to Batuu, the Cold Brew Black Caf is a must-try. But if you're at home longing for a taste of the galaxy, this DIY version is the perfect way to relive the adventure.
