Personally, I like:
Turkish coffee, I received a cezve as a gift, Lots of crema (they don’t call it that, but it’s very frothy).
Coffee soda. Double shot espresso in a glass of ice, add soda water to taste. Great when it’s hot out.
Coffee milk. Same double shot in a glass of milk, with lots of sugar. Reminds me of my childhood. The official state drink of Rhode Island.
Thanks for reminding me I need to try the new beans I just got as a sprover. The iced americano was a banger. Sprover should be even better.
Affogato is my personal favourite non typical coffee drink/dessert
Since I live in Vietnam these are not exactly less common here but would be back in the States:
- Egg Coffee (which is not super common because it is crazy sweet)

- Ice Coffee with condensed milk. An excellent treat on a hot Hanoi afternoon.

Coffee tonic water at my local cafe is pretty great on a hot day. Give it a go.
1/3 coffee (or better, kalhua)
1/3 vodka
1/3 milk or 10% cream
Coftea, with milk and sugar tastes divine, but maybe only because I’m brewing it with both cheap tea and cheap coffee.
A strong cup of black coffee.
