THE FOG
by Marie de Courcy
So long London, we’ve got our own fog. This tea latte is made with earl grey tea, vanilla powder, and espresso. Garnished with a spritz of black tea and orange blossom. A drink for Karl.
COZYTOWN
by MJ Smith
A milk and espresso drink made with NY McIntosh apples, medjool dates, maple syrup, and rosemary. Meant to help us through these last few months of winter, evoking log cabins, fireside shag carpets, and winter woodlands. Garnished with candied pecans and pomegranate molasses.
YULETIDE GAY
by Asha Wells
A mulled coffee bursting at the seams with holiday cheer. Our light roast coffee served with a holiday syrup featuring non-alcoholic wine simmered with orange and eastern European gluhwien spices like star anise, juniper, bay leaf, clove, and cinnamon. Garnished with a slice of orange and a star anise pod.
THE CLASSIC
House-made vanilla latte with brown sugar and vanilla bean powder from Oaktown Spice.
