The Best Autumn Coffees (That Aren't Pumpkin Spice!)

Autumn has arrived! And with it comes the change of season. While autumn may bring cooler weather, we think it brings us some delicious coffee treats too! From hazelnut coffee to caramelized maple syrup, here’s our list of three fall favourites, that aren't your typical Pumpkin spice latte. 

Autumnal coffees are traditionally served hot but can easily be made into cold beverages such as Iced Coffee as well. They are made with dark roasts, espresso beans, and for a more luxurious strong coffee experience, ground-up nuts. 

We've put together a list of our favourite coffee flavours that represent all things autumn, from walking in the park to sitting at home watching scary movies, let's take a look at our autumn-inspired seasonal menu.

Hazelnut Coffee

Hazelnut coffee is a fan favourite here at Skinny Food Co, with earthy & nutty tones, the hazelnut flavour really does embody autumn, we have a range of hazelnut products to help enhance your cup of coffee, from hazelnut syrup to creamer. 

But what can you make with them?

Hazelnut Espresso 

A rich blend of espresso beans mixed with roasted hazelnuts, you can make your own hazelnut espresso without the hazelnut coffee beans by adding a touch of our hazelnut syrup for coffee. 

Hazelnut Latte 

Served warm, this latte combines steamed milk and cinnamon sugar topped off with a generous amount of creamy hazelnut crema.

Enjoy a completely vegan Hazelnut latte by using our hazelnut coffee creamer, the perfect gift for all vegan coffee roasters and coffee drinkers nationwide. All you need to do is swap out your standard milk alternative for our creamy coffee creamer and voila! You'll have the perfect morning coffee for your autumn walk.

Upgrade Your Coffee To Barista Standards By...

Adding some crushed nuts, popcorn or chocolate sprinkles, alternatively you can recreate this as your favourite cold drinks by pouring over ice and shaking well!

Not a fan of coffee, but fancy an autumn drink? 

Chocolate Hazelnut Hot Cocoa – Warm up with a cup of chocolate hazelnut hot cocoa. Simply combine our hazelnut creamer, 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 4 ounces of bittersweet chocolate, and 1 tablespoon hazelnut syrup. Heat until boiling then let simmer for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with crushed hazelnuts.

Caramel Coffee

Almost as popular as Pumpkin Spice Lattes, Caramel syrups offer a sweet and almost buttery taste. Caramel lattes in particular are incredibly popular during autumn & colder months in the lead-up to Christmas. Whilst there are quite literally hundreds of flavoured coffees, caramel coffee syrup definitely takes the lead with popularity amongst coffee lovers.

Hot & Iced Caramel Lattes

The pumpkin spice latte is one of our most popular fall drinks, it’s like a cross between a pumpkin pie and a hot chocolate, there's no denying it's sweet in flavour and a great pairing for an autumn drink, but there have to be other options - well there is!

Our caramel lattes are the perfect addition to the autumn menu, and best of all they can be enjoyed as both a hot drink or an iced Frappuccino 

It is a delicious combination of organic coffee beans & our caramel creamer - that's it! So easy to make with the best results.

A Simple Maple Latte

Our simple maple latte is truly to die for. With subtle hints of sweet maple and aromatic spicy cinnamon, it's hands down the best autumn warmer hot coffee about! There's no need for fancy coffee machines, milk frothers or barista-level skills. All you'll need to do is combine our original barista coffee creamer with our maple & cinnamon zero-calorie sugar-free skinny syrup and add it to your favourite coffee beans or double espresso shot.
