Pumpkin Pie Latte
Even after the fall frenzy has passed, pumpkin stands its ground as a winter drink staple at La Finca. Made with house-roasted espresso and cinnamon-rich pumpkin syrup, this latte is sure to help put some pep in your step on a cold morning. 137 S. Central, Eureka.
Mulled Spice Brew
This warming brew is made with a drip coffee, steeped with mulling spices, orange, and bitters, and finished with a splash of orange juice. It’s best enjoyed while cozying up in one of the many nooks at Course’s eclectic space. 1218/1220 N. 2nd, St. Charles.
Salted Toasted Pecan Latte
This sweet and salty treat is a great way to kick off your day or boost a dreary afternoon. Made with a rich, pecan cinnamon syrup topped with bits of toasted pecan and flaky sea salt, this latte is even better when seated on The Annex’s back patio under a heater. 8122 Big Bend.
Brown Sugar Rosemary Latte
When ordered hot, the first thing you’ll notice about this latte is its intoxicating aroma. Pairing rich brown sugar with piney yet delicate rosemary, Kaldi’s has created a fan favorite. Kaldi’s currently offers dine-in, curbside, and carryout. Multiple locations.
Peppermint Mocha
Nothing says winter like a peppermint mocha, and this one is as festive as they come. Rich dark or white chocolate, peppermint syrup, and crushed peppermint topping make it the crown jewel of breakfast on a chilly morning. 15480 Clayton.
