Ambee isn’t just your typical coffee stop—it’s a little autumn escape. Their seasonal offering? A “true pumpkin latte,” made with pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and plant-based options for those skipping dairy.

2. Kafe de Manila – 120 W Main St, Suite B
⭐️4.8 · Coffee Shop
If you’re looking for something a little different, Kafe de Manila delivers. Their seasonal stand-out: the Ube Pumpkin Latte—a blend of espresso, creamy ube (purple yam), and pumpkin spice. Yes, you read that right—purple yam and pumpkin spice.
It’s a bold mash-up that works: vibrant color, cozy flavor, and just the right dose of novelty to make your Instagram story. Brew it hot for max autumn vibes.
