I have been intolerant to lactose for about 10 years now. This seems to be a common problem in Sweden since there are good substitutes for all milk based products in the grocery stores nowadays. All cafes also have the option to get a lactose-free latte. And I like my latte. Over these 10 years this has changed from being a rarity to very common here in Sweden.
But when travelling the story is different. I have assumed that it is impossible to get a lactose-free latte when abroad and never asked. I stick to my single espresso. And when shopping in a grocery store I haven't seen it either. (Finland being the exception.) So to my question: are there other countries except Sweden and Finland where lactose-free alternatives are available?
Best Answer
Certainly in the UK there are many coffee shops which can provide lactose free lattes.
The most common is the use of Soya milk instead of real milk.
So this includes Starbucks in many countries, but also smaller coffee chains, and some local coffee houses.
