Pumpkin Spice Latte
Starting with a true classic: the pumpkin spice latte. Made from scratch with real pumpkin, brown sugar and a top-secret spice blend, Outside Coffee Company’s PSL is the liquid form of your favorite sweater. Try it with whole milk or with any milk alternatives: soy, almond or coconut milk.
The Sparrows Coffee & Tea
1035 Wealthy St. SE
Chai-der
Chai-der is a huge favorite at The Sparrows. Made with their homemade chai and Robinette’s cider, the spice of the chai balances the crisp sweetness of the cider—it’s the perfect encapsulation of “autumn in a cup.”

Fall Feels Latte
Ferris Coffee
227 Winter Ave. NW
