5 Alabama coffee shops you’ll want to visit this fall

I feel like fall is the most-awaited season of the year. Like, sure we all love summer and vacations—but I don’t see anyone riding as hard for an iced caramel macchiato as they do a pumpkin spice latte. The same logic can be applied to egg nog or eating candy.

Fall is the most you’ll find grown adults going all-in on a themed event, whether it be Halloween costume parties or the flavors in their coffee cups.

So before you head to Starbucks or Dunkin’ for a pumpkin spice latte, consider these five locally-owned joints in Alabama.
