A cappuccino and an iced latte at De Mello were $14.30 on Saturday. I've basically stopped getting coffee at any independent purveyors in the last couple of years.

Shouldn't be a penny over $13.54 and then only if they have excessive sizes (and that's what you ordered)

For further clarification, a cappuccino has a proper size, and it is 5oz in a 6oz cup. Anything more is gratuitous.

Any larger and any number of developers would be marketing that as an 'aromatized pool'

Off topic but it's surprising that the Sherwin Williams paint is still there. I understand that it's a small space so it would be tough to knock down and replace with something but still, it has managed to stay there with all the big developments going on around it.

SKATING RINK WHAT?

Fun fact, traditional cappuccino served in Italy and classic Italian bars are in 150ml/5 oz cups (aka competition cappuccino); equal parts espresso shot, milk and foam. I love traditional cappuccinos but most places do not know how to make the classic version and always use far too much milk. Nowadays I just order cortados as it's as close to how I would want a drink with milk that is like a classic cappuccino where the coffee is more prominent.

As a former barista (for a very short time, not as short as @Richard White but still a very brief stint during uni) I always appreciate someone who understands how it's done properly.

I never learned nor was asked to learn 'designs' in the foam and what not, which in my experience is not traditional in Italy; but I certainly learned how to do drinks properly w/freshly ground beans for every drink, properly filtered, freshly steamed/foamed milk as may be the case, and none of this turning a cappuccino into a Latte business!
