10 Fall Drinks To Order At Your Favorite Coffee Chains Slideshow
Each coffee chain has its own take on what a true fall beverage should be, and this time of year, coffee companies give their menus a serious revamp, incorporating flavors like pumpkin, apple, cinnamon, and nutmeg, among many others into their offerings.
Thanks to Starbucks, pumpkin-flavored coffee drinks have become universal for the fall. Though coffee lovers can't get enough of the beloved Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte, other companies have stepped up to the plate (or the cup), offering a wide range of alternatives.
Whether it be the classic PSL, a white chocolate mocha, or a caramel cooler, fall provides an exciting variety of coffee flavors to try. Take a look at these 10 festive drinks you can order at your favorite coffee chains this fall.
Caribou Coffee Caramel Cooler
Caribou's fall flavor selection is one of few that offers more than pumpkin. The Wild Caramel Cooler is a refreshing beverage topped with caramel drizzle and whipped cream.
Caribou Coffee Wild Caramel Apple
Though this Minnesota-based coffee company specializes in espresso beverages, they aren't afraid to jump on the fall flavor coffee bandwagon. Their Wild Caramel Apple drink is a spin-off of their signature White Chocolate Mocha, with an added infusion of caramel apple syrup.
Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf Butterscotch
Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf has done an excellent job representing the smaller coffee chains in our fall flavor roundup. They recently announced they will be serving a salted butterscotch latte for the first time, which includes rich notes of caramel and a touch of salt. Hurry and try this special drink, for it is only available until November 1!
Dunkin Donuts Pumpkin Iced Coffee
For those of you who are adventurous enough to brave the cold and continue to drink iced drinks in chilly weather, Dunkin Donuts offers pumpkin iced coffee all throughout the fall. If you're having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that summer has finally come to an end, this beverage can make your transition a little easier.
Dunkin Donuts Pumpkin Macchiato
The pumpkin macchiato is an exciting addition to the small lineup of espresso beverages Dunkin Donuts has to offer. This macchiato is a handcrafted espresso drink, layered with steamed milk and pumpkin flavoring, making it a delicious fall beverage worth trying.
Einstein Bros Pumpkin White Chocolate Mocha
Einstein Bros may not be a true coffee chain, but their attempt to create their own fall drink and compete with the big guys makes us inclined to mention them. Einstein Bros offers a white chocolate mocha year round, but for fall, they spice things up and morph it into a Pumpkin White Chocolate Mocha.
Peet’s Coffee & Tea Pumpkin Latte
Some coffee chains make an effort to get fancy with their fall flavors, but Peet's sticks to the basics. For the fall they only go about as far as offering a classic pumpkin latte, filled with fresh-pulled espresso, steamed milk, and vanilla, along with pumpkin flavoring.
Tim Hortons Pumpkin Pie Latte
Eager to jump on the fall flavored band wagon, Tim Hortons started offering their fall menu in August. Notable additions to their 2015 fall specials include an apple pie fritter, and of course, a pumpkin pie latte (deliciously drizzled with pumpkin syrup).
Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte
We've finally reached the drink where it all began. If you ever set out to do research on the famous PSL, you'll find that the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte was the first fall-specific flavored drink to ever hit the market. Click here to learn how to make your own PSL.
Starbucks Toasted Graham Latte
For the first time in four years, Starbucks has released a new fall beverage — the toasted graham latte. This newcomer consists of steamed milk, sweet cream, cinnamon graham cracker crumbles, and graham cracker flavoring. Move over PSL, there's a new kid on the block.
