Kindness & Mischief Coffee in Los Angeles, California that describes itself as a "people-driven, quality-obsessed, and community-centered shop"—it also happens to make a Butterbeer Latte that will capture the hearts of conscious consumers and Harry Potter fans alike.
As the name of the hot beverage suggests, it takes inspiration from a seasonal drink from the fictional world of Harry Potter. This real-world non-alcoholic beverage gets its flavor from butterscotch chips, heavy cream, a house-made butterscotch syrup and steamed almond milk.
An alternative to ordering a piping-hot Butterbeer Latte is to order an iced version from Kindness & Mischief Coffee. This slightly different version of the beverage is served in a frosted craft beer goblet that contains white butterscotch tea that's nitrogenated and blended with simple syrup.
