Meet your new summer crush: the Biscoff Latte ☀️

Sweet, nutty, and made with creamy Biscoff spread and brown sugar, this drink starts with a bold Vietnamese coffee base so it’s not too sweet—and still gives you that caffeine kick. Finished with whipped cream and a Biscoff cookie on top, it’s basically dessert in a cup and totally ready for your feed.

One size only for $6.20 at XIA Books & Café!
