Flavored Syrups

The first use of flavored syrup can be traced back to the North Beach neighborhood of San Francisco in 1925. Some of the 20th century's most acclaimed artists, from Jack Kerouac to William Burroughs, have called North Beach home.

It was in the early 80's that the flavor movement started to gain mass appeal with the introduction of the flavored latte. While sitting in San Francisco's landmark Caffe Trieste, "Brandy" Brandenburger- a coffee industry veteran- was inspired to experiment with Torani Italian syrups, espresso and steamed milk. And thus, the first flavored caffe latte was created, changing the course of espresso history forever.
