Fall flavors are the best flavors, so I am seeking them out whenever I can. Last week I noticed that Cafe Kopi had their fall seasonal drink menu up, so I decided to try one of the festive drinks.
The day I was there was not a very fall-like day. I’d thrown on a sweater only to realize that it was in the mid-70s when I left the house. So, a cozy warm drink was not going to work for me.
I decided to try the iced caramel apple chaider, since it was the afternoon, and I don’t love to do coffee in the afternoon. The chaider is just what it sounds like: apple cider, with chai, and caramel flavoring. It also has milk, which of course you can specify. It is very sweet, so if that is not where you are at take heed, but it hits all of the fall notes that you want it to hit. And, it’s far superior to the apple flavored seasonal drink I tried at a certain coffee chain.
Turns out I’ve sampled the hot version of this drink in the past, and it was a tasty option for a colder day. I’m hoping to return soon to try that cold pressed pumpkin spice!
