What to Order in Coffee Chats?

Hi all,

Does it matter what you order at a coffee meeting? Whether it's an iced coffee, iced green tea or anything else, is there anything you should avoid?

I'm not a coffee drinker, and often tea is so hot you can't even drink it during the meeting, so I'd love to hear your guys' suggestions or orders.

It's funny how big this thread got. Also, when I went to the coffee chat the guy literally ordered a croissant. 😂
