Popular drinks in Vizag that we all have enjoyed a sip of atleast once

As a coastal city, Visakhapatnam is usually high in humidity. Hence, people of the city have to hydrate themselves frequently. Now, while water serves its purpose, the people of Vizag have also picked up other forms of beverages. There are season-specific beverages and all-season beverages. Some popular drinks, like coconut water, perfectly capture the vibe of living in Vizag. Especially along Beach Road, you can find many beverage establishments that are hugely popular among the public. 

Here are different kinds of popular drinks that the people of Vizag absolutely love and can’t have enough of:

#1 Coffee or tea

Coffee and Vizag share a special love story. Araku Coffee, widely popular in the country, is easily found here. Added to that, the youth of the city has a surplus of cafes to pick from where they can grab a delicious cup of coffee. Places like Percolator and Bean Board are some of the well-known cafes that many people visit everyday.

Tea has its own fair presence in the city, especially at roadside stalls where the public flock to have an early morning cup of tea with their choice of breakfast. Other forms of tea, like lemon tea and green tea, are also quite popular, particularly with health-minded people. 

#2 Coconut water or sugarcane juice

Being a coastal city, it’s only natural that the people of Vizag love coconut water. It’s one of the favourite pastime drinks in Vizag. On all beaches of the city, you can find at least one vendor selling coconut water. 

During summers, sugarcane juice is one of the popular roadside drinks in the city. It not only rejuvenates you from the heat but also leaves you with a sweet flavour in your mouth. 

#3 Other fruit juices

Particularly in the summer season, other fruit juices are just as much in demand in the city. From banana juice to orange juice, there’s no clear winner here. Each person has their own preference. But these juices are ideal for replenishing yourselves on a hot, sunny day while meeting your daily nutritional needs.

#4 Thickshakes and milkshakes

Much like other major cities in India, Visakhapatnam also joined in on the thickshake frenzy. Most cafes in the city now also have a wide range of thickshakes to choose from. The Thickshake Factory and Keventers are some of the popular thickshake outlets in Vizag. 

Although not as popular as thickshakes, milkshakes are also consumed by many people in the city. 

#5 Soda

For those who seek a bit of energy boost during a mundane day, there are plenty of soda stalls in the city where they can get it. From a simple lemon soda to ice golas, these soda drinks are particularly popular among the children of Vizag. Soda Hut on Beach Road is one such place where you can get these drinks.
