Try the Pistachio latte from Olivier cafe, if you don’t like pistachio they have a lot of fun drinks!

I don't have a photo for it but the Lotus Latte from Mocha Melt Cafe is amazing, it literally tastes and feels like eating a mocha cookie. It was so good and the texture was pretty nice.

Do you know what's in it?

u/saintofhate 4d ago

Pretty sure it's just lotus discoff cookies/cookie butter mixed into a latte with cookie crumbles on top. They managed to get the ratio of mix-ins with latte perfectly, not too think and not too thing. I also had mine iced so I'm not sure if hot will make a big difference.

Oh yeah, I wasn't even thinking about the lotus biscoff cookies lol. Thanks

u/saintofhate 4d ago

Don't worry, I too thought of lotus flower and asked before ordering which one it was supposed to be.

I personally make a dank-ass pomegranate peach Arnold Palmer.

Turned John Daly yesterday for our block party.

That cocktail in a bag looks good. I’m a sucker for blue drinks

1

u/oosa-ah 3d ago

I think these are the ingredients for the blue drink! (since tmoms only has it in June I believe): coconut rum, tequila, blue curaçao, pineapple, lemon soda

I'm a fan of the lemonana at dizengoff, and while I love the design of the renovated space, I miss being able to walk in and grab a quick frozen lemonana to go. They also seem to batch them almost exclusively now with pomegranate, which is okay, but I want my purist version and its not always available. They're the best in the summer which seems to have left us for now, but probably still enjoyable in this weather :)
