Wildwood Coffee Co.'s Latte

Bottoms Up
By Anna Faller | May 17, 2025

We get it: morning decisions are hard, especially when it comes to coffee. For our AM fix, find us at Wildwood Coffee Co. in Indian River, where everything from local art to light breakfast and pastries are on the menu. Our first order, though, is the Wildwood Latte. The perfect juncture of jump-start meets daily indulgence, this expertly balanced sip combines an espresso blend from Black Diesel Coffee in Ann Arbor with Northwoods’ vanilla cane sugar syrup and a drizzle of local maple syrup. Mix it with your choice of milk and an optional sprinkle of cinnamon, and then prepare yourself for consciousness! (As for a baked good to go with it? Don’t miss the scratch-made blueberry muffins!). Grab one hot or iced ($6.10 for a 16oz cup) at Wildwood Coffee Co. at 3464 S Straits Hwy in Indian River. (231) 238-2321
