This is the B.B.L (Basic Bitch Latte) ($9.50) from Sneaker Laundry Lab, featuring an iced vanilla latte topped with thick vanilla pudding, brûléed sugar, and sea salt flakes.
The beverage presented with a layered appearance, with brown espresso giving way to a light tan hue from the milk, topped with an off-white layer of thick pudding, golden-brown sugar crust, and sea salt flakes. Despite being brûléed, the sugar did not form a glass-like crust. Instead, it remained soft enough to stick to the back of the spoon and underside of the lid.
A spoon was provided for eating the pudding, although this was largely unnecessary, as the beverage was better integrated when sipped directly from the cup, bringing the latte and pudding together in a single sip.
Initial contact delivered a vanilla latte with a balanced roasted coffee aroma and mellow, rounded vanilla sweetness. Through the mid-palate, the rich vanilla pudding became more prominent, adding a thick, creamy smoothness that reinforced the vanilla flavour while increasing the overall mouthfeel. Towards the finish, a subtle caramelised profile from the brûléed sugar emerged, although the caramel flavour lacked greater depth and the topping did not provide the expected crisp textural contrast.
Overall, an iced vanilla latte with a layered flavour trajectory and integrated creamy texture, resulting in a cohesive but somewhat underdeveloped brûléed topping.
This B.B.L (Basic Bitch Latte) was purchased from Sneaker Laundry Lab in Sydney, Australia in September 2026.
