Drinks, explained

The café menu, decoded — including the Puerto Rican signatures you'll only find at 787.

Cortado

Equal parts espresso and steamed milk. Small, strong, balanced.

Coquito Latte

The Puerto Rican holiday classic — coconut, spices — as a latte. A 787 signature.

Bombón

Espresso layered over condensed milk. Sweet on the bottom, bold on top.

Pour Over

Hot water, poured slowly by hand over fresh grounds. Clarity in a cup.

Horchata Latte

Cinnamon-rice horchata meets espresso. Another 787 original.

Babyccino

Steamed milk foam, no coffee. For the smallest caffeinated humans.
