There’s no doubt about it—coffee culture is having a moment. And while your classic vanilla or caramel latte will always have a place in the lineup, sometimes you want something a little more fun, unexpected, or just plain delicious. That’s where creative latte flavors come in.

At Kirkwood Sweet Shop, we love mixing things up and crafting drinks that go beyond the usual. Whether you’re a daily latte drinker or a weekend café explorer, here are some bold, seasonal, and seriously crave-worthy latte flavors you need to try.

1. Maple Brown Sugar

This latte is basically fall in a cup, but it tastes amazing year-round. Rich maple syrup and brown sugar create a cozy, caramelized vibe that pairs perfectly with espresso and steamed milk.

Try it iced or hot, and add a dash of cinnamon on top for extra comfort.

2. Honey Lavender

Looking for something calming and a little bit floral? The honey lavender latte has your name on it. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and soothing—light enough for warmer months but cozy enough for winter too.

Pro tip: Swap in oat milk for a slightly nutty finish.

3. Toasted Marshmallow

This one tastes like sitting by a campfire. A toasted marshmallow latte brings all the nostalgic flavor of s’mores without the sticky fingers. It’s sweet, creamy, and makes a killer after-lunch pick-me-up.

Try it blended for a fun twist on your usual iced coffee.

4. White Chocolate Raspberry

This combo brings dessert vibes straight to your mug. The tartness of raspberry cuts through the sweetness of white chocolate for a latte that’s decadent but still balanced.

Great for: Valentine’s Day, weekend brunch, or when you want a treat that feels extra.

5. Spiced Vanilla Chai Latte (With Espresso)

Also known as a dirty chai, this drink adds a shot of espresso to a spiced chai latte for the ultimate caffeine boost. At Kirkwood, we level it up with a house-made vanilla syrup that makes it even smoother and more flavorful.

It’s the perfect middle ground between coffee and tea.

6. Salted Caramel Mocha

If you haven’t tried salted caramel in your coffee yet, you’re missing out. It adds just enough savory to make the sweet pop even more. Mix it with mocha, and you’ve got a latte that’s rich, bold, and totally addictive.

Top it with sea salt for a real flavor punch.

7. Pistachio Rose

Feeling a little adventurous? Pistachio rose is unexpectedly good. Nutty, slightly floral, and lightly sweet, this latte is smooth and layered without being overpowering.

It’s a standout choice for anyone who loves trying something new.

Make It Your Own

Want to get creative with your order? Here are a few tips:

• Mix and match flavors (like hazelnut + mocha, or chai + maple)
• Try different milks (almond, oat, coconut, or whole milk all change the flavor)
• Add espresso to your favorite tea lattes for a bigger caffeine kick
• Ask about seasonal flavors or off-menu options—we’ve usually got something fun brewing
