Iced Latte vs Frappe: What's the Difference at Nuroh Cafe Jaipur
The Most Asked Question at Our Bar
If you have ever stood in front of the coffee menu at Nuroh Cafe in C Scheme, Jaipur, chances are you have paused at two words, iced latte and frappe. They sound similar, they both come cold, and they both look amazing on your table. But trust us, they are two very different drinks with two very different moods. Our baristas get asked about this almost every hour, so we decided to settle it once and for all.
What Exactly Is an Iced Latte
An iced latte at Nuroh Cafe is pure, simple, and honest. We pull a double shot of our house espresso, pour it over fresh ice, and top it with cold milk of your choice. That is it. No sugar unless you ask for it. No blending. No whipped cream. The goal of an iced latte is to let the coffee speak first and the milk play a supporting role.
It is the drink you order when you want to actually taste your coffee. The chocolatey notes, the hint of caramel, the clean finish. When you ask for an iced latte at our Jaipur cafe, you are asking for coffee first, refreshment second.
So What Makes a Frappe a Frappe
A frappe is a whole different story. A frappe is blended, which means ice, espresso or coffee, milk, sugar, and sometimes flavor syrups all go into a blender together and come out as a thick, frothy, almost dessert like drink. At Nuroh Cafe we make ours with fresh espresso, cold milk, palm sugar, and just enough ice to get that creamy, slushy texture.
"Think of an iced latte as your morning coffee in its coolest outfit. Think of a frappe as coffee on a beach holiday." That is how our head barista in Jaipur likes to put it.
Quick Side by Side
Here is how we would break it down for someone ordering at Nuroh Cafe for the first time.

- Sweetness, iced latte is naturally low in sugar, frappe is dessert level sweet by default

Which One Should You Order at Nuroh
This is the fun part. If you are meeting a client in C Scheme and want to stay sharp, go for the iced latte. If you are catching up with friends after a long week in Jaipur, the frappe is your best friend. If you cannot decide, just ask the barista at Nuroh Cafe, we love helping people find their perfect cold coffee match.
We also have seasonal twists on both. Our Jaipur summer favorite is the salted caramel frappe, and our most ordered iced latte is the vanilla bean version made with single origin beans and fresh Madagascar vanilla.
