Let’s Connect on Social
Pumpkin spice latte may be the poster child of fall, but if you're ready to shake things up, let us introduce you to the Coquito Latte, the Puerto Rican twist on holiday cheer that packs a flavor punch. With a splash of rum-inspired flair and a rich, creamy coquito sauce, it’s time to say goodbye to the pumpkin spice craze and embrace a taste that truly celebrates the season.
The Birth of the Coquito Latte
Inspired by the beloved Puerto Rican holiday drink coquito, our Coquito Latte is a celebration of tradition, culture, and creativity in every sip. Coquito, often described as Puerto Rico's answer to eggnog, is a luscious, creamy drink made with coconut milk, condensed milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of rum. For generations, it has been the drink of choice at festive gatherings, bringing families together for a taste of the island’s warmth and joy.
At 787 Coffee, we wanted to bottle that holiday magic and translate it into a coffee experience unlike any other. The result? The Coquito Latte— a drink that’s equal parts nostalgic and innovative.
How 787 Coffee Invented the Coquito Latte
Bringing the Coquito Latte to life was no small feat. The creative process started at our coffee farm, Hacienda Iluminada, where we aimed to blend Puerto Rico's coffee heritage with its cultural flavors. After months of experimenting, we developed our signature coquito sauce, a silky blend of the classic coquito ingredients (sans the alcohol) that pairs perfectly with our rich Arabica coffee beans.
This wasn’t just about adding flavor to coffee. It was about creating an experience—a sip of tradition for the Puerto Rican diaspora and a new discovery for coffee lovers around the world.

Reviving Puerto Rico’s Coffee Heritage
At 787 Coffee, we are proud to be part of a movement that’s reviving Puerto Rico’s storied coffee legacy. Once the sixth-largest coffee producer in the world, Puerto Rico was renowned for its premium beans, so much so that the Vatican and the kings of Spain specifically ordered coffee from the town of Maricao. This rich history inspires everything we do. By cultivating our beans in Puerto Rico’s fertile volcanic soil and embracing sustainable farming practices, we honor the island’s past while building a vibrant future for its coffee industry. With every cup, 787 Coffee reconnects the world to Puerto Rico’s legacy of excellence and innovation in coffee. Best coffee shops near you. Google us: 787 Coffee shops near me.
