Winter Warmer: How to Make Our Famous Banana Bread Latte at Home

Cosy up - we’ve found your new favourite winter bevvy.

Smooth, spiced, and just sweet enough — our Banana Bread Latte takes its cue from the classic café combo: a warm slice of banana bread and a damn fine brew. It’s the ultimate comfort drink for crisp mornings, cosy afternoons or whenever you need a little pick-me-up.

Made with a golden caramelised banana syrup (shoutout to our epic barista Becky for the inspo), rich espresso and a sprinkle of cinnamon - this winter warmer is tried and tested by the Will & Co crew, ready for you to recreate at home or enjoy at our HQ Tasting Bar in Bondi.
