It’s pumpkin spice season! September brings thoughts of all things warm and cozy, and the popular latte flavors are no exception. Starbucks started the pumpkin spice craze nearly two decades ago, with other coffee chains following suit over the years. Now, local shops offer creative fall flavor combinations to complement their own takes on the pumpkin spice latte. These fall coffee flavors range from sweet apple butter to warm chai and maple spice. Here are eight shops in the First State to taste delicious fall coffee flavors.
Brew Haha
This staple Delaware café has locations throughout New Castle County. Brew Haha is known (and loved) for a menu full of unique and diverse flavors and friendly baristas always willing to offer recommendations. This year’s “Boo HaHa” fall flavors include a pumpkin white mocha, Snickers, and a “Harvest Moon” flavor made with white mocha, caramel and pumpkin spice.
