The end of summer means the unveiling of autumnal cafe menus that often focus on pumpkin and spice flavor profiles, but the Caribou Coffee new fall menu is here to offer a decidedly fruit-forward alternative.
The menu consists of 23 drinks for customers to order that includes classic flavors like the Pumpkin Latte, Pumpkin Espresso Shaker and more. The menu, however, puts honeycrisp apples in the spotlight for several drinks including the Honeycrisp Apple Caramel Espresso Shaker, Honeycrisp Apple Caramel High Rise, Honeycrisp Apple Energy Drink, Honeycrisp Apple Caramel Oatmilk Steamer, Honeycrisp Apple Nitro High Rise and the Honeycrisp Apple Caramel High Rise Caribou Cooler. These beverages aim to provide consumers with something decidedly fresher than pumpkin and spice alternatives.
