Taco Bell Rolls Out Shocking New Menu Items at Limited Locations

Starting today, May 21, Taco Bell has launched a few new menu items that customers might not think are the next logical step. However, over the last few years, the fast-food chain has expanded its offerings beyond just tacos and burritos to include popular items like Nacho Fries and Crispy Chicken Nuggets. So when it comes to new Taco Bell items, perhaps customers should always expect the unexpected. That being said, the restaurant company has now jumped into the coffee business.

Taco Bell Launches Its Cold Brew Lineup

Available at Taco Bell's Live Más Cafés, the chains are now serving cold brew that customers can purchase and pair with three unique flavorings. Here's what's new, as described by Taco Bell (keep in mind that prices may vary depending on location):

• Cold Brew (16oz/20oz; $4.59/$4.99**): A rich, full-bodied Cold Brew made with a proprietary blend of medium and dark roast Arabica beans sourced from coffee-growing regions across Latin America. Slow cold extraction creates a balanced, low-acid profile that's easy to sip, while air-roasted beans deliver a naturally rich flavor in every cup.
• Purple Velvet Cream Cold Brew (16oz/20oz; $4.59/$4.99**): Taco Bell's signature Cold Brew paired with a creamy, velvety Cold Foam infused with warm horchata notes and Taco Bell's distinctive purple hue, creating a sweet finish that seamlessly melts into the coffee.
• Caramel Dulce Cream Cold Brew (16oz/20oz; $4.59/$4.99**): A rich take on Cold Brew featuring a smooth coffee base finished with a lightly sweet, creamy Cold Foam layered with buttery caramel notes that blend into every sip.
• Vanilla Cream Cold Brew (16oz/20oz; $4.59/$4.99**): Cold Brew elevated with a creamy, velvety vanilla cream Cold Foam, adding a lightly sweet and smooth finish.

Where to Buy Taco Bell's Cold Brews?

Again, the new cold brew products are only available at the Live Más Cafés. In particular, at locations in Houston, Dallas, Las Vegas, and Southern California. To see if there is a location near you, be sure to visit the Live Más Café locator. As of publication, it's not known if/when there will be a nationwide release of the Taco Bell cold brews.
