At two of its locations in New York City, Le Pain Quotidien is serving a new off-menu item called the PAWmpkin Spiced Latte for dogs. The autumnal treat for pets is made with the same certified organic pumpkin puree that goes into PSLs for people at Le Pain Quotidien. The new offering for pets is a complement to the human-grade Pumpkin Spiced Latte that's launching on National Pumpkin Day and the dog-friendly version of the treat will be served in tiny cups.
While many cafe chains have created "puppuccinos" and other kinds of pet-friendly lattes for dogs to enjoy, this marks the first time the classic PSL has been offered for dogs. Fortunately for dog owners, the PAWmpkin Spiced Lattes are being shared for free at Le Pain Quotidien's few participating locations.
