REALLY GOOD
1st BEETROOT LATTE
222, UK
So I was really expecting to dislike this. I don’t like beetroot. (So why order it? I was curious and like trying new things!) Colour me surprised, it was actually lovely! For the uninitiated, there is no coffee in this kind of latte; the best way I can describe the flavour of this drink is almost like a mildly sweet hot chocolate style drink (in that it has the frothy milky texture of a nice hot chocolate, but doesn’t actually taste of chocolate). (Edit: on a subsequent visit I discovered this is actually a “Beetroot cacao latte” - so it probably actually did taste a bit of chocolate!) Mine was made with almond milk, as recommended by the barista as they were out of oat milk which they usually use for this.
PRETTY GOOD
2nd HOT CROSS BUN LATTE
222, UK
Seasonal treat; I love Hot Cross Buns so had to try it. First sip was delicious - cinnamony deliciousness - but it was quite sweet and I ended up unable to finish it because it was so sweet.
JUST OK
3rd BLUE ALGAE LATTE
Feya, London
I mean, you see something that bizarre on the menu, you have to try it - right?? I dont know what I was expecting flavour-wise, but honestly it tasted like steamed milk. A babyccino. This is basically an expensive, blue, babyccino. I presume the cost is due to the magical superfood properties of the algae. I’ll let you know if I notice any superpowers.
