Time for Fantastic Fall Sips in Arvada
All PSL jokes aside; there is something magical about a piping hot beverage laced with warm seasonal spices enjoyed on a crisp fall day. And Arvada just so happens to be home to some of the coziest beverages, perfect for the changing season! Now, if we can just get this beautiful Colorado weather to cooperate with the calendar and give us some crisp fall temps!
Yes, there are some pumpkin spice beverages to consider, but don’t let that turn you off to autumn beverages. There's a lot more to it; you won't want to miss these spots that offer the best in comfy fall sips.
La Dolce Vita
La Dolce Vita | 5756 Olde Wads
Not every delicious coffee spot can say they serve "award-winning" beverages, but LDV can! Their Hot Apple Cider won "Best Non-Alcoholic Cider" in Olde Town's Cider and Egg Nog Competition last year, and it is definitely worth a try! If you're feeling extra autumn-y, ask for a little cranberry in it.
And, rather than a set seasonal menu, they offer regular and sugar-free syrups to dress up your usual. LDV is also a quaint, cozy spot for live music and yummy sandwiches!
Black Rock Coffee | 7630 W. 80th
This relatively new kid on the block is hitting the ground running with three seasonal sensations.
Their fall favorite, Pumpkin Blondie, is made with medium espresso, white mocha and just a hint of pumpkin spice. It's definitely not your mom's PSL.
The Pumpkin Mexican Mocha includes their signature espresso with spiced mocha, and subtle hints of almond, cinnamon, vanilla and pumpkin.
Just in time for spooky season, it's the wickedly refreshing Witch’s Brew Fuel, with crisp green apple, cold foam and a sour kick. Score one for those who don't care for orange in their beverages!
Jack’s | 8565 Five Parks Drive
Another Arvada staple that serves up some of the finest coffee concoctions, and their seasonal offerings do not disappoint. If you're not a PSL person, try the Maple Pecan Latte for a nutty little treat. Also, as the name suggests, Jack's makes the chai for their Pumpkin Housemade Chai, and it is a perfect sip for a cool fall day.
Bluegrass Coffee
Bluegrass | 7415 Grandview
You can count on Bluegrass for not only delicious coffee but "exquisite bourbon," too. This fall, they've amped up their menu with Pumpkin Pie Latte, Salted Pistachio Latte, Apple Crisp Cold Brew and a Pumpkin Spiced Chai.
If you're more of a cocktail lover, don't miss their robust seasonal cocktail menu and their most popular fall cocktail: the Hot Buttered Rum, made with spiced brown sugar, apple cider and more fall flavors.
PRO TIP: If you're thinking 'espresso martini,' don't miss the Toasted Marshmallow Espresso Martini!
Red Silo Coffee Roasters
Red Silo Coffee Roasters | 6590 Holman St.
In West Arvada, you'll find the cozy and delicious Red Silo. This two-story location serves yummy coffee, tea, snacks and ice cream to keep you full and caffeinated. And Red Silo is the ideal spot to settle in for a meeting, get some work done, or unplug and catch up on your favorite podcast. Don't miss the cozy second floor and the free

This fall, get obsessed with their Blackberry Mint Espresso Tonic. Just in time for the fall harvest of blackberries and garden mint, this delicious drink combines the exquisite taste of espresso, the crispness of tonic with blackberries and just a touch of mint. Amazingly refreshing!
Breadwinners | 7311 Grandview Ave
While you’re enjoying breakfast or lunch in this quaint Olde Town Arvada café, don’t skimp on the fall bevvys! The Caramel Apple Latte is perfect for a brisk fall day. Save the Gingerbread Latte for when the holiday merry-making starts. If you’re feeling cocktail-ish, try the Butterball shot. There’s no turkey in it but Irish Cream with Butterscotch Schnapps sure does feel like fall!
Snooze Arvada
Snooze Arvada | 7240 W. 56th
You probably don’t think of Snooze as a fall beverage spot, but their new fall menu will change your mind. Look for notes of fall in sweet and savory breakfast items and in their caffeinated options! And, while no one would ever call Snooze basic, we’re happy to see you can get a good, old fashioned Pumpkin Latte and a Pumpkin Martini here. And if you’re on a full-blown pumpkin kick, pair either of these with the Pumpkin Pecan Pie Pancakes for the ultimate fall breakfast treat.
