Spanish Latte
Espresso with silky condensed milk
Sm $5.50 / Lg $6.50
The Story
The Spanish latte (café con leche condensada) has roots in Spain, where espresso mixed with sweetened condensed milk has been a staple in traditional cafes for generations. The drink gained global popularity through Southeast Asian coffee culture — particularly in Singapore, Vietnam, and Malaysia — where condensed milk is a cornerstone of local coffee traditions.
What sets the Spanish latte apart is the richness and sweetness of the condensed milk, which creates a naturally caramel-like flavour without any added sugar. The thick condensed milk sits at the bottom of the cup, creating a beautiful layered effect before it's stirred into the espresso and steamed milk.
At Cappadocia, our Spanish latte layers premium condensed milk with a double shot of espresso and velvety steamed milk — offering a sweeter, creamier alternative to a standard latte that has become one of our most requested drinks.
