Nothing says fall like crisp, cool weather with a seasonal drink in hand. But this is Texas, so sometimes our fall drinks are over ice! š If youāre like us, youāve been waiting all year for pumpkin spice to make its return. Or maybe apple cider or toasted pecan is more your speed. Whatever youāre craving, weāve rounded up plenty of fall flavors to try in Allen, Texas. From pumpkin cold brew and seasonal smoothies and to warm, sweet treats, weāve got just the place to start.
Craving Pumpkin Spice?
For fans of the unofficial flavor of fall, weāve got pumpkin to talk about. If you need a caffeine boost with plenty of pumpkin flavor, try a Pumpkin Pie Cold Brew at Frogg Coffee Bar & Creperie. Go all in at Dutch Bros with a Caramel Pumpkin Brulee, available in everything from a latte to a cold brew or chai. Keep it classic at Armor Coffee Co. with their Pumpkin Spice Latte made with house-made pumpkin sauce.
Craving Something Apple?
Pumpkin may be the star of the season, but apple deserves its moment too. For a classic taste of the fall season in Texas, an Autumn Apple Cider from Cozy Coffee Station is the perfect choice. (PRO TIP: CUTX member? Show your Credit Union of Texas debit or credit card at Cozy Coffee Station to receive a discount on your drink!) For apple with a touch of chai, Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea combines chai-spiced cider and caramel in their Spiced Caramel Apple cider. And the Apple Butter Chai Frappe at Frogg Coffee Bar & Creperie is a solid choice if youāre craving apple and spice in a refreshingly cool sip.
Craving More than a Sip?
Sometimes a fall craving calls for something a little more substantial. Grab a spoon and dig into a Pumpkin Patch Bowl at Zās Good Vibez Juice Bar, where pumpkin spice sorbet gets piled with fall favorites like Granny Smith apples, granola, honey, almond butter, cacao nibs and more. Or start your morning at Pure Green at Watters Creek Village with a bowl of Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal to fuel up before your next shopping trip. For something warm and sweet, stop by Einstein Bros. Bagels for a Pumpkin Crunch Pull-Apart Bagel or Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bagel.
Craving Fall Without the Pumpkin?
Not on the pumpkin spice bandwagon? We got you. Armor Coffee Co. brings another classic fall flavor to their menu with a Toasted Pecan Latte, made with butter pecan, vanilla, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. At Dutch Bros, the Cookie Butter lineup combines the spiced flavor of cookie butter with your choice of a latte, mocha, chai, and more. And Cozy Coffee Station has plenty for the pumpkin holdouts, including a Vintage Praline Latte with praline and white chocolate or a Sāmores Mocha with toasted marshmallow and chocolate flavors.Ā
Craving Something Cold?
We love fall as much as anyone, but Texas doesnāt always get the memo when Autumn Solstice rolls around. For a colorful twist on the season, try the Ube Pumpkin Milk at Feng Cha, combining ube and pumpkin in a cold, caffeine-free sip.
