The Mother of the World. A latte invented and named by Emily, one of the masterminds at neighborhood haunt, High Five Coffee. If you're a local and hip to the High Five jive, you know the glory of the Cubano. It's not literally a latte, but an americano with steamed cream— kind of like this. This version adds a sugar mixture that is gussied up with citrus zest and spiced with Berbere from Spicewalla. It's got kick, deep flavor, and tastes real good when sipped from the Sunday Morning Mug.
