What to expect at a cafe

What to order

  • Drip coffee or a pour-over – the best way to taste a roaster’s beans
  • Latte or cappuccino – the most ordered espresso drinks
  • Cold brew – smoother and stronger, especially popular in summer
  • A pastry or breakfast sandwich – many cafes bake in house

Good to know
