Loco Espress Coffee House and Boutique
Home of the Coffee Flights & Tea Flights!
June 10, 2023
Loco Espress Coffee House is so excited to offer you the experience of a lifetime never before available in the coffee world! Since January 2021, we have been working on and perfecting the Cold Brew flights.
Originally we were inspired by the beer flights offered at a local brewery and proceeded with the Cold Brew flights you see in our pictures. Then we added Red Bull Zinger, Lemonade and Italian soda flights.
Soon to follow the cold flights we put hot tea flights with 6 different types of teas on the menu! After seeing how much people enjoyed the experience, we decided, why not make hot and iced latte flights?”
What is a Latte Flight?
Latte Flights are beautifully arranged and prepared samples of different flavored espresso lattes (single shots of espresso with milk and flavors) on an originally hand crafted wooden rack. There are 6 different lattes in one flight. Each cup contains 5 ounces of heaven. Whether you choose hot or iced they are crafted individually and topped with decadent whipped cream or other toppings such as toffee crunch, cinnamon, candy canes, and many other toppings that suit the theme of the season.
We decided to offer the aesthetically pleasing and delicious latte flights in early 2023. What a hit! Travelers from other states began to flood in to try the Latte flight experience! Before long other coffee shops caught on and started offering their versions but they just aren’t the same.
Types of Flights
Loco Espress offers many different types of flights:
Hot and iced latte flights (available in decaf as well), hot tea flights served with cream and sugar on the side (with 42 different teas to choose from), hot steamer flights, cold brew, Zinger Red Bull flights, lemonade, and Italian soda flights.
Why should you order a Latte Flight?
- When you want to taste multiple flavors of lattes but you just don’t have that much room in your stomach for 72 or more ounces of coffee! You can taste all 6 and decide which is your favorite to take on the road.
- When you want to either share a flight with a friend or indulge in the entire flight yourself.
How to enjoy a Loco Espress Flight
You can enjoy 1 of the 6 flavors at a time or you can sip slowly on each of them, engaging in all 6 and comparing each one with the others.
Make a date, take a road trip and swing on in. Enjoy a Latte Flight from the original coffee house to offer them. So much to choose from! See you soon!
