The iced Black Camo Latte at Sawada Coffee in Chicago's West Loop is a drink that's hard to explain until you taste it. Hojicha and espresso over ice, with cocoa powder and vanilla makes it roasty, earthy, and rich but not heavy. Too many iced lattes feel like a delivery mechanism for caffeine; this one feels like it was actually designed to be drunk slowly and enjoyed. For a spot tucked inside a smoked meats hall decorated with stickers and skateboard decks, the precision of this drinks catches you off guard every time.
