Like many other restaurant and convenience store chains, Pilot Flying J is ushering in the autumn season with two new fall-friendly drinks: the Pumpkin Maple Cappuccino and the Cinnamon Spice Cold Brew.

For those who like things on the warmer side, Pilot Flying J's new Pumpkin Maple Cappuccino is like a warm cup of autumn. Instead of your average [pumpkin spice latte](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-spice-duo-flight), Pilot Flying J's version features the sweet taste of maple for the ultimate medley of fall flavors. For those who prefer to stick to iced coffee, Pilot Flying J is serving up a Cinnamon Spice Cold Brew. According to the brand, "the five-ingredient, all-natural flavored coffee is brewed longer, resulting in a sweeter, rich taste that doesn’t come with bitterness."

Both drinks are available now at all participating Pilot and Flying J Travel Centers across the US.
