Lovin’ the Latte: A road trip from Oak Lawn

-

News of Kdulche’s Lansing Journal Latte has reached the western suburbs

LANSING, Ill. (November 26, 2023) – Having missed this summer’s Journal Java Chip promotion with Gayety’s Chocolates and Ice Cream, sisters Jean and Karen Racek were determined not to let the Lansing Journal Latte pass them by. They organized a road trip to Kdulche Café, where they enjoyed a Sunday lunch and a round of the increasingly popular beverage.

The friends discovered that the Lansing Journal Latte is not “syrupy sweet,” despite the mix of chocolate, vanilla, and caramel in the recipe. The beverage is created exclusively by Kdulche Café (3521 Ridge Road in Lansing) to represent the diverse community served by The Lansing Journal.
