Turtle Coffee

No, turtle coffee has nothing to do with turtle or turtle shells. It has nothing to do with the turtle we all know.

Turtle coffee has different flavours, such as caramel, chocolate, and a hint of hazelnut. You can also add cream to spice it up if you wish. It is only called turtle coffee because it reminds us of turtle clusters candy.

This uniquely made espresso coffee can be enjoyed any time of the day.
