Salted Caramel Mocha
A salted caramel mocha is the perfect fall coffee drink for chocolate lovers. To make one, simply combine coffee, milk, chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, and a pinch of salt. Heat until warm and enjoy!

Fall Coffee Drinks to Order at Coffee Shops
Pumpkin Spice Latte
The most iconic of all fall coffee drinks has to be the pumpkin spice latte. That’s why we put it on the list twice! This sweet and spicy beverage is made with espresso, milk, and a special blend of spices that include cinnamon, ginger, clove, and nutmeg. You can find this at Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts.
Hazelnut Latte
A hazelnut latte is a great way to get your nutty fix in the fall. It’s made with espresso, milk, and hazelnut syrup. You can find this at Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts.
Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino
This is a cold alternative to the pumpkin spice latte if you’re looking for something to cool you down on a hot day. It’s made with milk, ice, pumpkin puree, and a special blend of spices. You can find this at Starbucks.
Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew
This is an absolute staple if you are going to a coffee shop that serves cold brews. If your coffee shop offers cold foam options, you can even double up on your pumpkin flavoring! Though we personally feel that is too much pumpkin flavor, but to each their own!
