Bluestone Lane recently expanded its menu with the all-new Draught Oat Flat White, made with its signature Flagstaff blend cold brew and Califia Farms' gluten-free Oat Barista Blend. The first and only draught flat white made with Califia's Oat Barista Blend is described as "balanced, creamy and smooth with notes of chocolate and vanilla," and it has a naturally creamy texture thanks to the properties of the Oat Barista Blend, which froths easily.
This new beverage was created in response to consumer demand since Bluestone Lane noticed customers adding oat milk to their beverages at twice the rate of almond milk. Targeting health-conscious Gen Z and Millennial customers, this premium plant-based coffee beverage can be found at any Bluestone Lane cafe, and it's an option that's vegan, gluten-free and non-GMO.
