Waking Life Espresso Menu
Espresso _____________________________________________________________________
Finely ground coffee brewed under pressure resulting in a syrupy ounce with a round mouthfeel. Crowned by a halo of golden crema. One shot of espresso is equal in caffeine content to four ounces of drip coffee.
1 oz $0.75 / 2 oz $1.50
Macchiato ___________________________________________________________________
The Italian term for "marked" - espresso capped with a pour of expertly prepared milk froth. Enough milk to soften even the most intense espresso. Our macchiato is similar to a piccolo latte.
3 oz $2.00
Cappuccino __________________________________________________________________
By World Barista Championship definition, "a cappuccino is a beverage of ratios, producing a harmonious balance of one single shot of espresso, steamed milk and frothed milk." Creamy, velvety, simple.
6 oz $2.50
Latte _______________________________________________________________________
Textured milk lovingly folded into two robust shots of espresso. A classic marriage of quantity and quality. The less-frothy big brother of the cappuccino. Also available iced.
12 oz $3.25
Americano ___________________________________________________________________
Originally a derisive term for watered-down espresso coined by Italian baristas during the Second World War, this is now a standard espresso beverage. Near-boiling water topped by espresso to produce a beverage with the body of drip coffee.
6 oz $1.00 / 12 oz $2.00
Brewed Coffee ________________________________________________________________
Our brewed coffee can be prepared by Chemex, pourover, Clever dripper, french press, and Fetco Extractor airpot, with the latter only being available 7am-11am. Check our coffee list for current varietals.

Iced Menu
Raw Latte____________________________________________________________________
Vanilla bean infused raw sugar, organic milk, and espresso. Seductively sweet with an incredibly rich and nuanced texture. Available on the rocks or blended.
16 oz $4.00
Iced Coffee __________________________________________________________________
Cold-brewed toddy coffee on the rocks. Smooth and even, like a great unsweetened tea.
16 oz $2.25
Ethiopian Car Bomb___________________________________________________________
Our iced cold-brew coffee on the rocks with a double shot of espresso. Definitely on the “caffeine delivery mechanism” side of the coffee spectrum, but tasty nonetheless.
16 oz $3.25
Blended Mocha_______________________________________________________________
Espresso, Dominican semi-sweet organic chocolate, cold milk and ice combine to form our balanced variation on this classic favorite. Just sweet enough to do the trick without inducing a diabetic coma.
16 oz $4.00
