Gingerbread Latte: Why January Is Its Peak Season
Some flavors are meant to linger a little longer.
Most people think gingerbread is only for December—but January is when it truly shines. After the holiday rush fades, this warm, spiced latte becomes the perfect companion for slower mornings, crisp air, and cozy routines.
At Mpanadas on Arlington, our Gingerbread Latte is crafted to comfort: rich espresso blended with cozy spices that feel indulgent without being overwhelming. It’s familiar, nostalgic, and exactly what winter calls for.
☕ Why Gingerbread Belongs in January
January is about balance—easing back into routine while still enjoying a little warmth and sweetness. Gingerbread delivers just that: comforting spices without the heaviness of holiday desserts.
🍪 Flavor Notes & Perfect Pairings
Expect notes of ginger, cinnamon, and warm spice, balanced with smooth espresso and creamy milk. It pairs beautifully with:
