At Rêve Coffee Lab in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, every last signature drink is created in-house by talented, creative baristas. The company hosts a signature drink competition for every season of the year with cash prizes to the top four. Fostering this kind of creativity results in delicious beverages—take the NOLA Egg Cream from barista Kylie Bihm. The drink takes the classic egg cream (seltzer, milk, chocolate) and steps it up a notch.
We spoke with Creative Director Carter Liles to learn more.
