The top 5 drinks I tried throughout the area:
#1. Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea: Iced Great Pumpkin Latte with Almond Milk
Shea Sullivan
Price: $6.15 for a Large
Adress: 15 E 17th Ave, Columbus, OH 43201
Review: The pumpkin flavor was perfect and not overpowering at all, had the perfect amount of sweetness, and the coffee was not too strong or weak. A bit expensive and the coffee was a little bitter, but overall it was the perfect fall coffee drink.
#2. Coffee Connections of Gateway: Iced Latte with Oat Milk and Homemade Brown Sugar-Cinnamon Syrup
Shea Sullivan
Price: $6.00 for a Large
Adress: 1572 N High St, Columbus, OH 43201
Review: Subtly sweet, but not overbearing at all. Great coffee taste which is not too strong, oat milk makes it very creamy and smooth, and the brown sugar-cinnamon syrup adds a great flavor. Syrup made the drink a little gritty, and it was somewhat expensive, but it was a great drink and quality crafted.
#3. ZenCha Tea Salon: Iced Hazelnut Chai Latte with Soy Creamer
Shea Sullivan
Price: $5.99 for a Whole Tea Set
Adress: 982 N High St, Columbus, OH 43201
Review: While this might not be the typical fall drink, it is still perfect for the season. The tea had a great flavor and was not overly strong or bitter at all. It had the perfect amount of sweetness and was very smooth. The chai spice was not very noticeable, but the hazelnut added a great flavor. This was served in a tall glass jug, with about 5 or 6 servings in a small tea cup. Great value for the price.
#4. Cielo Cafe: Iced White Pumpkin Latte with Almond Milk
Shea Sullivan
Price: $5.65 for a Medium
Adress: 1762 N High St, Columbus, OH 43201
Review: This is probably the ideal fall coffee drink everyone thinks of. However, this tasted somewhat like a ginger bread cookie; the spice was overpowering and the drink was extremely sweet. The coffee was not strong and was honestly not even noticeable. Yet, this is certainly a classic coffee drink for the season.
Buckeye Donuts: Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte
Shea Sullivan
Price: $3.65 for a 16oz (Small)
Adress: 1998 N High St, Columbus, OH 43201
Review: The pumpkin flavor was perfect and not overbearing at all. The drink was not too sweet, yet it was a little too creamy from the milk, which made the coffee a bit weak. Certainly not the best quality coffee, yet it is perfect for a cheap fall drink when you need some coffee to get your day going.
