Hot Espresso Drinks  

Espresso
2 shots of espresso hailing from the mountains of Brazil.
$4.90
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.
$5.90
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.
$5.90
Large Americano
The Dolcezza crew was stuck. We were working for 3 months trying to improve the humble Americano — to reimagine this classic drink and irrevocably reshape the speciality coffee industry forever. Our morale was in tatters — fresh out of ideas, no good answers, no good choices — consigning ourselves to despair and years of financial insolvency. But from our darkest moments, a hero emerged. Dylan, our Manager of Retail Operations, procured a 16oz cup and proceeded to pour 2 shots of espresso into
$5.90
Cortado
Equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and milk foam served in a 4oz gibraltar rocks glass makes this a drink even a homicidal eco-terrorist with a gauntlet of cosmic bling could enjoy.

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.
$6.90
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.
$6.90
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.

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 R
$8.90
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.
$9.90
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.
$8.90
Large Dulce De Leche Latte
$9.90
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.

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.

Matcha  

Matcha Cortado
The Matcha Cortado is a great balance between acceptability and punchiness. There’s less milk to dilute the flavor which means more umami. The cooler temperature of the steamed milk also promotes better mouthfeel. Take this in a few big gulps to overwhelm your palate with the vegetal smoothness.

Matcha Latte
The Matcha Latte is the best way to experience matcha for the uninitiated. The milk helps mute some of the bitter umami flavors of the matcha valuing approachability over funk.

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.
