It’s that time again, folks. A change of seasons is approaching and with that, winter and holiday-themed drinks are beginning to hit local coffee shop + bar menus.

We can’t possible cover them all, but here’s a quick look at some seasonal offerings at a few of our favorite spots:

Leestown Coffee | From classic gingerbread lattes to their newly perfected rosemary latte, the entire menu here will certainly warm you up.

Lussi Brown Coffee Bar | Struggling to choose between coffee and spirits? Have both. Try a Sugarplum Shooter with Castle & Key gin or an Under the Mistle-Tow oatnog.

Third Street Stuff & Coffee | Knock out some holiday shopping while sipping on The Grinch!, a take on a classic peppermint mocha.

Coffee Times Coffee House | Fuel up with a Nutcracker Cortado, featuring hazelnut and espresso, then explore its dozens of other coffee + tea offerings for the warm drink lover in your life.
