Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have Addtional Questions?
What's the difference between a latte and a cappuccino?
The main difference is the ratio of espresso to milk to foam. A cappuccino has equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and foam (creating a lighter, airier drink), while a latte has more steamed milk with just a thin layer of foam (creating a creamier, smoother drink). Both start with our signature Puerto Rican espresso.
Can I get any drink iced?
Yes! Nearly all of our classic espresso drinks can be served hot or iced. Popular iced options include iced lattes, iced Americanos, iced mochas, and our cold brew coffee. Just let your barista know your preference when ordering.
What makes your espresso different?
We use premium beans sourced from high-altitude farms in Puerto Rico, where volcanic soil and ideal growing conditions create naturally vibrant, complex flavors. Our baristas are trained in proper extraction techniques, to pull the perfect shot every time. The result is rich espresso with balanced sweetness and smooth finish, not the bitter, burnt taste you might find elsewhere.
What's a cortadito and how is it different from a latte?
A cortadito is a traditional Cuban and Puerto Rican espresso drink where espresso is “cut” with a small amount of steamed milk and natural sweetness. It’s smaller and stronger than a latte (typically 4oz vs 12oz+), with a more pronounced coffee flavor. Think of it as a sweeter, creamier version of a macchiato and is perfect if you want bold espresso with just a touch of smoothness.
Do you have dairy-free milk options?
Absolutely. We offer almond milk, coconut milk, and oat milk as alternatives to dairy. Any of our classic coffee or espresso drinks can be made with your preferred milk alternative at no extra charge.
What's a Red Eye and when should I order one?
A Red Eye is fresh-brewed coffee with a shot of espresso added for extra caffeine. It’s perfect for early mornings, long workdays, or anytime you need a serious energy boost. The combination gives you the smoothness of drip coffee with the intensity of espresso. It’s bold, strong, and guaranteed to wake you up.
Can I customize my drink with flavor shots?
Yes! We have over 30 flavor options including vanilla, caramel, hazelnut, mocha, pumpkin pie, lavender, and many more. You can add flavors to any classic coffee or espresso drink. Our baristas can recommend popular combinations if you’re not sure where to start.
What roast do you use for drip coffee?
We brew Puerto Rican coffee fresh throughout the day with our signature medium-dark roast. Our local customers rave about it and continue coming back for more. Try it for yourself today!
Do you serve authentic Cuban coffee?
Yes! We serve café cubano, which is traditional Cuban espresso sweetened with demerara sugar whipped into the first drops of espresso. This creates a sweet, thick crema on top. It’s intensely strong, naturally sweet, and authentically prepared for a true taste of Caribbean coffee culture.
What time do you stop serving coffee?
We serve coffee and espresso throughout our business hours. We’re open Monday-Thursday 7am-6pm, Friday 6am-6pm, Saturday 8am-6pm, and closed Sundays. You can also order ahead online for pickup at order.alexanderswalhalla.com.
