The latte draws on the Italian caffè e latte, meaning coffee with milk. In the 20th century, the drink began gaining popularity in America, particularly during the coffeehouse boom of the 1990s. The rise of specialty coffee shops contributed to the latte's fame, as baristas began experimenting with flavors and presentation, leading to the art of latte-making that we cherish today.

Whether you prefer a classic vanilla latte or a more adventurous lavender-infused version, there’s something for every palate.

From latte art contests to tasting events, coffee lovers can engage in a community experience that brings people together.
