Coffee in Summer— 06/18/2026

on the cover

In this week’s cover story, John Fladd looks at that popular summer — and year-round — way to caffienate, iced coffee. As with all tasty things, there is an art to making a good cup of iced coffee and to picking just the right flavors to add in, if you so desire. John explains it all in the story that starts on page 8.

Also on the cover, St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Manchester presents its annual celebration of food and culture this weekend with its Lamb BBQ & Food Festival on Saturday, June 20, and Sunday, June 21. John serves up the details on page 16. And start planning your baking (or buying) for next weekend’s Cake Fest in Deerfield (see page 16). Michael Witthaus talks to John Shields of Little Stranger ahead of their show on Friday, June 19, at the Northfields Music & Art Festival this weekend (see page 23).
