Cold drinks have a unique way of shaping our days. They refresh, quench our thirst, awaken the senses, or bring comfort on warm summer afternoons. At Mlle Potts & Co, we've imagined them as much more than a seasonal alternative: they extend the warm and welcoming experience of our tearoom in a lighter, more plant-based, and sometimes sparkling way.

Behind every glass lies a story, genuine craftsmanship, and an invitation to slow down. Here's a selection of our must-try drinks for summer—and beyond!

🌟 Fermented & Live Cultures

KEFIR & KOMBUCHA

Some drinks tell a deeper story. That's certainly true of our fermented beverages, perfect for anyone looking for an original, low-sugar drink full of character.

Fruit Kéfir — La Brasserie Parallèle

Originating from an ancient tradition believed to date back to the Caucasus Mountains, fruit kefir is a living drink naturally sparkling thanks to the activity of the yeasts and bacteria found in kefir grains. At Mlle Potts & Co, we offer three flavours brewed by Brasserie Parallèle: Passion Fruit, Raspberry-Hibiscus, and L'Éphémère, a seasonal recipe that changes two to three times a year.

♥️Unpasteurised and naturally rich in probiotics!

Kombucha — Mama Kombucha

Made from a SCOBY (a living tea culture), using a fermentation process similar to vinegar making, kombucha offers a complex flavour profile with delicate acidity. It's the perfect drink for adventurous palates. Discover three Mama Kombucha flavours: Baïgura (Mint), Byron Bay (Raspberry & Basil), and Jo&Jo (Turmeric & Ginger).

♥️Made with 100% locally sourced ingredients!

🌺 Floral & Refreshing

ICED TEAD & BISSAP

Here, freshness takes on a gentler, floral and instantly thirst-quenching form. Drinks that evoke the lightness of sunny days, to be savoured with your eyes closed.

Homemade Bissap

Recognisable by its deep ruby-red colour, this traditional West African drink is made from hibiscus flowers. It delights with its perfect balance of fruity sweetness and gentle tanginess.

♥️A true journey in every sip, instantly bringing to mind sunny days.

Iced Tea

Light, delicately flavoured, and homemade, it naturally extends our selection of hot teas. The perfect companion for an afternoon of work or a chat on the terrace.

♥️ Our recipes evolve constantly, featuring both classic Palais des Thés teas and original creations made with a variety of tea and herbal infusions.

🍋 Home & Gourmet

HOMEMADE LEMONADE & SYRUPTS

Some recipes stand the test of time without ever losing their charm. Lemonade and koso embody simple pleasure: just a few ingredients for pure, refreshing flavour.

Citronnade

The ultimate thirst-quencher with an invigorating twist. We've all seen those iconic $1 lemonade stands in American movies... Ours is less sweet and made with real lemons!

♥️ A hint of cinnamon and sweetened with agave syrup—that's our secret!

Koso

A traditional Japanese raw fruit syrup, naturally rich in nutrients, koso preserves the goodness of seasonal fruits while benefiting from lactic fermentation. Flavours change throughout the year depending on what's in season.

♥️ Try it as a diabolo with Brasserie Mascaret lemonade!

🍪 The Perfect Pairing: Cold Drinks & Sweet Treats

At Mlle Potts & Co, no break is complete without a little indulgence. To bring out the best in our cold drinks, pair them with one of our homemade sweet treats:

  • A fresh juice of the day with our homemade granola, served over skyr or vanilla soy yoghurt for a vitamin-packed breakfast or snack.

  • An iced matcha latte paired with our delicate orange blossom madeleine: a timeless combination full of flavour and antioxidants.

From traditional fermented drinks to the comforting classics of our childhood, our menu has been designed to bring a breath of fresh air to your breaks. Because, whatever you choose, happiness is all about sharing good moments together.
