About this place
Lattest, the drink that shares its name with the café, is made by pouring espresso directly over cold milk in a shot glass. Its flavour changes as the two mingle, a detail that has won praise from people who have tried it. Starting with this drink and noticing how the espresso and milk come together is a fitting introduction to LATTEST.
The coffee selection lets you choose a flavour profile, from the dark-roasted Lattest Blend to beans from Ethiopia. The blend is described as bitter, with notes of roasted almonds and dark chocolate; the Ethiopian coffee has raspberry and apricot flavours alongside an impression of dark chocolate. One diner enjoyed the way milk mellowed the dark roast’s bitterness and aroma. Drip coffee and café lattes made with different beans also offer a chance to compare their character.
For a brighter way to enjoy coffee’s aroma, consider the espresso tonic. One person who tried it praised its clean finish and the coffee fragrance that lingers afterwards. For a coffee-free option, the chai latte with soy milk has cinnamon aroma and a mellow sweetness.
Some diners have paired matcha cheesecake with cold brew, making it an option for a break with something sweet.
