Best Foo-Foo Coffee Drink
The Reader’s Choice: Vella Cafe
Co-owner Melissa Yen came up with Vella’s cardamom latte, a modern twist on Turkish coffee: Intelligentsia Black Cat espresso and steamed milk flavored with cardamom, rosewater, and cinnamon. It’s on the menu year-round, but I crave it most in the dead of winter—it’s like a vacation in a mug.
