Fall Favourites from the Coffee Cave

      Here is a list of comfy, cosy drinks to keep you company this autumn, ranging from the intensely sweet candy corn to the warm and comforting fall apple. While these coffee and tea drinks are generously available year-round at the iconic Coffee Cave, they are best enjoyed right in the middle of the best season - autumn!

      A simple fall classic that can't be beat, and it smells as good as it looks. Rich, black coffee has been seasoned with pumpkin pie spices and topped with whipped cream, sweetening your daily caffeine rush into an autumn treat. The beautiful sprouting pumpkin mug elevates your typical coffee cup into a whimsical drink - it would look right at home in any Earth Faerie's kitchen. I'm told that even Edna the Witch occasionally ventures outside of Haunted Woods in disguise to pick up this favourite sweet treat, but you didn't hear that from me! Best recommended to pair with a good, long book from Booktastic Books.

      Love it or hate it, spiced pumpkin is a yearly favourite for many Neopians. This warm drink focuses on more savory flavours instead of sweet. Added pumpkin juice squeezed right from fresh pumpkins grown in Meridell makes your coffee a more hearty and rich experience without a ton of added sweetness. It can be a bit bitter and is more of an acquired taste to some, but many Neopians say the taste can't be beat! Additional simmered spices complete the flavour, and the robust pumpkin-shaped mug will have you yearning for a hayride in Haunted Woods next.

      Looking for something a little more chocolatey? Chocolate Pets and fans of the Annual Chocolate Ball will especially love this blend. This less-loved relative of the latte is a delicious blend of coffee with espresso, milk, and chocolate featuring rich spices for a fall theme. It also has a charming pumpkin-shaped mug to help insulate the drink and keep it warm. And the additional caffeine will keep you playing Meerca's Chase until you get the high score. Need even more energy? Try asking the barista for additional shots of espresso for even more caffeine.

      Have we gone too far with sweet coffee drinks? Many Neopians would say: "Absolutely not!". For those with a sweet tooth, including many Candy and Chocolate Neopets, you can celebrate Halloween early with this candy drink. Featuring the iconic Trick or Treat-staple, this latte is made with candy corn and has the bright colours to match. Elderly pets may say "Bleh!", but young Neopets will appreciate the sweet flavour added to their coffee. Candy Korbats are especially fond of this unique drink. Collect Trick-or-Treating bags across Neopia all night long with this caffeine (and sugar!) boost! Just make sure to brush your teeth twice a day.

      A more grown-up version of the Candy Corn Latte, this drink is a perfect match to go with all your Uni's Clothing shopping trips. A frothed milk and coffee concoction with special pumpkin seasonings will keep you going even when it's chilly outside, and a bit of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon really bring the magic. Highly recommended to give you the energy to run all those Esophagor quests you need to do later! Even the little pumpkins on top are edible - charming!

      Curl up in your reading corner with your favorite book (Spooky Stories, perhaps?) to enjoy a warm tea with blended spices. For those that want to relax rather than play Yooyuball for 9 hours straight, pick up this perfect blend of autumnal flavours, including cinnamon, apple, and ginger. While best served hot, it can also be enjoyed cold and iced, for those that live in extra warm areas like the Lost Desert. Just make sure the teabag doesn't stew for too long, you don't want the flavour to be too strong!

      If you're tired of pumpkin spice everything, consider the fall flavours of harvested apples as a delicious alternative. Apple orchards across Meridell will soon be collecting their fall harvest and brewing this special cold-season favorite. Apple and caramel flavours perfectly complement your morning coffee, with some additional cinnamon for a bit of indulgence. If you need more sweetness, add some whipped cream to the top of the drink! Apple slices added to the topping will make sure you get your daily dose of fruit as well. Just remember that Kyriis, which are allergic to apples, shouldn't be served with this drink or any other apple-related treat!

      This simple tea combines the unique taste of Azzle fruit (a relative of the apple, supposedly) with brown sugar in a warm fall brew. The combinations of flavours creates a beautiful fall-coloured swirl that will remind you of the changing leaves with reds and yellows. Reminiscent of Azzle cider, consider sipping this comforting drink to warm up before an evening out at the Deserted Fairground to play some fall carnival games (I'll win at Test Your Strength some day!). Also a great and safe alternative for Kyrii allergic to apples.

      Whether you enjoy coffee or tea, love or hate pumpkin spice, delight in savory or sweet flavours, we hope you can find the perfect fall drink for the season. Halloween and Ghost pets tend to especially enjoy these seasonal treats and would love to accompany you on a fall adventure to try them all! These flavours are best enjoyed in cold weather, so enjoy them while it's nice and chilly outside. Have a wonderful autumn, Neopians!
