Three holiday-themed lattes to try in the Twin Cities

Looking to get into the holiday spirit? A piping hot seasonal beverage should do the trick.

• Here are three local options the Axios Twin Cities team tried and loved:

🥔 Sweet Potato Maple Bourbon Latte at Dogwood Coffee Roasters: Super rich — start by ordering a small — but so good.

• Confession: Torey orders this at least once a week.

🌿 Mint Thyme Mocha at Bootstrap Coffee Roasters: The thyme taste is strong —the use of "herbaceous" in the description is spot on.

• The minty "Festive Matcha" also looks intriguing.

🎄 The Gingerbread Man at Gray Fox Coffee: Sugar, spice and everything nice. We give this one top marks.

• Pro tip: The cafe's Uptown location, housed in the lobby of an apartment building, is an excellent and crowd-free place to work.
