Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
What's the difference between a cappuccino and a latte? Is a macchiato really supposed to be filled with caramel and sugary syrup? What the hell is a cortado, anyway?
It's easy to feel overwhelmed when you walk into a coffee shop, and sometimes the three-lattes-deep barista seems a little busy for a drip-by-drip breakdown of their drink offerings. Let's face it: Good coffee isn't cheap (nor should it be), so the last thing you want to leave with is order remorse.
We visited the friendly folks at Cultivar Coffee and asked them to give us a breakdown of what exactly is in the four core espresso drinks, and to show us how they're made. Cultivar recently moved across Peavy Road to set up shop in Goodfriend Package, the new sandwich spot and bottle shop, which means this East Dallas coffee spot is now open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. That's plenty of time for you to find the caffeinated beverage that's right for you.

Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
