A chocolate-forward Chagaccino for the café menu: espresso, organic cacao and Chaga, finished with creamy milk, maple and a touch of cinnamon. Designed as a measured starting build for baristas.
A Signature Sip Worth Slowing Down For
Give guests something familiar enough to crave and distinctive enough to remember: roasted espresso, dark cacao, creamy milk, and a whisper of cinnamon. Chaga adds an earthy note to a drink that feels like a thoughtful evolution of the mocha.
Why We Love It on a Café Menu
Lead with flavor. Chocolate + coffee make an inviting introduction; the mushroom ingredient gives guests a new story to explore.
Build their version. Offer it iced for a refreshing, creamy finish or hot for a softer, comforting cup. Milk choice and measured maple let your team tailor sweetness and texture.
Keep the ritual consistent. Weighed powders and measured pours help baristas repeat the same build, cup after cup.
What Guests Can Expect
A chocolate-forward latte with roasted coffee depth, a gentle cinnamon finish, and the familiar alertness associated with coffee’s caffeine. Describe the flavor first; the caffeine level depends on your espresso and serving size.
