LANSING, Ill. (January 12, 2024) – Managing Editor Josh Bootsma and Publisher Melanie Jongsma meet regularly on Tuesdays to touch base about Journal business. Tuesday, January 9, they held their meeting at Kdulche Café (3521 Ridge Road, Lansing IL) and enjoyed their first Lansing Journal Lattes of 2024.

What’s a Lansing Journal Latte?

The Lansing Journal Latte is a signature beverage created by Kdulche owner Eduardo Zepeda. The blend of caramel, chocolate, and vanilla flavors celebrate Lansing’s friendly diversity, and the rich espresso and cream evoke Lansing’s only newspaper.

The beverage is available only in Lansing, Illinois, only at Kdulche Cafe.

The Lansing Journal has created a “Love Lansing a Latte” shirt design to celebrate the unique partnership with Kdulche.

Love Lansing a Latte is available as a shirt, sweatshirt, or hoodie from The Lansing Journal’s TeePublic store. In the image at the top of the page, Melanie is wearing a Lightweight Hoodie in Vintage Grape. Click to shop the options.
