Yum… (Take it Easy Roasters)

It’s Pumpkin Spice Latte season. Skip the big chains and artificial ingredients for fresher flavors at some of the best local coffee shops in Vegas.

☕ Whether in Henderson, Summerlin, or the Arts District, Makers & Finders uses a vegan pumpkin spice sauce that’s made fresh weekly with organic pumpkin puree, coconut milk, maple syrup, granulated sugar, pumpkin spice seasoning, sea salt, and vanilla. Ask about alternative milks to make the latte completely vegan — or load up on whipped cream if you’re not worried about dairy.

☕ Sister concept Take It Easy Roasters in Chinatown uses the same PSL sauce but with the option of a chantilly rim with grated nutmeg.

☕ Urth Caffé uses heirloom coffee beans for a smoother, lower-acid taste. Try ‘em in the Pumpkin Pie Latte, made with real pumpkin puree folded into milk with crumbles of pie crust sprinkled on top. Ask for a slice of pumpkin pie on the side — so good, it’s served year-round. Urth Caffé has locations at UnCommons, the Wynn, and The District at Green Valley Ranch.

☕ Vesta blends its own pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and spices together for an in-house syrup. The latte, made with house-roasted beans, is less sweet than you might expect, but thicker in texture. Try it with locally made almond milk in the Arts District, near Summerlin, or at one of two counters at Durango.

☕ Longtime local favorite Grouchy John’s serves up a house-made PSL that uses real pumpkin every fall, and you can opt for hot, iced, or blended versions. Pay a visit in the south end of the valley, Centennial Hills, or wherever their food truck makes an appearance.

☕ Southern California’s Better Buzz Coffee debuted in Nevada last year and already has locations in Henderson, Sunrise Manor, and North Las Vegas. You’ve got three choices for seasonal pumpkin yumminess. The latte uses a spiced and sweetened organic pumpkin puree sauce with two shots of espresso and steamed milk (or served over ice) with cinnamon sugar on top. The same puree is also used in a Pumpkin Spice Chai, blended with vanilla chai and a cinnamon-nutmeg topping. The Pumpkin Cold Brew has a spiced brown sugar flavor with pumpkin-vanilla foam and cinnamon sugar.

🪤 The mouse is in the house 👀

For once, the sight of Mickey Mouse in front of the Bellagio will be legit 👍 Disney characters are on tap to lead a performance by the fountains during F1 week with music and pyrotechnics.

If it goes well, maybe Vegas will score our own Disney park in the future 🤔
