Steamy Hallows originally opened its doors back in February and has since become a hit with Harry Potter fans due to its magical wizard theme. According to the cafe's description, "This witchy goth coffee shop serves up delicious coffee and tea potions and homemade cookies in an immersive environment celebrating Halloween." This means that you can munch on a [Hogwarts-inspired menu](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hogwarts-x-krispy-kreme) and while taking in the Great Hall-esque decor. The cafe also serves up its own take on [Butterbeer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butterbeer-kisses) called '[Glitter Butterbeer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/couplet-coffee-half-magic),' which combines butterscotch and cream soda flavors with edible gold glitter for a truly magical drinking experience.
