The best thing about starting a new cafe is having to think of catchy names for the barista's creations. "The Caffe" in Wine Depot Greenhills is all about the comforting, classic coffee but also about novelty, more modern concoctions. And in the middle of my search for the perfect names, i found out that you will never actually come across terms like 'Frappuccino' or 'Mocha' in Italy.
So, because javanilla was already taken and Caffé Nocciola (meaning hazelnut) was a bit intimidating for our taste, we sort of stuck with something simple and let the our experience of it lead the way. Here are a few of the coffees we happily slurped and sipped one caffeine-infused afternoon...
Hazelnut Bliss
A steaming shot of espresso, steamed milk, hazelnut syrup, cinnamon syrup and foam... Simple and heavenly.
Tuscan Kiss
A single shot of espresso, caramel syrup, steamed milk and foam. If the french have a name for it, why not a 'Tuscan Kiss' inspired by its frothy top followed by the warm, sweet coffee felt like like a big Italian smooch.

Almond Jolt
A chilly drink that feels like a good sort of brain freeze. Single shot of espresso, cold milk, caramel syrup and almond syrup.
White Rush
Shaken with lots of ice, this is a single shot of espresso, cold milk, caramel syrup, vanilla syrup and topped with vanilla ice cream.
