Featured Items

  • Iced Latte

    Most literary scholars incorrectly believe Wilfred Owen’s poem “Strange Meeting” reflects his experiences in the trenches of World War 1 but he later clarified in his memoirs that the poem was inspired by his early years in the Manchester Regiment constantly waiting in queue for an iced latte during tea time.
    $6.25
  • Cappuccino

    6 ounces of balance between coffee taste and milk texture. Take it in gulps whilst staring vacantly at the sky — questioning whether you truly did lock the front door before you left.
    $5.75
  • Iced Matcha Latte

    $7.50

Drinks

Hot Espresso Drinks

  • Espresso

    2 shots of espresso hailing from the mountains of Latin America and Africa.
    $4.25
  • Macchiato

    Macchiato means marked in Italian. Our Dolcezza Macchiato is a traditional Italian style 3oz beverage marking 2 shots of espresso with a splash of toasted milk foam.
    $5.00
  • Americano

    Rumor has it we couldn’t handle espresso some decades back and solved the problem by adding a little water. 2 shots of espresso diluted with 8oz of hot water. American exceptionalism at its finest.
    $5.00
  • Cortado

    Equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and milk foam served in a 4oz gibraltar rocks glass. Perfectly balanced, for those who never finished their zen garden way back when that was a thing.
    $5.50
  • Cappuccino

    6 ounces of balance between coffee taste and milk texture. Take it in gulps whilst staring vacantly at the sky — questioning whether you truly did lock the front door before you left.
    $5.75
  • Flat White

    Not another flat-earther theory but equally as controversial and confusing in coffee reddit circles. Basically an 8oz latte.
    $6.00
  • Latte

    2 shots of espresso with 8 oz of steamed milk. The perfect breakfast coffee and likely the first coffee drink that got every coffee-lover hooked. Consider it the high school jalopy of the coffee world. Not a lot of scoot, but you’ll smile every time you experience one and shed a tear reminiscing of a simpler time.
    $6.25
  • Large Latte

    2 shots of espresso with 14 ounces of steamed milk. This drink weighs about 1 lb. Other things that weigh about 1 lb. include a block of butter, 20 AA batteries, and a guinea pig.
    $7.50
  • Mocha Latte

    In the popular canine remake of Romeo and Juliet that played exclusively at the Belasco theatre in nineteen-aught-seven starring Booger the Pug as Romeo and Lilibeth the precocious cocker spaniel as Juliet, production had to stop momentarily when Booger the pug found himself on the wrong side of a mocha latte belonging to an intern of the director. The intern was dismissed summarily from his position for his negligence but not before the director changed the potassium cyanide from the original Romeo and Juliet text to a mocha latte due to its deleterious effect on Booger throughout production. Booger unfortunately was never the same and was last seen crossing the border into Mexico after a peyote-induced vision showed him a map to pug coo coo land.
    $7.60
  • Large Mocha Latte

    This is a 16 ounce drink. I probably should have mentioned earlier that we make this syrup in-house with Valrhona dark chocolate.
    $8.60
  • Vanilla Bean Latte

    If you can find a better vanilla latte than this, I’ll eat my shoe. Made in-house. We cook our own vanilla syrup using single origin extract from Madagascar. Then steep vanilla beans from Papau New Guinea in our syrup and age until time has extracted the wisdom of a millennia of flora, fauna, and mycelia . We know we’re done when the ancients of yore awake from their restless slumber to tell us we really need to stop listening to Lana Del Rey on repeat.
    $7.60
  • Large Vanilla Bean Latte

    Found at the home of a local boy being investigated for B&E and theft at the local gated cloud community. Ultimately he was charged as an adult and found guilty and sentenced to 20 years at the state pen but was released in 10 for good behavior. He later found a productive career in local politics by riding a swelling populist wave and passed key legislation in criminal justice reform but ultimately embroiled his country in numerous foreign wars which led to his political downfall.
    $8.60
  • Dulce De Leche Latte

    Dulce de leche is a confection created from the caramelization of milk and sugar. It’s amazingly complex and rich. You can eat it on toast like peanut butter. And we made our own for this amazing drink. It’s the most popular flavored drink we make, and it’s the best caramel latte you’ll ever have.

  • Large Iced Latte

    Franz Kafka’s seminal piece “The Metamorphosis” originally planned to have the protagonist Gregor Samsa transform unexpectedly into a large iced latte but that had to be scrapped for a huge insect when Kafka was notified by his publisher that it wouldn’t be well-recieved with the influential independent coffeehouses in the Leipzig suburbs. Later in his life, Kafka would claim this thematic alteration was his greatest shame and regret.

  • Iced Vanilla Latte

    “At that time, I often thought that if I had had to live in the trunk of a dead tree, with nothing to do but look up at the sky flowing overhead, little by little, I would have gotten used to it.” — The Stranger, Albert Camus

Matcha

    Stracciatella is the elevated gelato version of the classic chocolate chip ice cream. It differs by way of how the chocolate is added. Instead of throwing in waxy preformed pieces of chocolate as you would in the standard fare, stracciatella uses compound chocolate that is added in liquid form and hardens instantly upon contact with the gelato. The gelato is then massaged breaking the chocolate into delectable shards, nuggets, and bombs.
