This drink is as rich in flavor as in caffeine, and it’s one of our personal favorites. It’s made with espresso and steamed milk, but this latte is the sweet notes of caramelized sugar and creamy vanilla.
The drink is topped off with whipped cream and caramel brûlée topping, which gives it a delightful crunch. It’s basically like drinking a creamy cup of caramel heaven.

It is often compared to other popular drinks such as the Caffe Latte or Cappuccino because of its rich flavor and creamy texture.

Americanos are the best of both worlds: a fully caffeinated beverage with the smooth, not-too-strong flavor of the coffee.
The Brown Sugar Oat Americano takes this classic drink and adds a twist to it with brown sugar oat syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. The addition of the syrup gives this drink a touch of sweetness and taste reminiscent of oatmeal cookies.
