It’s the first week of October, and you know what that means: pumpkin spice. There’s plenty of pumpkin spice lattes to go around — this deemed-basic flavor fad is a seasonal reoccurrence most coffee shops tend to follow.
While we can’t stop the lattes and the -cinnos from resurfacing, we can embrace the other many flavors of fall that are guaranteed to make you wish you were bundled up next to the fire place. Whether you’re looking for a treat to accompany your PSL, seeking new autumnal flavors to try or are just plain tired of your usual, try one of these Baton Rouge menu items.
