Latte, pronounced as “lah-tay,” is short for caffe latte. It is a hot coffee drink invented by the Italians by combining shots of espresso and steamed milk.
A mocha is similar to a latte (espresso + hot milk), but with chocolate, added via cocoa powder or chocolate syrup. Think of a mocha as a grown-up hot chocolate!
The main difference between a latte and a mocha is that the mocha includes chocolate and a latte doesn't.
A mocha is sweeter than a latte with its addition of chocolate. If you have a sweet tooth , you'll likely want to choose a mocha over a latte!
