Autumn is upon us and while we’re here for the fall colours, pumpkin patches and cosy sweaters, what really signifies the arrival of fall for us is when pumpkin spice lattes make their debut in coffee shops. And while this year, Starbucks, purveyors of the original PSL brought the warm, spiced coffee back earlier than ever (mid-August is not autumn, by the way), nothing tastes better than supporting our local cafes. Here are a few spots in the city to grab a cup of this fall treat.
Everbean Cafe
Unit 106 15331 16th Avenue
South Surrey
Tucked away inside the lobby of a health centre in South Surrey, Everbean Cafe is an oasis of happiness and coffee joy! Stop by and order from their seasonal menu, including a “real” pumpkin spice latte blended with house-made vegan pumpkin sauce made from real pumpkin puree!
Boothroyd Heritage Coffee
16811 60 Avenue
Cloverdale
The rich history of the house lends itself to creating the atmosphere of a one-of-a-kind coffee house that is a firm favourite of locals and visitors. At Boothroyd Heritage Coffee’s you can enjoy everything from your basic (but excellent) drip coffee or cappuccino, to soul-warming creations like their Pumpkin Chai Latte, a twist on the classic PSL.
Mink Chocolates & Cafe
Unit F-110 Morgan Crossing, 15775 Croydon Drive
