Please note that some things are seasonal and you cannot get them year-round.

You should memorize the recipe for what it is you want to order as many baristas will not know these by name because they are not on the standard menu. Don’t be afraid to venture out of your comfort zone and try something new; the good thing is that you know what not to order next time.
