Our SPECIALTIES

Our most popular drink sold is the Latte (Caffe` Latte).  This is a mixture of Espresso, with steamed milk and a small layer of foam on top.  Generally, if flavoring/syrups are added they are combined first with the espresso, then mixed with steamed milk and topped off with the thin layer of foam.  The espresso, syrup and steamed milk are mixed, not layered.  Think of the foam like adding ‘whip topping’ but with the steamed milk foam instead.  This can be made Iced or Blended and will not have ‘foam’ unless Hot.

Coffee Options

What are some of the ‘alternatives’ to the Standard Latte that we offer?

Cappuccino – this has the same ingredients as the Latte, but the ratio of Steamed Milk to Foam is different.  Additionally, the drink is built in ‘layers’ instead of mixed together.  First the Espresso, then a layer of steamed milk and lastly the layer of foam, without mixing the espresso and steamed milk. The same amount of milk is used as in a Latte, the steaming process is changed to produce more foam so that there is ½ steamed milk and ½ foam on top of the espresso.  A wet cappuccino has more steamed milk and less foam(still more foam than a latte), while a dry cappuccino has less steamed milk and more foam.  An iced cappuccino can be made but ‘frothing’ the milk in the blender and again ‘layering’ on top of the espresso prior to adding the ice.

 

Cortado is a beverage consisting of espresso mixed with a roughly equal amount of warm milk to reduce the acidity. The milk in a cortado is steamed, but not frothy the same as a Flat White, with less foam, allowing for a denser milk. With roughly a 1:2 ratio of espresso to milk in the Cortado, the milk reduces the acidity and presents a sweeter taste.  This is general served in a larger espresso cup

 

A Traditional macchiato is an espresso shot topped with a small splash of steamed milk and a foamy top, and is served in a demitasse glass/espresso cup.  Macchiato means "stained" or "marked" and indicates espresso "marked" with a splash of milk. It’s around four total ounces with (almost) equal parts espresso to steamed milk.

 

Latte Macchiato (aka Starbucks Carmel Macchiato) – This is basically an ‘upside down’ latte.  The steamed milk goes into the cup first and the Espresso is added at the end.  The amount of milk to foam is the same as a standard cafe’ Latte.  Because of its inverse order, a latte macchiato will taste different than a cafè` latte.  Instead of you tasting the milk integrated with the coffee, you'll get the coffee upfront with the foam on top, then you'll get the milk in the bottom part of the drink.

 

Café au Lait is similar to a Latte, the main difference being use of ‘drip’ (aka House Blend) instead of Espresso and the ratio of steamed milk to coffee is 1:1 instead so it’s a half coffee/half steamed/cold milk drink.

 

Café Breve is a Latte using Steamed Half n Half instead of the standard 2% milk that is in a latte. This could also be ordered as a Latte with a Half n Half milk choice.

 

Flat White is a latte with no foam.  Where a standard latte is finished off with a small layer of ‘foam’ on top of the steamed milk, the Flat White has no foam and is only the steamed milk.  The total ratio of milk to espresso remains the same.

 

Philosopher’s Friend – This is a House Blend coffee or Cold Brew coffee with an added 2oz ‘shot’ of Espresso.  For that philosopher that needs a little extra ‘shot’ to get them going.

 

Americano – Though similar this is not the same as what we sell as our House Blend.An Americano starts with Espresso like all the other drinks above, but then is ‘watered’ down with hot (or cold for iced) water to get to the correct number of ounces for the size.Since this is diluted the amount of Espresso is an Americano is more than any of the other drinks making the ratio of espresso to water 1:4 (ex; 12 oz = 3 oz Espresso, 9 oz water)

Other drinks

We don’t only do coffee, we also have Tea. We have Southern Sweet Tea as well as various flavored/herbal teas served hot or iced as well as several Tea Latte options with steamed milk and syrups.

Lemonade is available that you can personalize with various syrup flavors or have it ‘blended’ which is yummy on a hot Kansas day.

Smoothies are available in multiple flavors as well as ciders, Italian cream sodas and canned juice options or just a glass of milk to go with a pastry.

What’s up with the mugs??

Making Sweet Tee’s feel like your favorite Aunt or Grandma’s house was always the goal. By offering our drinks in real mugs (hot) and mason jars (cold) hopefully makes you feel right at home and ready to stay awhile.

Our mugs come from donations (customers and staff), purchases at thrift stores and just those mugs we can’t resist. We all have our favorites and are really sad when one gets chipped or broken, but there always seems to be a new favorite appear on the hooks each week. We change out seasonally so you can feel ‘in the season’ no matter what time of year it is.

We try to represent Kansas City, Olathe and all the local sports and college teams, but if you don’t see your alma mater, please feel free to bring us a mug (12oz or larger) to have your team colors represented.

If you do bring us a donation we will comp your drink or pastry for that visit so it’s a Win-Win for us all.

Supporting local artists

At our main location you will see lots of art on the walls along with the mugs. That art is all by local Kansas City artists. We know how hard it is to get established and want to help our community of talented artists with a place to show there work, with all of the sales of the art going directly to them.

We generally have a waiting list as there is only so much wall space available to feature the art. If you are an artist or know of one that is interested in showing in our space please email us with your information. Please include contact information, a description of your art as well as links to social media or photos of the artwork. If the work fits into our atmosphere we will add you to the waiting list.
