ESPRESSO
The mighty shot that started it all! This tiny but powerful drink packs a serious punch. It's just hot water pushed through finely-ground coffee beans, but don’t let its size fool you—espresso is bold, rich, and topped with a lovely golden crema. Perfect for those who like their coffee with no frills, just flavor!
DOPPIO
Are you feeling extra? A doppio is just a double shot of espresso, meaning double the strength, double the flavor! It's a "go big or go home" kind of drink for those moments when a single shot just doesn't cut it.
COLD BREW
Smooth, bold, and refreshing! Cold brew coffee is steeped in cool water for hours, bringing out a naturally sweet flavor with less acidity than traditional iced coffee. Perfect for hot days or when you want a mellow coffee experience.
AMERICANO
An espresso with hot water added to mellow it out a bit. It's like espresso but smoother and more laid-back, with enough strength to wake you up without making your head spin. Great if you want a hint of espresso's boldness with a bit more "sippable” ease.
FLAT WHITE
Think of it as a latte’s cool cousin from Down Under. The flat white has a high espresso-to-milk ratio, making it bolder but oh-so-smooth, thanks to the fine, velvety microfoam on top. It's the drink for when you want something solid yet sophisticated.
IRISH COFFEE
A little coffee, a little Irish whiskey, a spoonful of sugar, and a dollop of cream on top—what’s not to love? Irish coffee is warm, sweet, and just boozy enough to be the perfect after-dinner treat or weekend indulgence.
CAPPUCINO
Equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and frothy foam, a cappuccino is a true coffee classic! Its rich espresso kick is balanced by the light, airy milk foam on top. It's just the right amount of coffee and creaminess, perfect for lingering over a cozy cup.
LATTE
Creamy, dreamy, and endlessly customizable! A latte blends espresso with steamed milk and a light layer of foam on top. It’s the perfect balance of bold and smooth, whether you like it plain or with a splash of flavor.
MOCHA
A chocolate lover’s dream in a cup! A mocha combines rich espresso, steamed milk, and a decadent swirl of chocolate syrup, all topped with whipped cream for an extra treat. It’s coffee and dessert in one sip.
MACCHIATO
A bold espresso with just a touch of foam or milk to soften its edge. The macchiato is a no-nonsense drink with a touch of elegance, ideal for when you want the flavor of espresso to shine through.
