Fall is here, and with it comes cozy sweaters, crunchy leaves, and the best part — delicious seasonal coffee drinks! If you're like me, you probably love switching up your coffee routine to embrace those warm and comforting fall flavors.
Today, I’m sharing some fun and easy ways to enjoy coffee this fall, featuring four delightful recipes that you can whip up at home. Whether you’re a pumpkin spice fan or looking to experiment with something new, there’s a cozy cup of coffee waiting for you. Let’s dive in!
1. Pumpkin Spice Latte
Is it even fall if you don’t have a Pumpkin Spice Latte in hand? This drink is the quintessential fall treat, but instead of heading to your local café, why not make it at home? The twist here is using pumpkin spice honey as the sweetener, which adds a naturally sweet flavor with a warm, spiced kick.
Ingredients
- 1 cup strong brewed
Catuai Natural or 1-2 shots of espresso
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon
pumpkin spice honey
- ½ teaspoon
pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup milk (or your favorite non-dairy alternative)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
1. In a small saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and milk. Heat on medium, whisking until smooth and hot.
2. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and pumpkin spice honey until well combined.
3. Pour the mixture into your brewed coffee or espresso.
4. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice if you’re feeling extra festive.
This Pumpkin Spice Latte will give you all the fall vibes without the need to leave your house. Plus, that pumpkin spice honey sweetener takes this classic drink to the next level with a more natural sweetness and deep spice flavor.
2. Maple Coffee
Maple syrup is synonymous with fall, but have you ever tried maple sugar powder as a coffee sweetener? Maple sugar powder gives your coffee a rich, earthy sweetness that’s perfect for crisp fall mornings.
Ingredients

June Anaerobic

maple sugar powder
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream (optional, for a richer taste)

cinnamon (optional, for a warm spice note)

2. Stir in the maple sugar powder until it dissolves.
3. Add a splash of heavy cream for a smooth finish and top with a sprinkle of cinnamon if you like.
The maple sugar powder melts seamlessly into the coffee, giving it a subtle sweetness without being overpowering. It’s the perfect drink to sip on during a chilly morning walk or while watching the leaves fall.
3. Apple Cider Coffee
This might sound like an unusual pairing, but trust me — it’s a match made in fall heaven. The light roast coffee blends beautifully with the spiced apple cider, creating a drink that captures the best of both worlds: the tart, spiced flavor of cider and the rich warmth of coffee.

Tipica Honey

cinnamon stick (optional)

This drink is like fall in a mug — slightly sweet, wonderfully spiced, and refreshingly unique. It’s perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up when you’re looking for something a little different.
