Exploring the World of Specialty Coffee at Cafe Brewtique: A Deep Dive into Flat White, Iced Coffee, Cappuccino, Americano, Spanish Latte, and Espresso
Welcome to Cafe Brewtique, where each cup of coffee is a carefully crafted experience meant to awaken the senses and warm the soul. As lovers of exceptional coffee, we believe in the power of specialty brewing—a process that honors the bean, the barista, and the moment. Today, we invite you to take a deep dive into our curated selection of specialty coffee offerings: Flat White, Iced Coffee, Cappuccino, Americano, Spanish Latte, and Espresso.


What Is Specialty Coffee?
Beans are scored by certified tasters and must reach a score of 80 or above on a 100-point scale to earn the “specialty” designation. This means that every sip is the product of meticulous farming, ethical sourcing, precision roasting, and skilled brewing.
At Cafe Brewtique, we proudly partner with small-scale farmers and roasters who share our dedication to sustainability, freshness, and flavor complexity. Every cup served is a testament to our mission: to offer world-class coffee with a boutique touch.

Flat White: The Velvety Smooth Contender
Origin and Background
The Flat White originated in Australia or New Zealand in the 1980s and quickly became a global favorite. Unlike a latte, it emphasizes a higher ratio of coffee to milk and uses microfoam to create a velvety texture without the thick foam of a cappuccino.
Brewtique’s Signature Flat White

Perfect For
• Coffee lovers who enjoy a smooth mouthfeel with intense espresso notes
• Morning meetings or slow weekend brunches
• Pairing with a flaky croissant or almond biscotti
Pro Tip
Ask for our seasonal single-origin espresso in your Flat White for a flavor journey that changes with the harvest.

Iced Coffee: Crisp, Cool, and Customizable
The Evolution of Iced Coffee
Iced Coffee is more than just chilled java
Our Iced Offerings
1. Cold Brew: Steeped in cold water for 16 hours. It yields a mellow, low-acidic, subtly sweet profile.
2. Flash Brew: Brewed hot and flash-chilled over ice to retain brightness and aromatics.
3. Iced Americano: Espresso poured over cold water and ice, with a bolder, more intense flavor.
Why It Stands Out
• Ideal for hot climates and on-the-go lifestyles
• A blank canvas for customizations (milk, syrup, spices)
• Naturally lower in acidity and bitterness
Best Paired With
• Light salads, sandwiches, or desserts
• Oat milk and vanilla for a creamy twist
• A sunny afternoon on our outdoor patio

Cappuccino: The Art of Foam and Flavor
A Timeless Classic

Some guests enjoy it with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or cinnamon.
Why Coffee Purists Love It
• Perfect balance of robust espresso and creamy milk
• Ideal for savoring slowly and appreciating coffee art
• A drink that engages all the senses
Our Recommendation
Try the cappuccino with a shot of our house-made hazelnut syrup or pair it with our artisan chocolate cake.

Americano: Bold and Beautiful Simplicity
The Story
The Americano’s origins trace back to World War II, when American soldiers in Europe diluted espresso with hot water to resemble drip coffee. Brewtique’s Version
We use freshly pulled double shots and add precise amounts of hot water to preserve the crema. This results in a drink that’s rich yet smooth, strong but sippable.
Why It Works
• Showcases the nuances of our espresso roast
• No milk needed, making it vegan and lactose-free
• A customizable caffeine dose
Ideal Moments
• A productivity boost during your workday
• Paired with a buttery pastry or bagel
• Enhanced with a citrus twist or cinnamon stick for flair

Spanish Latte: Sweet, Strong, and Luxuriously Smooth
Global Origins
The Spanish Latte (also known as “Cafe con Leche” or “Latte Dulce”) is beloved across Spain, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
Brewtique’s Signature Spanish Latte
We blend premium espresso shots, organic condensed milk, and steamed whole or plant-based milk, creating a decadent and rich experience. Available hot or iced.

Why It’s a Fan Favorite
• Balanced sweetness with robust coffee flavor
• Instagrammable layers when served iced
• A perfect dessert-like treat without being too heavy
Fun Variations

• Caramel Spanish Latte: Topped with caramel drizzle and sea salt
• Saffron Spanish Latte: A luxurious, fragrant twist
Best Enjoyed
• As a midday pick-me-up
• Alongside buttery cookies or shortbread
• With friends during evening catch-ups

Espresso: The Heartbeat of the Coffee World
What Is Espresso?
Espresso is a brewing method that forces hot water through finely ground coffee under pressure, producing a small, concentrated shot rich in flavor and aroma.
What Makes Brewtique’s Espresso Special?
• Sustainably sourced beans roasted in micro-batches
• Pulled using professional La Marzocco machines
• Calibrated daily for consistency
Flavor Profile
Our espresso has notes of dark chocolate, red berries, and toasted almonds with a golden crema that signifies freshness and skill.
How You Can Enjoy It
• Single or double shot, straight up
• In an affogato poured over vanilla gelato
Who It’s For
The espresso lover appreciates boldness, simplicity, and tradition.
