Pumpkin spice + everything nice.

Step aside, Starbucks. Pumpkin spice lattes are just the beginning of what Cola’s coffee shops have to offer this time of year. This autumn, we encourage y’all to go local in your search of hot, seasonal beverages. 👇

My go-to drink in the Fall-time is anything chai. While I usually cave and get Starbucks’ Chai Tea Latte (which literally translates to “tea tea latte,” FYI), I think I’ll take my own advice for once and go local. I’ve got my eye on Grace Coffee Co.’s Vanilla Chai.

Happy sipping,

Anjali
