Latte with Honey and Vanilla

With this variation on the traditional vanilla latte, honey takes center stage! There’s no need for a nice coffee shop. Try my Starbucks knockoff white chocolate mocha next time.

Inspired by a quaint Massachusetts coffee shop

If you’re not searching for it, you’ll probably miss it. I have a favorite coffee shop in Concord, Massachusetts called Haute Coffee. It’s a little side street.

But I can assure you that you do not want to miss it. It’s in a little, modest brick structure that’s just as lovely on the inside.

It features a nice bay window with cushioned chairs and cushions, a wonderfully designed and spotless blackboard menu (I actually inquired about it and they informed me they paid someone to do it for them), and freshly baked items on the counter. They also have a board that displays the local suppliers from whom the day’s supplies were sourced!

Do you like it when local groups help each other? Haute Coffee is warm and inviting, and it’s difficult to leave.

I’ve tried a variety of drinks at Haute Coffee, but my favorite is the Haute Latte. Their signature drink is a honey vanilla latte brewed with local honey and just the proper amount of spice from ground cinnamon, and it’s delicious.

It’s light and sweet, but not too so. The scent alone is soothing, and the flavor is wonderful. As seen by these cupcakes, I like the taste combination of vanilla and honey.

I have desires for it while they’re closed, and because it’s so far away from where I live now, I should surely make it my own!
