Jill, it’s their Italian Coffee (which you can actually buy) with I believe condensed milk! I’ve bought the Italian Coffee and tried to make the Spanish latte at home and had zero success until I overheard someone at the cafe say they used condensed milk. This helped a lot.

I’ve noticed mention of Urth’s “spanish latte” a few times…Do you know what flavors are used in it? I looked at their website to no avail. Just wondering what makes it so good!

Alex,

Thanks for your thoughts on the Georgian. Next time I’m “in town,” I’d love to try one of your recommended hotels. I was born in Lompoc (Santa Barbara area), grew up in Port Hueneme and Ventura, and have a Grandmother still living in Oxnard. I’m up for a trip to S. California anytime!
