Nothing says fall like the dappling of leaves from green to orange, a growing crispness in the air, earlier nights tucked up by the fire, and of course, the legendary Pumpkin Spiced Latte.

This popular coffee drink divides the masses. Is it coffee? Is it dessert? Are you allowed to enjoy it without taking a picture of it? We don’t have the answers, but we do have a solution if you want to enjoy a hit of pumpkin spice without sullying your perfect coffee blend.

If the Pumpkin Spiced Latte isn’t you, never has been you, and makes every bone in your good-coffee-loving body shudder, this no longer has to mean you can’t enjoy the tantalizing taste of coffee and pumpkin in combination. You can carry on enjoying your favourite Co-operative Coffee blends and use our guide to find the ultimate pumpkin spiced dessert to go with it. You can elevate your wildest PSL dreams without having to be that guy.

You don’t have to drink your pumpkin spice to get your fix.

1. Spiced Pumpkin Carrot Muffins and Co-operative Coffee Peru Blend

Try these indulgent pumpkin and carrot muffins paired with our fair trade Peru blend. The smoky, chocolatey notes in the coffee pair sumptuously with the dark chocolate and gentle spice in the muffins. Level up your mid-morning coffee with these simple pumpkin-perfect treats.

2. Pumpkin Spiced Overnight Oats – Co-operative Coffee Breakfast Blend

Wake up and smell the coffee (and pumpkin spice) with our delectable overnight oats, rich with the gentle warmth of nutmeg and cinnamon. The loaded overnight oats are vegan, packed with nutrient-dense chia seeds, raisins, and oats, and compliment the caramel notes of our breakfast blend brew-tifully. Easy to prepare and sure to warm you up, even on the crispest of Fall mornings.

3. Pumpkin Pie – Co-operative Coffee Sumatra Blend

With a buttery, crumbly crust and a velvety rich filling, the classic pumpkin pie really is the king of pumpkin desserts. The king of desserts deserves a king of coffees to match it, and our Sumatra blend is the perfect earthy cup to complement this delectable treat. The earthy nuances and the hint of cloves in this coffee blend are a unique pairing for this mighty dessert, and it won’t disappoint. But be warned — one slice may lead to more.

4. Pumpkin Pie Crumble – Co-operative Coffee French Roast

Our Pumpkin Pie Crumble is a decadent twist on a classic, and we recommend you pair it with our bold and heavy-bodied French roast. The coffee packs a punch and its slight acidity will help cut through the sweetness of the crumble.

So go on, try any of our dessert and coffee pairings to get your dose of pumpkin spice and everything nice, without changing the flavour of your Co-operative Coffee.

And if all this PSL talk has got you craving a warming cup of pumpkin spiced deliciousness, we’ve got you covered with our ultimate Pumpkin Spiced Latte. And don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone.
