FALL SIPS TRAIL
You Told Us, We Went: Coffee, Spice & Everything Nice
Sweater weather and a great cup of coffee? That sounds like a trail worth following.
For this edition of You Told Us, We Went, we stopped into local coffee shops to see what they’re pouring for fall. From seasonal lattes and specialty coffees to warm spices and creative flavors, our local cafés are giving us plenty of reasons to skip the drive-thru and discover something local.
And that’s half the fun. Every coffee shop has its own personality, its own fall creations and, sometimes, a drink you didn’t even know you needed until you tried it.
So grab a friend, take the scenic route and make your own coffee trail this fall.
Know a local coffee shop or seasonal drink we need to try? Tell us where to go next. You tell us. We go.
