Love at first sip

I have to admit—I’m in love. In fact, it was true love at first sip.

From the moment you step into Latte e Miele, your taste buds perk up in anticipation of meeting something special. It’s one of the few spots in Baton Rouge to offer a variety of housemade sodas, and on my visit, the strawberry tarragon soda ($3) made this bright café worth a stop.

Crafted with carbonated water and a tasty homemade simple syrup made from the perfect blend of fresh strawberries and tarragon, this crisp, refreshing soda is served over ice with a friendly smile. With its slight sweetness and simplicity, the beverage can easily quench your thirst and transport you to a lazy summer afternoon, even while we put summer behind us.

The bonus? Experiment and customize your drink by requesting a combination of the delicious house-made syrups, which rotate weekly and have recently included lemon-thyme, hibiscus-grapefruit, blackberry-mint, raspberry and others. Following your first cool sip of this delightful drink, you will likely add it to your favorites list. latteemielebr.com
