Leelanau Coffee Roasting Co.'s Miel Latte

Bottoms Up
By Anna Faller | Feb. 17, 2024

Opened in 1993, Leelanau Coffee Roasting Co. has mastered the art of the home-grown cuppa, and their signature Miel latte is a must. It starts with a double shot of the roastery’s own Leelanau Espresso blend (that’s their inky Italian roast, amped up with Indonesian beans), topped off with a layer of frothy steamed milk. Then—and this is our favorite part—baristas layer in a golden spoonful of Sleeping Bear Farms’ Star Thistle Honey spiked with organic cinnamon. Rich and smoky with a hint of sweetness, this staff pick sips like sunshine on a dreary day. Psst: For an extra sugar buzz, pair one with a homemade apple cinnamon scone! Enjoy a Miel hot or iced ($4.40/M) at Leelanau Coffee Roasting Co.’s café in Glen Arbor (6433 W. Western Ave) or visit leelanaucoffee.com
