Where To Get A Pumpkin Spice Latte In Ocean County

OCEAN COUNTY, NJ — Being halfway into September means that it's definitely pumpkin spice latte season.

There truly is nothing "basic" about the delicious blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, espresso and any other additions you see fit. It's a delicious autumn treat.

So if you're looking to indulge, check out these Ocean County cafes that are serving up seasonal bliss.

Perk Café

333 Route 9, Bayville

You can of course enjoy a classic pumpkin spice latte here. But their seasonal menu also has a cinnamon bun latte, a maple latte and a "trick or treat" latte, or have salted caramel cold brew or pumpkin pie cold brew with spiced cold foam. Not a coffee drinker? Try their pumpkin chai or vanilla chai, or even a pumpkin pie smoothie for a healthier option.

How You Brewin

8 N. Long Beach Blvd., Surf City

It's still local summer, so while you're enjoying the beach, hit up this year-round LBI café (the Barnegat Light location is closed for the season). You can add pumpkin spice flavor to any drink, or buy a bag of their pumpkin-flavored coffee to have at home. Hungry? Order their apple chai oatmeal bowl or turkey asiago sandwich for more seasonal deliciousness.

Spire Coffeehouse

1922 Hooper Ave., Toms River

If you're looking for great fall flavors, you'll want to get their pumpkin spice latte or their apple pie chai. But with tons of syrups available, you can turn any drink into an autumn delight. Create a caramel apple latte or something completely unique. Finish it off with a fresh baked good from local bakeries.

Due-Back

14 Central Ave., Island Heights

Now this is no normal pumpkin spice latte - it's a pumpkin crumb latte. It comes with a spiced cinnamon cold foam, pumpkin drizzle and crumb cake crumbs. Not your thing? Order the caramel apple chai (or swap the chai for espresso) or "the short stack," a turmeric latte with a sweet and smoky maple simple syrup. It's like a breakfast in a cup.
