The Story:

A close cousin to the Vanilla Latte, the Caramel Latte leverages the deep, buttery sweetness of caramel to create a truly decadent drink. It’s a dessert-like treat that satisfies a sweet tooth while still delivering a caffeine kick. It differs from a Caramel Macchiato in that the syrup is mixed in, creating a uniform flavor rather than distinct layers.
