Coffee as Comfort Food
What is Latte Cookie? Latte Cookie is a dessert-style latte where double espresso meets a frothed plant-based drink and Bacanha Cookie syrup, with notes of buttery cookies and caramel.
Over the years, coffee has taken on many forms. From an energizing drink, it became a ritual – and later, part of the comfort food world. Today, coffee can be more than a source of caffeine; it can be a dessert in itself, and Latte Cookie is a perfect example.
Bacanha Cookie syrup brings notes of buttery cookies and caramel to a classic latte. Combined with espresso, it creates an effect similar to your favorite cookie dipped in coffee – just served in a modern, liquid form.
Bacanha Syrups – Sweetness in an Elegant Bottle
Bacanha is a brand that redefines what a syrup can be. Its products combine simplicity with a touch of luxury: organic ingredients, natural extracts, and distinctive amber bottles that are a design statement in themselves.
Cookie Bacanha syrup was crafted to evoke the taste of freshly baked cookies, without artificial sweetness. The balance of sweetness and aroma gives the coffee a dessert-like character – perfect for an afternoon reset.
JAVA Coffee – A Base That Holds Its Flavor
When coffee becomes a dessert, its foundation still matters. Espresso made from JAVA Coffee Roasters beans gives Latte Cookie its structure and character. It's a coffee that adds depth without overpowering the drink – leaving room for the sweetness of the syrup and the creaminess of the plant-based drink.
We've been roasting specialty coffee since 2001 in Warsaw, always with the goal of making every espresso full of flavor and quality. Good coffee is a human right – even when it turns into dessert.

Sproud – A Creamy Alternative
For Latte Cookie, Sproud Barista works especially well – a pea-based plant drink that froths like classic milk and doesn't change the taste of the coffee. For an extra touch, top the drink with Sproud Cream and a sprinkle of Blombööm cocoa.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About Latte Cookie
What is Latte Cookie?
Latte Cookie is a dessert-style latte where double espresso meets frothed Sproud Barista and Bacanha Cookie syrup. The espresso brings coffee depth, while the syrup adds notes of buttery cookies and caramel. The result is creamy, sweet, and unmistakably dessert-like.
How do I make Latte Cookie at home?

How much Bacanha Cookie syrup should I add per serving?
A good starting point is 2 cl of Bacanha Cookie syrup per serving. This amount gives the latte a clear cookie-and-caramel character without fully covering the taste of the espresso.
Which plant-based drink works best in Latte Cookie?
Sproud Barista works best for this recipe – a pea-based drink designed for milk coffees. It froths well and creates a creamy texture, so Latte Cookie stays dessert-like while the espresso is still noticeable.
Are Sproud Cream and cocoa essential?
No. Sproud Cream and cocoa are finishing touches that enhance the dessert character of the drink, but they're not essential. The base of Latte Cookie is a double espresso, 150 ml of Sproud Barista, and 2 cl of Bacanha Cookie syrup.
Which coffee works best for Latte Cookie?
A well-balanced espresso works best – one that won't disappear under the sweetness of the syrup and the creaminess of the plant-based drink. Choose a coffee roasted for espresso and pull a double shot, so the coffee base is still clearly present in the finished drink.
Is Latte Cookie more of a coffee or a dessert?
It leans firmly toward dessert. Espresso is still its base, but the cookie-flavored syrup, creamy texture, and optional toppings make Latte Cookie feel more like a dessert in a cup than a classic latte.
