What Does the Blonde Vanilla Latte Taste Like?
This latte is smooth, light and gently sweet. Blonde espresso is roasted for less time than the standard roast, so it tastes brighter, mellower and less bitter, which lets the vanilla come through cleanly. It is an easy choice if you usually find espresso drinks too strong or too roasty.
What Is in the Blonde Vanilla Latte?
Blonde espresso shots are combined with vanilla syrup and steamed milk and finished with a thin layer of foam. A hot Grande typically has four pumps of vanilla, so reducing the pumps is the simplest way to lower the sweetness.

- Ask for two pumps of vanilla instead of the standard amount for a less sweet drink.
- Use sugar-free vanilla syrup to keep the flavor with fewer calories.
- Swap to almond or oat milk for a lighter or creamier texture.
- Add an extra blonde shot if you want it stronger without losing smoothness.
