xpost Dan you are standing in a very trecherous position calling out other people for ineffectual rants! I mean I might as well start calling out the Starbucks dude for being an overcorrective, smug douche immediately after posting corrections to Spanish spellings on the St. Patrick's thread!!!!!!!!!

For shame, sir; FOR SHAME.

Anyway I lived out west also and have never heard of this abomination but I never really frequented Starbucks til I moved back east and lived pretty much next door or above multiple Starbucks. Still it doesn't make sense, "West Coast" cafe au lait and "East Cost" cafe au lait. It's like Hellman's v Best Foods, wtf they're the same goddamn thing.

A quick Google on "starbucks misto" turns up a lot of references which indicates that it is indeed the preferred Starbucks terminology - and some people who dispute that it is really the same drink as a cafe au lait.

A local coffeeshop owner told me that Cafe Con Leche is made with condensed milk, but that might just be the way she makes it. Dunno. But Jersey City does have a ton of places that serve it due to the sizeable Cuban population, so she may know what she's talking about. In any case, good espresso + steamed condensed milk = fucking amazing.
