I’m convinced that the seasonal flavors of autumn are the best of the entire year, and that may actually be the most true at your local coffee shop. Birmingham’s baristas are offering some of the best seasonal beverages right now! So, whether you’re team pumpkin, maple, cardamom, apple, or something entirely different, I promise you’ll find something to love in this list of fall coffee drinks in Birmingham!
- Baba Java‘s Pumpkin Pie latte is fall in a cup. With their syrup made in-house, they guarantee real pumpkin is in this drink, along with their blend of pie spices. Even if you think you don’t like pumpkin spice drinks, you should try this one; it has been known to convert some previous pumpkin coffee haters.
- Cala Coffee‘s Cardamom Bun Capp is a shot of espresso served with 4 oz. of milk, mixed with sweetened condensed milk and cardamom syrup. If you’ve never had cardamom in a coffee drink, you’re definitely in for a surprisingly tasty treat with this one!
- Daysol Coffee Lab‘s Dark Cherry Cappuccino is cozy and fruity and all the good things. Since this is a cappuccino, the cherry isn’t overpowering, and compliments the coffee perfectly, instead.
- Grounds‘s Scary Spice is a latte with butternut squash, pumpkin, cracked peppercorn, and warm spices. This drink is so perfectly fall-ish, and it’s part of an entire Spice Girls-themed fall menu. If Scary isn’t for you, you can try Baby, Sporty, Ginger, or Posh Spice. Genius, no?
- Lee‘s Coffee at Workplay has partnered with BBB to bring you a Gulab Jamun latte this season. This ode to a beloved Indian dessert combines rose, cardamom, and saffron, and is even topped with a gulab jamun. YUM.
- O.Henry’s Coffee‘s Homemade Pecan Pie Latte can be served hot or iced. While it may seem simple, butter pecan syrup is just perfect in coffee, so now you don’t have to wait until Thanksgiving to scratch that pecan pie itch.
- Santos Coffee‘s Salted Caramel Apple Crisp Latte is exactly what the name says. If you can’t decide between an apple cider or a latte, this is the perfect fall drink for you!
- Seeds Coffee‘s Smokey Bandit is a latte made with homemade mocha, cayenne, espresso, milk, and topped with a toasted marshmallow. It’s almost like a grown-up s’more in a cup. Apple Cider Espresso Tonic is perfect for those who can’t decide between coffee and cider. With housemade spiced apple syrup, espresso, and tonic water, it’s the perfect mix of two of the coziest beverages.
So BMC readers, which drink are you most excited about?
