One no longer needs to wait until October to see pumpkin-flavored everything. The sweet, subtly spicy pumpkin coffee drinks were an instant sensation when they hit the market in the early 2000s, hot or iced, through one of the world’s biggest coffee chains … so much so that over the course of two decades, they pop up as early as August and stay around well into the holiday season. However, the phenomenon may leave something to be desired for coffee lovers craving other fall flavors. In response, these mom-and-pop shops and regional chains dig a little deeper into their pantries to come up with concoctions utilizing apple, cinnamon, maple, salted caramel, pecan and all sorts of comforting flavors associated with fall.

Buffalo, New York, visitors are spoiled for choice not only when it comes to inventive cold-weather drinks but also in the number of hometown coffee brewers developing them. Toasted Buffalo Beauty Foodie rolls out The Salty Witch, Butterbrew, and Caramel Apple Latte. JAM Parkside got a jump on fall in September by rolling out its Harvest, Brown Sugar, and Butter Caramel drinks. Goodrich Coffee & Tea offers Maple Chai Latte and Salted Caramel Toffee Latte, while Clarence Center Coffee Company currently serves an indulgent Pecan Sticky Bun Espresso with butter pecan, caramel and brown sugar syrups in their mix. Overwinter Coffee has two new secret menu syrups — Apple Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Cardamon — to enliven any coffee drink.
As a coffee alchemist, Ryan Castelaz earned a reputation that percolates far beyond his native Wisconsin. This fall the founder of Milwaukee’s Discourse Coffee and author of The New Art of Coffee: From Morning Cup to Caffeine Cocktail serves up true originals such as Chant (mixing espresso, chanterelle syrup and powder, and oaked maple chai), Clyde (with chai concentrate, tamarind and nutmeg) and El Mocha (with blackberry beet balsamic).

Feb 12, 2025La Samanna, A Belmond Hotel, St. Martin Review
I recently visited La Samanna, a Belmond Hotel, located on Baie Longue (Long Bay) on the Caribbean island of St. Martin. Although most of the resort is on the French side of St. Martin, a very small piece sits on the Dutch side, Sint-Maarten, making it possible to walk from France to Holland, and back again, by taking two steps. Of course, since most of the resort’s guests speak English, everyone working at the resort speaks English as well.

Of all the places in the world, San Diego still feels to me like the one that got away. With its warm ocean, outdoor lifestyle and chill attitude, there aren’t many reasons to leave once you’re there. Somehow, though, after college, I did leave, and so did my husband. Fast-forward a decade or so, after a blind date led to two boys, a house in the Los Angeles suburbs and a desire to share all the San Diego things with our teens during spring break.
