Pumpkin and Maple Tastes Festoon Peet's New Fall Menu

You can't take a photo of every pumpkin in every patch around Southern California over the course of a single autumn, because documenting thousands of orange orbs would likely take you several falls and then some.

But trying every major pumpkin-fun coffee beverage to appear on the menu at a local coffeehouse?

That feels far more doable, delicious, and still packed with pumpkin-y panache.

Plenty of latte lovers make that a #gourdgoal each fall, as they're planning their pumpkin-focused fun times. And one of the newest of the limited-time menus just arrived at your local Peet's Coffee.

For sure, the California-started powerhouse of beans 'n bites has a couple of pumpkin-centered sips on the menu, with a classic Pumpkin Latte at the forefront, and a Pumpkin Oat Foam Cold Brew adding a layer of foamy lusciousness.

But other deep-flavored, cooler-weather-ahead tastes are part of the libation line-up. Look for a Maple Latte on the roster, and a Maple Oat Frappé, too (like the Pumpkin Oat Foam Cold Brew, it boasts a "smooth" Baridi Blend).

And the festive and new foodstuff on the late-summer-into-early-fall menu? It's a Chicken & Waffles sandwich, which includes "... two maple waffles topped with a crispy layer of toasted gouda cheese, savory chicken sausage, bacon, and a custom sweet & spiced spread, all crafted to satisfy cravings any time of day."

That's right: The "any time of the day" part means you don't need to stop by at breakfast to buy this hearty fare.
