By Sarah Sipple
At a boutique hotel café, you should expect a boutique coffee experience. This is it.
The S’Mores Latte is a new fea ture at the Lobby Market inside Hotel Kansas City in the heart of down town. Amid the rich lobby decor is a small but welcoming café. Crafted by expert barista Laura Clark, the bal anced and fun latte features custom flavors, is best served hot, and works well with any milk option.
As the Messenger espresso is prepared and the milk is steamed, the mug or to-go cup is smoked with cherry wood chips. This is the start of a sensory experience beyond taste alone.
Next, the espresso and house-made Smoked Vanilla Syrup are poured into the smoked vessel. Mini marshmallows are heaped on top and set ablaze. The sweet toasted fragrance lingers and catches the attention of guests walking by.
Finally, to bring in the chocolate element of a s’more comes the Cocoa Noir drizzle. Cocoa Noir is another house-made syrup containing cocoa, black cocoa, and vanilla bean paste from KC’s Sava Trading Co.
The Lobby Market features a selection of pastries made by The Town Company’s Executive Pastry Chef, Helen Jo Leach. Also available at the market are exclusive J. Rieger & Co. bottled spirits.
Lobby Market (located inside Hotel Kansas City) 1228 Baltimore Ave., Kansas City, MO 64108
