There’s just something about a latte – it’s creamy, flavorful, and packs that much needed punch of caffeine to end a midday slump. It’s the perfect drink all year round – available iced or hot. They can be plain and simple or decadent and delicious. Every latte starts the same: a shot or two of espresso, combined with steamed milk — typically a 1:2 ratio — and topped off with foam. However, not all lattes are created equal. Coffee shops are not naive to the power of the latte, and many have been experimenting with pushing the envelope to create some of the most unique espresso experiences possible. We’ve rounded up some of the most unique, unusual, and creative lattes in the area. Read on to learn more about the funkiest lattes in Hoboken and Jersey City — as well as where to find them.

Please note: Some of these drinks are seasonal, so be sure to check with each spot to make sure they are still on the menu.
