“Every year our guests start asking when pumpkin season is coming back,” said Chadd Satterfield, general manager. “If sipping pumpkin lattes and cocktails in August brings joy during this extreme heat, we’re happy to do our part.”
Through Oct. 31, guests can try a rotating selection of pumpkin-inspired menu items. Seasonal coffee drinks include the pumpkin loaf latte, an espresso drink with pumpkin, white chocolate, toasted marshmallow sweet cream, honey and crunchy pumpkin wafers. The brown butter latte is made with housemade brown butter syrup, salted caramel sweet cream and Belvita cookie crumbles. Coffee drink prices vary by size.
Cocktails include the spiced pumpkin espresso martini ($15), featuring reposado tequila, Borghetti coffee liqueur, spiced pumpkin syrup, Polynesian Kiss bitters and fresh espresso, finished with cinnamon and salt. The Chai Tai ($13) is a tropical-inspired cocktail blending Bacardi rum, Zaya rum, triple sec, pineapple juice, lime juice and chai orgeat.
Dishes include the pumpkin prosciutto flatbread ($16), topped with butternut squash, caramelized onions, crispy prosciutto, mozzarella, pumpkin goat cheese, a drizzle of spicy honey and fresh chives.
