What is a Hazelnut Latte? Taste, Calories & Karachi Guide
While the Spanish Latte often steals the spotlight in DHA and Clifton, true coffee aficionados are turning toward the Hazelnut Latte for a more balanced, aromatic experience. It combines the bold intensity of a double espresso with the toasted, woody sweetness of premium hazelnut syrup.
At Ideas Cafe, we’ve perfected this recipe at Dolmen Mall Clifton, ensuring the nuttiness enhances the coffee beans rather than masking them.

The Palette: Creamy milk balanced by the slight bitterness of espresso and the buttery finish of hazelnut.
- The Versatility: It is equally delicious as a steaming hot morning brew or a refreshing iced afternoon pick-me-up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Hazelnut Latte sweeter than a regular Latte?
Yes, because of the added syrup. However, it is generally less "cloying" than a Caramel Latte, offering a more earthy sweetness.
Are lattes high in caffeine?
A latte is a popular choice for those who enjoy a creamy, milder coffee experience. Made with one or two shots of espresso and steamed milk, a 12-ounce latte generally contains 63 to 126 milligrams of caffeine
Does it contain actual nuts?
Most professional hazelnut syrups (like the ones we use) are flavored to provide the aroma and taste but are generally safe for those with mild nut sensitivities. However, always inform our staff at Dolmen Mall if you have a severe allergy.
