Fall Flavors are Brewing in Memphis Cafés!
Hey there, Memphis! The crisp autumn air is here, and so are the delightful fall flavors that make our coffee breaks so much sweeter! If you thought pumpkin spice was the only taste of the season, think again! This fall, several local cafés are dishing out some seriously tasty seasonal specials that prove there’s a whole world of flavors to explore. So grab your favorite sweater and let’s dive into the best spots to sip, savor, and enjoy everything autumn has to offer!
Belltower Coffeehouse & Studio
Located at 525 S Highland St, the vibrant Belltower Coffeehouse & Studio is a cozy spot where creativity and caffeine collide. With their fall specials that include apple chai-der, spicy mocha, and even a maple bourbon coffee, there’s something for everyone. But the one that caught my eye? The Apple Chai-Der! This eye-catching drink combines chai, apple cider, vanilla, and cinnamon, giving you a perfect twist on a cozy favorite. Trust me, it’s a real hug in a cup!
The Hub
Next up is The Hub, found at 6000 Briarcrest Ave. They invite you to “experience the difference” when it comes to freshly brewed coffee in a comfortable atmosphere. Their Fall at the Hub menu is covered with tempting options including a pumpkin float, spiced apple chai, and yes, the classic pumpkin spice latte. I couldn’t resist the call of the Iced Pumpkin Float. If you’re a fan of pumpkin and cold foam, this drink is a must-try. It’s like a cool autumn breeze in your mouth!
Team Car Cafe
For all the bike lovers out there, make sure to check out Team Car Cafe at 8100 Macon Station #101. Merging biking and coffee culture, their autumn menu features some intriguing options like pottsfield and harvest moon. I had to try the Cuffed Flannel, which is a delightful spiced apple latte with a smoky twist. This drink definitely lived up to its name and was the perfect companion for a brisk fall day!
17 Berkshire
If you’re wandering around Overton Square, don’t miss 17 Berkshire at 2094 Trimble Pl. This quaint tea, coffee, and bakery shop has an attractive seasonal menu that’s sure to tempt your taste buds. With their offerings of golden chai latte and fall harvest latte, it’s hard to pick a favorite! I went with a hot Fall Harvest Latte topped off with heavenly maple cold foam. Adding that maple was truly the cherry on top! The fall flavors just keep getting better!
My Cup of Tea
Lastly, head on over to 3028 Canes Ave to visit My Cup of Tea. Despite being a tea-focused shop, their creativity knows no bounds! While they don’t serve traditional coffee, they do offer a stunning variety of tea blends. I couldn’t resist trying their popular Roots and Reflections, a splendid mix of apples, hibiscus, almond, lavender, and strawberry yogurt pieces. This blend is perfect for kicking back and relaxing while watching the leaves fall.
Wrap Up
So there you have it, folks! Memphis cafés are truly living up to the autumn spirit with an array of unique flavors that extend beyond the usual pumpkin spice. Whether you’re a coffee lover or a tea enthusiast, these local gems have something special waiting for you this season.
