Lucky Boy

Lucky Boy leans into comfort with a playful edge.

Sweet and creamy through milk, it delivers notes of caramel and vanilla, lifted by a flash of orange, finishing with smooth, lingering black tea. Generous and crowd-pleasing, this is an espresso that feels familiar from the first sip.

Espresso Blend Description

Lucky Boy leans into comfort with a playful edge. Sweet and creamy through milk, it brings caramel and vanilla together with a flash of orange and a smooth, lingering black tea finish. It’s generous, crowd-pleasing and familiar from the first sip.

Created in 2019, Lucky Boy pairs Brazilian and Guatemalan coffees for a rounded espresso with plenty of sweetness and structure. It shines through milk but is just as comfortable served black or brewed with an Aeropress, plunger or stovetop. Easygoing, versatile and full of charm, it’s become a Padre favourite in its own right.
