When you order a latte or mocha, the barista will likely ask if you want it hot or cold (iced.) If they don’t ask, they will default to what the weather dictates – hot beverages in the winter and iced in the summer.
Of course, when you order, you’ll need to specify your size. I typically only see two size options so you can say either small or large.
Essential Korean Phrases For Dining Out
I mentioned before that not all lattes have espresso in them. If you are ordering a milk-based beverage, use this to ask for added shots.

If black coffee isn’t your thing, you can certainly order coffee with milk. If you prefer cream, use the phrase “keulim keopi.”
