How it's used
Ordering drinks in a cha chaan teng often involves shortening names, and this is the standard way to ask for an iced coffee. It is almost always served in a tall glass with ice cubes, and if you want it without ice, you must specify 走冰.

Common phrases
iced coffee with no ice
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 凍奶啡, which specifically refers to iced coffee with milk. If you just say 凍啡, the waiter might ask if you want milk or lemon, as iced coffee can be served black, with milk, or with a slice of lemon.
