7 Brew Cloud 9 Matcha Latte

Order it hot with whole milk on your first visit - that is the format where the lavender, vanilla, and matcha all show up most clearly. The heat releases the aromatic oils in the lavender syrup, which means you smell the drink before you taste it, and that first impression is a large part of what makes the Cloud 9 special. A Medium at roughly 80mg of caffeine gives you a sustained, focused energy lift thanks to the L-theanine in matcha, without the spike-and-crash of espresso.

At the window, say: "Medium Cloud 9 Matcha Latte, hot." That is the full order. If you have never had lavender in a drink before and you are nervous about it tasting like soap or perfume, add "half lavender" - the crew will cut the lavender syrup to one pump, which still gives you the floral character without it dominating the cup. The vanilla does a lot of work rounding out the lavender, so even at full strength it is softer than you might expect.

If hot drinks are not your thing, iced is a perfectly good entry point. The matcha stays earthy and grassy, the lavender becomes subtler, and the whole thing tastes clean and refreshing. Just know that iced mutes the aromatics, so you will not get that spa-like experience you get with hot. The Chiller (blended) version is the lightest on lavender and reads more like a matcha smoothie with a floral hint - good for hot days but not where this drink shines brightest.

One customization to skip on your first order: do not swap the milk yet. Whole milk is the intended base and it provides the creamy richness that balances the grassiness of the matcha. Once you know you like the drink, coconut milk is the best alternative swap because it adds tropical sweetness that complements lavender beautifully.
