Fall Drinks at St. Charles Cafes and Coffee Shops
Find pumpkin spice everything at St. Charles coffee shops. Indulge in pumpkin pie tarts from Sucrose Bakery, sip on pumpkin spice tea from Bike Stop Café, or savor maple glazed pumpkin sweet crepes at St. Charles Coffee & Creperie. With pumpkin spice lattes at most coffee shops around, there’s no shortage of pumpkin spice around here (and if there was, we would just run to Olde Town Spice Shoppe and get some of their famous pumpkin dust). Upshot Coffee in Frenchtown even makes their pumpkin sauce in-house. This is a classic seasonal treat you don’t want to miss.
Tired of pumpkin spice? Don’t fret! Many coffee shops in St. Charles have more than just pumpkin spice on their fall menus. Picasso’s has a cozy maple spice latte, Crooked Tree Coffee House has a sticky bun latte with butter pecan, cinnamon, and white chocolate flavoring, and Course Coffee Roasters has a decadent carrot cake latte.
Fall Flavors at St. Charles Breweries
Saint Charles breweries are pouring seasonal favorites to help you feel warm and cozy all season long. Schlafly Bankside on Main Street has the Oktoberfest: a smooth, toasted-malt Marzen. This clean and balanced amber brew is suitably sweet. For the pumpkin spice fanatics, Frenchtown brewery, Good News Brewing has a classic pumpkin ale. Third Wheel Brewing took a unique spin on Halloween with a zombie-inspired sour called “In Your Head”. This sour features hints of pineapple, lime, passionfruit, cinnamon, star anise, and almond.
