Life on the frontier meant drinking coffee straight up – gritty, unfiltered, and typically boiled over fire and served in a tin cup. Now, atop a creamy shot of espresso, we’ve figured out ways to add layers of hot milk with varying degrees of fluff. Science! We’ve come a long way, and the baristas at Alta Bakery have mastered the art of crafting your sweet coffee treats just the way you like them. As a bonus, you can sip them in the lovely historic garden out back.
