As you can see by the leaves littering the ground, fall has arrived. Along with the leaves changing and falling to the ground, many coffee shops like Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks break out their anticipated fall flavors! These flavors often include apple and pumpkin, but these coffee shops use them in creative ways. Check out these popular cafés and try their seasonal flavors.
Dunkin’ Donuts cafés offer a plethora of different fall flavors. For coffee, they sell pumpkin flavored coffee (iced and hot) and also a cinnamon flavor.
A Trumbull High student states “The pumpkin iced coffee was so delicious that I purchased K-cups to enjoy it at home!” While enjoying your coffee you can chow down on one of the many baked good Dunkin’ offers. The name Dunkin’ Donuts implies that there will be many delicious donuts to eat, and the title reigns true. D&D seasonal items include three different donuts, two muffins, two types of munchkins, and, the stores also carry an apple pie bar. If you are not impressed enough, Dunkin’ has pumpkin cream cheese to enjoy on your fresh bagel. Stop by Dunkin’ Donuts and try one of their great fall menu items and remember “America Runs on Dunkin.”
Starbucks coffee is known for its sophisticated tastes. During colder weather some of these tastes include salted caramel coffee, pumpkin spice lattes, and Tazo chai tea, which can be purchased as a latte, a frappuccino, or iced or hot.
Along with a beverage, enjoy a bakery item. Starbucks recently started selling cake pops so with your coffee or tea enjoy a seasonal salted caramel cake pop. If you are not into the idea of a cake pop, a pumpkin scone might suit your fancy, a slice of pumpkin bread, or a delicious pumpkin cream cheese muffin. Visit Starbucks and taste the flavors for yourself.
