Pumpkin Spice Coffee in Providence
It's only fitting that we start with coffee. It was, after all, a Pumpkin Spice Latte that sparked the entire phenomenon. We recommend the traditional Pumpkin Spice Latte at Caffe Nero or Rise 'N Shine Coffee Bar's Great Pumpkin, a seasonal special featuring pumpkin powder, organic espresso, maple sugar, vanilla syrup and pumpkin pie spice. Yum!
Pumpkin Cocktails
If you prefer your pumpkin spice with a little kick, don't miss the Pumpkin Pie Martini at Varsity Luxury Sports Bar, featuring Bailey's and a pumpkin puree. Prefer a mocktail? Head to CHOP for the Sleepy Hollow. The combination of pumpkin, orange, espresso, tonic, vegan caramel cold foam and non-alcoholic amaro is tasty enough to make you lose your head.
Pumpkin Beer
Rather have a beer? No problem! Narragansett Brewing Company's Gourd Reaper and Trinity Brewhouse's Pumpkin Extragourdinary are locally brewed and suitably pumpkin spiced. Best of all, both locations have patios ideal for enjoying an outdoor pint on fall afternoons.
More Pumpkin Treats
As you can see, Providence offers a plethora of pumpkin beverages. But there are also some tasty dishes on local menus, whether you're in the mood for brunch, dinner or even dessert. Try the Cinnamon Pumpkin French Toast at Patio on Broadway's brunch or the Baked Gratin of Pasta with Pumpkin and Smoked Pancetta at Bacaro. Finish your night with Persimmon's Pumpkin Parisian Flan Tart, which comes with a side of maple ice cream. Who could resist?
Whether you're a local or visiting for the fall foliage, Providence offers an impressive array of pumpkin spice goodies that capture the cozy essence of autumn.
