Fall has officially begun, and this weekend’s weather had us looking for autumn-inspired drinks to ring in the season. We asked readers where they go for their coffee fix + thought of a few personal favorites for our list.
Rostov’s Coffee & Tea | 1618 W. Main St. | Richmond’s first coffee roaster has pumpkin coffee + pumpkin spice chai, which is available hot or iced.
Sefton Coffee Co. | 24 N. 8th St. | Reader Serenity B. swears by the maple cream latte. Or, try out a cinnamon-vanilla or apple-flavored beverage.
Roastology | 2701 W. Cary St. | The shop debuted their seasonal Fall Equinox blend over the weekend. The roast features notes of molasses cookie, silky chestnut + pomegranate. Pro tip: if it’s love at first sip, you can purchase a bag of beans to take home.
Brewer’s Cafe | 1125 Bainbridge St. | Check out their chai latte, or level up and order a dirty bourbon chai latte. And while it’s available all year long, adding honey cream to an espresso beverage has to be a fall favorite.
Ironclad Coffee | 1805 E. Grace St. | Ironclad has Not Karen’s Pumpkin Latte — a combination of bare-knuckle espresso, pumpkin, pie spices, vanilla, caramel + a gingersnap garnish. If you’re in a spooky mood, grab a bag of their Edgar Allen Poe-inspired House of Usher blend.
Stir Crazy Cafe | 4015 MacArthur Ave. | The seasonal drink of choice is The Cellar Door — a hot latte with maple + vanilla syrup and cinnamon. If that’s not comfort in a cup, we don’t know what is.
Lift Coffee Shop & Cafe | 218 W. Broad St. | If you want to try something seasonal + sweet, order the Mayan Mocha. The specialty drink has chocolate, cayenne, and a dash of cinnamon.
Greenbriar Cafe & Coffeehouse | 1211 W. Main St. | In addition to pumpkin spice drinks, this Fan favorite has a variety of fall latte flavors, from Maple Nut + Ghostly Pumpkin to their Hazelnut Chai.
We know we left some places off the list — drop us a line to tell us who we’re missing.
