Maru coffee menu: signature drinks, classic coffees, tea, and add-ons<\/h2>\n
![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.pandhcafe.com\/restaurants\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/A-beautifully-arranged-coffee-scene-featuring-a-signature-drink-that-embodies-the-essence-of-1024x585.jpeg\" "\\"A")
<\/p>\n
The list is arranged so you can scan fast and pick a drink that fits your mood. Categories move from espresso basics to iced pours, matcha, and simple tea choices. That way you order without second-guessing.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
How the menu is organized from espresso to iced drinks and matcha<\/h3>\n
The menu map is compact and logical. Scan these lanes to decide quickly:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Espresso-based: lattes, cappuccinos, and single\/double shots.<\/li>\n
- Drip & pour: a daily drip and larger brew pitchers.<\/li>\n
- Cold brew & iced: long-steep cold brew and iced espresso drinks.<\/li>\n
- Matcha & tea: hot and iced matcha plus curated tea blends.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What \u201csignature\u201d means and what to try first<\/h3>\n
Signature drinks follow a set recipe. They add a unique syrup, foam, or tonic to highlight flavor. Try a latte for a smooth, milky start. If you want something distinct, pick a signature coffee like the Cream Top or Spiced Cold Brew.<\/p>\n
Add-ons are simple: almond and oat milk swaps, small sweetness adjustments, and top upgrades. For a site service table, use Item \/ Description \/ Size \/ Real-time price and pull pricing from the POS to keep listings accurate.<\/p>\n

These signature coffee picks make ordering simple. Each choice shows a clear build and a distinct finish.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Cream Top<\/h3>\n
The Cream Top is a cold brew base finished with a sweet cream foam. The first sip hits silky sweet cream, then the cold brew unfolds below.<\/p>\n
The cream layer lifts aroma and softens bitterness. Ask for lighter sweetness if you prefer less vanilla-style notes.<\/p>\n
Spiced Cold Brew<\/h3>\n
Spiced Cold Brew uses cold brew steeped with warm spices. It\u2019s an iced pick with a bold, warming edge despite being chilled.<\/p>\n
Espresso Tonic<\/h3>\n
Espresso tonic pairs a bright shot with tonic water for lift and fizz. It feels crisp on a warm day and highlights citrus-like notes in the espresso.<\/p>\n
About \u201ctop\u201d upgrades<\/h3>\n
Top upgrades mean a foam or topping that changes aroma, texture, and sweetness. A cream top adds richness. A foam top brightens sip and finish.<\/p>\n

Espresso, drip, and blends that define Maru\u2019s coffee program<\/h2>\n
![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.pandhcafe.com\/restaurants\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/A-beautifully-arranged-coffee-scene-featuring-a-rich-espresso-shot-in-a-delicate-ceramic-cup-1024x585.jpeg\" "\\"A")
<\/p>\nCore espresso and daily drip selections give you a reliable place to start your order. These staples show the house style even when signature drinks rotate.<\/p>\n
San-mi signature blend: Ethiopia-forward notes and why it works<\/h3>\n
San-mi is the program backbone. It pairs a washed Ethiopian for citrus and tea-like clarity with a natural Ethiopian for berry and sugar notes.<\/p>\n
The two beans are roasted separately and blended. That creates a clean, sparkling acidity with fruity depth. Tasting notes read as floral, strawberry, and maple in everyday terms.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s Grade 1 Ethiopian, roasted in Los Angeles, and sold in a 10oz bag with biodegradable packaging. The roast leans slightly more developed, so it tastes great black or with milk.<\/p>\n
Daily drinks you can expect<\/h3>\n
Order drip when you want a longer, cleaner sip. Choose espresso for a tighter, bolder hit or as the base for milk drinks.<\/p>\n
Expect cappuccino and latte as daily standards. A cappuccino has drier, textured milk and a stronger coffee lift. A latte is milkier and softer.<\/p>\n

When coffee isn\u2019t the plan, these matcha and tea choices deliver calm, clear flavors you can enjoy alone or with a light snack.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Matcha latte and iced matcha latte<\/h3>\n
The matcha latte is smooth and creamy. Powdered matcha is whisked and blended with steamed milk for a velvety texture.<\/p>\n
Order it iced and the matcha tastes brighter and lighter. Ice thins the cream feel and lifts vegetal notes.<\/p>\n
Tea highlights: Kukicha and Masala chai<\/h3>\n
Kukicha green tea is clean and gentle. It\u2019s a simple steep that tastes soft and leaf-forward.<\/p>\n
Masala chai latte is warm and spiced. The chai uses robust spices and steamed milk for a rich, creamy finish.<\/p>\n
Build your drink: quick customization checklist<\/h3>\n
- \n
- Milk choice: dairy, almond, or oat.<\/li>\n
- Sweetness: regular, light, or add vanilla for a dessert-like note.<\/li>\n
