Is it even a flat white anymore? (i.redd.it)

I would say yes but honestly an iced flat white is already a stretch

Tell me want an iced blonde quad ristretto white mocha with raspberry without telling me

It wasn't a flat white the minute it was iced
uwumoment 15 points 1y ago
iced flat whites don’t even traditionally exist so no, it’s not, it’s just an iced latte

The moment I saw ‘Gr’ I knew it wasnt a flat white anymore.

America please…. Flat whites are not supposed to be sold in anything bigger than a Short 😩

Ok I feel you, but I ain't paying 4.50 for 8 oz of steamed milk and espresso.

A total crime indeed

Honest answer..

NOPE

Sadly, somewhere along the way we turned into Burger King and no one orders of the menu anymore. 🤦

Color me shocked when someone actually says the name of a drink and just stops there.

Me: what can I get you?

Cust: I'll have a grande latte

Me: *pauses.. Waiting 🤔.... Oh, is that all?

Cust: Yes, that's all.

Me: *shocked and confused.. OK, that'll be...

😂😂

This happened to me today. The customer asked for two Grande Lattes. I was looking at them waiting for the mods, they gave me an odd look and asked for the price. I felt a little embarrassed honestly.

Happens to me at least twice a week and I’m always surprised 🤣

No but it sounds good
luvduvbunny 5 points 1y ago
So what’s the point of ordering a flat white if there’s no whole milk AND ristretto shots?
philosopher_cat_lady 16 points 1y ago
There are ristretto shots. Nothing there says there aren't
luvduvbunny 5 points 1y ago
My bad! I completely forgot that you can have blonde ristretto shots!

Duuuude blonde ristretto shots are like all I get you should try it
dontgiveah00t 3 points 1y ago
I think it’s because standard is an extra shot, and they think it’ll save them $1?

No.

I don’t see the problem here? Our drinks are far from traditional espresso beverages. I get iced (oat) flat whites as break drinks regularly since I like the extra shot and ristretto without having to specify, and I assume that person likes it that way too.

My drink order is something similar to this and I get it so it’s easier to order ristretto shots and extra shots for cheaper. I feel like people in this sub are starting to see an issue in anything and everything for no reason.

I don't really understand a definitional difference one can really make between an iced flat white and this. It's no stranger than a blonde iced vanilla latte with soy milk, and I doubt we're debating whether that's a latte.
