Meet the new, improved La Colombe Draft Latte.
Expertly made with espresso-roast cold brew, lactose-free whole milk, and just the right amount of natural sugar. Built for daily life and always ready to drink.

We mastered the art of the latte.

We've been making cafè lattes since 1994, when we opened our first coffeehouse in Philadelphia. 
We poured every ounce of that experience into this cold version.

New

Espresso Roast

Expertly roasted in Philadelphia to bring a bold, coffee-forward profile that balances perfectly with milk - just like a classic café latte should.

Lactose-Free
Whole milk

All the richness of farm-fresh whole milk, frothed to silky perfection - now easier on digestion and built for broader enjoyment.

Balanced,
Subtly Sweet

Designed for everyday sipping, not just an occasional treat. Natural milk sugars and can sugar for a latte that's just right.

A packaging
Refresh

A new look that reflects our elevated taste profile and proudly celebrates our partnership with U.S. Soccer.

A daily sipper decades in the making

Once upon a time in Philadelphia, a customer asked us for a cold latte.

Since then, we’ve been obsessed with perfecting it. Every iteration, including our famously frothy latte, served on tap at our cafés — brings us one step closer.

Crack open the culmination of thirty years of craft. Boldly roasted coffee. Frothy lactose-free whole milk. Natural milk and cane sugar. Nothing more, nothing less.

Farm-fresh.
Lactose-free. Sublime.

This everyday latte's built for everyone. We source lactose-free whole milk from dairy farms just a few miles away from where we make our lattes. Then we froth it until it's silky-smooth—exactly like at our cafés. 

Locally Sourced

Dairy farms just miles away from our Michigan production facility.

Frothed to Perfection

Silky-smooth texture—cafe quality, every single can.

Easier Digestion

All the creaminess of whole milk, without the lactose.

Just the right amount of sweet.

Not all sugars are created equal. We use whole milk's natural sugars and can sugar for a daily latte that's just the right amount of sweet.

Frequently asked questions

Why did you change the formula?

At La Colombe, we believe that coffee is a journey – one that’s never finished. We’re always listening, learning, and working to design products that put the coffeehouse experience in more people’s hands.  

The café experience is our north star. These elevated RTD lattes are a key step in our pursuit to bring coffeehouse quality products to everyone – whether they’re visiting our cafes or ordering RTD lattes online 

Is it still cold brew?

Yes, the foundation of our RTD latte is a cold brew made with our high-quality espresso roast coffee.

Why did you increase the caffeine content? 

We updated caffeine content as part of a broader upgrade to our RTD lattes. The new recipe starts with an espresso roast cold brew concentrate that delivers a stronger kick and more coffee-forward flavor – closer to what you’d expect from a classic café latte. 

The espresso roast concentrate delivers higher caffeine levels, allowing us to offer a latte that feels richer and more robust.

Why did the packaging change?

This fall, La Colombe announced a partnership with U.S. Soccer Federation, making La Colombe the Official Coffee and Cold Brew Partner of U.S. Soccer. This partnership will help us energize soccer fans across the country as we lead into an exciting summer for the sport. 

We’ve enhanced the packaging of our RTD portfolio to celebrate this national, exclusive partnership with U.S. Soccer. 

I always reach for beige when I want a Vanilla RTD latte. Why is the packaging now blue?

We’ve updated the design and color of our Vanilla RTD latte to blue, a color often associated with dairy, to convey the creamy, balanced vanilla flavor you can expect when drinking a La Colombe Vanilla latte.

The drink is less sweet but there are more total sugars. Why is that?

By adding lactose-free whole milk, the total, natural sugar from the milk is slightly increasing. We are decreasing added sugar to create a balanced, coffee-forward beverage.

Why did you remove the fiber?

Our updated formula no longer includes fiber. La Colombe customers come to us for craft, café-quality coffee they can enjoy anywhere, and we’ve elevated our cans to deliver the best taste and texture that evokes the café experience. We believe fiber isn’t a key driver in the RTD coffee category, and this update ensures our lattes reflect what our fans value most: great coffee.

Are all dairy lattes lactose-free now?

Yes! All of our dairy-based RTD lattes are now made with lactose-free whole milk.

Is the product still shelf-stable?

Yes, nothing has changed about how you store and enjoy our lattes.

Is caffeine content changing?

Yes, caffeine levels are increasing since we are now using our new espresso roast, adding bolder coffee to deliver a café-quality experience.
