Flat White

Our Flat White is a simple, dialed in espresso drink for guests who like their coffee smooth and focused. At The Coffee Garden in the Houston Heights area, we start with strong, well balanced espresso and pour velvety steamed milk over it, creating a creamy texture that stays silky from the first sip to the last. There is less foam than a cappuccino and a higher coffee to milk ratio than a typical latte, so you get bold flavor without harsh edges.

Because the milk is steamed to a fine, glossy microfoam, it blends completely into the espresso instead of sitting on top in a thick layer. That means every sip carries the full character of the coffee with just enough creaminess to soften it. The Flat White is a great choice if you like your drinks on the stronger side but still want that smooth, cozy feel you get from a milk based espresso drink at a Heights coffee shop.

You can enjoy a Flat White at The Coffee Garden at 1920 Houston Ave in Sawyer Heights in the Houston Heights area, whether you are easing into the morning, working on your laptop, or catching up with a friend. It pairs well with pastries and breakfast items and fits right into a daily coffee routine.
