Tierra Mia Lattes & Espresso Menu
Tierra Mia lattes are hand-pulled espresso drinks built around Latino flavors — the cinnamon-rich Horchata Latte, the chili-kissed Mocha Mexicano and the dessert-sweet Dulce de Leche Latte lead a 22-drink espresso bar that starts at just $2.95.
Signature lattes
Espresso first, with a Latino soul
Every drink in this part of the Tierra Mia coffee menu begins the same way: a fresh shot of espresso pulled to order. What happens next is where Tierra Mia lattes part ways with a typical café — instead of defaulting to vanilla and caramel, the bar leans into flavors drawn from Mexican and Cuban coffee culture.
The Horchata Latte folds cinnamon-sweet rice-milk horchata into steamed milk and espresso. The Mocha Mexicano swaps plain cocoa for chocolate carrying a gentle chili warmth. The Cafecito Cubano pulls a short, sugar-kissed Cuban-style shot that drinks bolder than anything on a mainstream board.
Prices run from a $2.95 straight espresso up to roughly $4.95 for the most elaborate specialty lattes, with sizes and exact pricing varying a little by café.
Three signature Tierra Mia lattes
Horchata Latte
The flagship. Traditional horchata — rice, cinnamon and vanilla — stirred into espresso and milk for a latte that tastes like a spiced-cinnamon dessert but still pulls a full caffeine load.
Mocha Mexicano
Mexican-style chocolate with a quiet chili-spice warmth on the finish. Richer and more complex than a standard mocha — sweet up front, gently spicy after.
Dulce de Leche Latte
Caramelized milk melted into espresso. Buttery, deeply sweet and unmistakably Latin — the latte to order when you want coffee that doubles as dessert.
Classic lattes vs. specialty lattes
The Tierra Mia coffee menu splits cleanly into two camps. Knowing which is which makes ordering faster.
The espresso fundamentals
Espresso, Americano, the plain Latte, Cappuccino Italiano and Espresso Macchiato. These are coffee-forward, lightly sweet at most, and the cheapest drinks on the board — the $2.95–$4.25 range. Order here when you want the espresso itself to lead.
The flavored signature lattes
Horchata, Mocha Mexicano, Dulce de Leche, Coco Loco, Pistachio, Lavender and the white-chocolate builds. These layer syrups and house flavors over espresso and sit a little higher, around $4.25–$4.95. Order here when you want the flavor to carry the cup.
A quick Tierra Mia espresso glossary
Cappuccino, macchiato, cortado-style cafecito — the names blur together. Here is what each actually means at the Tierra Mia espresso bar.
Latte
One or two espresso shots topped with a generous pour of steamed milk and a thin foam cap — the mildest, milkiest option.
Cappuccino Italiano
Roughly equal parts espresso, steamed milk and airy foam. Stronger coffee flavor than a latte and a lighter, drier texture.
Espresso Macchiato
A straight espresso shot “marked” with just a dab of foam. Tiny, intense and barely diluted — espresso with a soft edge.
Cafecito Cubano
A short, bold Cuban-style shot pulled with a touch of sugar. Order it Con Leche for milk, or NO Milk for the pure, syrupy original.
Hot lattes vs. iced lattes
Most Tierra Mia lattes can be poured either way. The choice changes the drink more than people expect.
Ordered hot
Steamed milk rounds out the espresso and lifts the aromatics — cinnamon in the Horchata Latte and spice in the Mocha Mexicano read warmer and fuller. Hot is the better call for the cafecito drinks, where heat carries the boldness.
Ordered iced
Cold milk mutes sweetness slightly and makes the espresso taste crisper and more refreshing. The Cafecito Cubano Iced is a menu item in its own right, and the syrup-led specialty lattes hold their flavor well over ice on a warm Southern California afternoon.
Milk and customization options
A few small swaps reshape any Tierra Mia latte. These are the requests baristas hear most.
Switch to oat milk
Oat milk makes any latte dairy-free and adds a natural, gentle sweetness that suits the Horchata and Dulce de Leche builds especially well.
Add an extra shot
A third espresso shot boosts caffeine and coffee depth without making a flavored latte taste bitter.
Ask for fewer pumps
Request half the syrup on a specialty latte to let the espresso and the house flavor — cinnamon, chili, caramel — come through.
Go sugar-free
The Sugar-Free Vanilla Latte is built in, and most flavored lattes can be ordered lighter on sweetener on request.
Ask for decaf espresso
Most lattes can be pulled with decaf shots when you want the flavor and ritual without the caffeine.
Adjust the temperature
Request extra-hot or a touch cooler so the steamed milk lands exactly where you like it.

Estimated calorie counts beside each drink’s price. Useful for comparison — not official figures.
| Latte / espresso drink | Calories (est.) | Sugar (g) | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Americano | 10–25 | 0–1 | $3.75–$4.00 |
| Latte | 150–220 | 12–18 | $3.95–$4.25 |
| Cappuccino Italiano | 120–180 | 10–14 | $3.95–$4.25 |
| Horchata Latte | 250–320 | 25–35 | $4.25–$4.95 |
| Mocha Mexicano | 300–360 | 35–40 | $4.50–$4.95 |
| Dulce de Leche Latte | 320–380 | 35–42 | $4.50–$4.95 |
The pattern is clear: the classic Americano and Cappuccino sit lightest, while the flavored signature lattes climb with their added syrups and house flavors. Choosing oat milk or fewer pumps trims the higher numbers noticeably.
