Iced Spanish Latte
Condensed milk sweetness over ice
$10.00
The Story
The iced Spanish latte has become one of the most Instagrammed coffee drinks of the 2020s — a visually striking layered drink of condensed milk, espresso, and cold milk over ice. Its visual beauty comes from the dense condensed milk sinking to the bottom before being stirred, creating a gradient of white, coffee brown, and golden cream.
While its name references the Spanish café con leche condensada tradition, the iced format was popularised through Southeast Asian cafe culture — particularly in Singapore and Malaysia where sweetened condensed milk coffee (kopi) is a staple. Social media amplified it to global popularity, and it now appears on menus from Sydney to Seoul.
At Cappadocia, our iced Spanish latte is assembled in layers — condensed milk, ice, a double espresso shot, then cold milk — creating a beautiful visual before the guest stirs it into a rich, naturally sweet coffee that requires no additional sugar.
