Go into any UK coffee chain and ask for a latte and they will 9 times out of 10 say ‘larte’
Either way you get a shot of espresso and topped up with frothy milk, the only difficulty you may have is if you ask for a regular and they reply ‘do mean a grande or talle?’
Ask for a latte in South Africa, it comes in one size and is just hot frothy milk, if you wish to have a shot of espresso you have to ask for it by it’s proper name which is a ‘cafe latte’ as we all know any way.
