Great Coffee is Made for Great Stories
A latte isn’t just a drink—it’s an experience. It’s the warmth in your hands on a chilly morning, the comforting ritual of a perfectly steamed milk swirl, and the smooth, velvety texture that makes every sip feel like a small indulgence. But have you ever stopped to think about the story behind the latte?
A Drink with Italian Roots
The word “latte” comes from the Italian phrase caffè latte, meaning "coffee with milk." But in Italy, if you simply ask for a latte, you might be surprised to get a glass of milk instead of the creamy espresso-based drink we know and love. The modern latte, as we enjoy it today, became popular in the United States in the 1980s, when coffee culture exploded, and baristas began elevating coffee into an art form.
At Bon Bon’s Coffee, we believe a great latte is more than just espresso and steamed milk—it’s a perfect balance of bold, rich coffee, silky-smooth texture, and just the right touch of sweetness. Whether you prefer it hot and comforting or iced and refreshing, every latte tells a story of craftsmanship, quality, and the simple joys of a great cup of coffee.
More Than Just Coffee—It’s a Moment
A latte is often the go-to choice for those who love their coffee smooth and balanced, offering a gentle start to the morning or a midday moment of relaxation. But what makes it so special? The answer is in the details.
- Perfectly Pulled Espresso: The heart of a latte starts with a rich, balanced shot of espresso. At Bon Bon’s Coffee, we roast our beans in-house to bring out the deep chocolatey, nutty notes that make our espresso the perfect base.
- Silky Steamed Milk: The magic of a latte lies in the way the milk is steamed—creating tiny microfoam bubbles that blend seamlessly with espresso for that creamy, luxurious texture.
- Latte Art? Of Course! If you’ve ever received a latte topped with a delicate heart, a rosetta, or even a playful swirl, you know that latte art is more than just decoration—it’s a signature of a skilled barista who takes pride in every cup.
Your Latte, Your Way
There’s no wrong way to enjoy a latte. Whether you love classic espresso and milk, prefer it with a flavored twist like vanilla, caramel, or hazelnut, or opt for non-dairy options like oat or almond milk, a latte is versatile, comforting, and always satisfying.
So the next time you order a latte at one of our four Bon Bon’s Coffee locations, take a moment to appreciate the rich history, careful craft, and the simple pleasure of a well-made coffee. Because great coffee isn’t just made—it’s experienced.
