Although the weather still feels like summer, the fall season is nearly here, and with it an eager demand for pumpkin everything.
Too soon? Well, not for some coffee lovers.
Instead of ordering the played-out pumpkin latte from Starbucks, check out these unique fall drinks from local coffee shops in downtown Phoenix.
Luana’s Coffee and Beer
The return of the Headless Horseman: Luana’s fall drink features an organic pumpkin pie house sauce added to the house chai with cinnamon and madagascar vanilla. This seasonal pumpkin chai tea latte will be available on September 7.

Froth Coffee Roasters
On September 1, Froth Coffee Roasters started selling the Erma Gourd. It’s a pumpkin spice vanilla chai latte served with your choice of milk, including dairy-free options. Don’t fret! This fall drink will be available both hot and iced to enjoy as the high temperatures continue.
