Kennedy Coffee in Fall

First, let’s talk about how Kennedy Coffee has gone all-in for the fall. Right away, guests are greeted by real pumpkins sitting at the door! Their tables, check-out counter, and all-around vibes keep this theme strong with scarecrows, decorative hay, and, of course, more pumpkins.

This season, they even released a limited collection of fall merch. Patrons could take home a piece of their fall aesthetic and enjoy it all year round. Supplies were limited for the fall season, but fingers crossed for a new merch line-up next fall!

Now, let’s look at what we’re all here for, the menu. I’ll admit that I’m not much of a pumpkin spice guy, but I love how Kennedy Coffee takes this fall classic to a whole new level. With real pumpkin pie filling, their pumpkin spice latte is truly pumpkin pie in a cup.

If their pumpkin spice latte doesn’t win you over, there’s surely a fall drink you’ll enjoy at this coffee shop. Other incredible fall items include:

Banana Bread Latte

Who can resist the mouthwatering smell and taste of fresh-baked banana bread? Kennedy Coffee serves this classic comfort food in a cup with seasonal banana bread latte. The drink’s ingredients are espresso, spiced chai tea, and banana flavor.

Maple Mittens

Anyone with a sweet tooth will love tasting caramel and maple syrup with every sip. Maple Mittens includes espresso, caramel, and maple spice flavor. I love how this drink represents the colorful fall leaves that beautify fall while tasting like candy in a cup.

You can ask for half syrup if you love maple but don’t want your drink to be too sweet.

Applejack Tea Latte

If you’re not a coffee person, Kennedy Coffee has you covered. Their Applejack Tea Latte is made with spiced apple cider rooibos tea, oat milk, and syrup. The taste of apple cider screams fall, and this beverage embraces it.

Rooibos tea is caffeine-free. So, you can enjoy this warm fall beverage even if you’re watching your caffeine intake.

Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate

For fans of pumpkin spice that aren’t fans of coffee, Kennedy Coffee serves Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate in the fall. This drink is a unique twist on the classic pumpkin spice latte that combines fall vibes and cozy nostalgia. Perfect for kids and kids at heart!

Kennedy Coffee in Winter

When fall becomes winter, Kennedy Coffee keeps up with the changing seasons. They fill their shop with holiday cheer using mini pine trees, Santa ornaments, and a winter drink menu. Patrons can escape the cold or embrace the snow with specialty hot and iced winter beverages.

Just like in the fall, Kennedy Coffee features a holiday merch line-up. Discount bundles with 12 ounces (340 grams) coffee beans were also available for last-minute Christmas shoppers. I’m looking forward to seeing what they’ll have in store next year!

Now, let’s look at what they’re serving in winter.

Peppermint Mocha

Every coffee shop needs this winter classic on the holiday menu. Kennedy Coffee adds the right amount of peppermint syrup to their house mocha for a refreshing chocolate-mint flavor. Perfect for fans of coffee, hot chocolate, and candy canes.

Snowflake Latte

However you feel about snow on the ground, I’m sure you’ll enjoy how Kennedy Coffee puts snow in a cup. The Snowflake is an iced latte that combines the flavors of white chocolate and frosted mint. This refreshing treat won’t warm you up, but it will help you get into the spirit of the season.

The Grinch

The Grinch is another iced beverage with frosted mint. It gets its name and green color from its main ingredient: matcha. Matcha is one of Kennedy’s year-round specialties, so I’m glad they’ve found a creative way to give it a holiday twist!

Praline Dream

The butter pecan flavor of pralines brings back holiday memories. This smooth taste pairs well with white chocolate, and Kennedy Coffee puts them together in this delicious drink. Patrons can enjoy these flavors as a comforting warm, or refreshing iced drink.

Creme Brulee

Creme Brulee is one of the most well-known French desserts, but it didn’t take off in America until around the 1980s. Nevertheless, it’s established itself as a holiday tradition here and overseas. Kennedy Coffee mimics its iconic taste with caramel and toasted marshmallow flavors. Patrons are welcome to enjoy this drink, hot or cold.

Raspberry Truffle

People love to give and receive a box of truffles as a Christmas gift. Fans of white chocolate are sure to love this holiday drink with swirls of white chocolate and raspberry. Like their other two dessert-themed holiday drinks, this raspberry truffle is enjoyable hot or cold.

Also, I have a 3-day itinerary that can help you decide what activities to do if you’re overwhelmed by everything Northwest Arkansas has to offer.
