It's hard steaming milk so there's absolutely no foam! LOL Many a time, those people would hand the drink back to the new baristas so they'd scoop off the microscopic layer of bubbles with a spoon. I always thought mochas and other drinks containing syrups should go in espresso > syrup > milk > toppings, but our company had us put the syrup in first. Now they're melting chocolate chips in milk and pouring that instead of using syrup. I worked at Caribou.

I like a flat white, but never knew what it was called. Not the biggest fan of foam. I wonder how many coffee bars in the Houston area will know what it is if I order one. Cool.
