It’s time for cozy, caffeinated lattes and sweet sprinkled treats to fuel the ho-ho-holidays. Say season’s greetings to these festive sips and snacks this winter.

Fill your cup

Honest Coffee Roasters | The iced Merry Berry Tonic features a housemade syrup infused with cranberry and rosemary.

Matryoshka Coffee | Pro tip: Matryoshka adds a touch of vanilla to the housemade minty syrup featured in Santa’s Slay.

8th & Roast | Swifties, try this: The Back to December latte inspired by a sugar cookie features almond and brown sugar simple syrup + holiday sprinkles.

Surefire Coffee Co. | Stop by Surefire for the shop’s first holiday season and sip on one of six festive drinks — like two mochas named after Mr. and Mrs. Claus or the eggnog latte.

Crema Coffee Roasters | This peppermint patty-flavored creation highlights a cool mint syrup and warm dark chocolate sauce, finished with a crumbled Oreo cookie and peppermint topping.

Elegy | Spice, spice, baby. The gingerbread au lait is prepared using a Guatemala San Jose Del Lago drip, gingerbread, winter spiced whip, and ginger snap crumble.

The Well Coffeehouse | The Well’s seasonal specials include the Havana Sunset (Cuban with orange and cinnamon), Cider Who Stole Christmas (apple pie cider), and a peppermint mocha latte. Bonus: By popular demand, the PSL at The Well will be served until the end of the year.

Two bûches de noël logs, a vanilla and chocolate version, sit on a holiday decorated table.

Take a bite out of these offerings.

🍩 Fill your plate

Donut Distillery | The donut shop’s annual Elf-themed pop-up returned at the start of December with holiday donuts and cocktails.

Little Gourmand | The French café and market’s bûches de noël (yule logs) offerings include Chambord (vanilla genoise, raspberry purée, vanilla bavaroise, and white chocolate frosting) and Opera (chocolate genoise, coffee syrup, chocolate mousse, coffee bavaroise, and chocolate frosting).

E+Rose | “6:30, dinner with me... I can’t cancel that again.” The Grinch Bowl is the perfect way to fill up (blended almond milk, bananas, spirulina, cashew butter, peppermint, and cacao nibs).

Five Daughters Bakery | Find a variety of holiday flavor options for the bakery’s 100 layer, 100 layer mini, and yeast-raised donuts. Try this: Stawberry Lemon Shortcake.
