In ‘94 (if not earlier), I was drinking lattes at a mom and pop coffee shop in a tiny town in the Midwest. And at another indie coffee shop at the nearest major university campus. That place was open 24 hours and busy at all hours. I didn’t even know what Starbucks was, but I sure knew lattes and cappuccinos.

So yeah, lattes in ‘94 in a major college town seems totally plausible.

Agreed, I graduated high school in 1995, and I was dating a college girl in Rome, Georgia. Our favorite hangout was a coffee shop that served, among other things, lattes and frappes.
