Here's where to get a pumpkin and spice and all things nice latte in the city. Fall comes around, and immediately, you see chestnuts, sweet potatoes and pumpkins take over Japan’s restaurants, cafes and various food and drink chain stores alike. However, when it comes to America’s fall favorite drink, the pumpkin spice latte, it’s surprisingly hard to get your hands on it in Tokyo.
.. Well, other than at your closest Starbucks during the season.
But, for those wanting to try something more unique or local, here are 10 other places in Tokyo to get a cozy hot or chilled pumpkin spice latte this season. Blue Leaf Cafe has taken advantage of the wide variety of seasonal ingredients that autumn in Japan has to offer. Using ingredients like chestnuts and apples, they are offering four special limited-time seasonal drinks: a Marron Nutty Latte, a Chai Apple Smoothie, a Chai Banana Smoothie, and, of course, for this list, a Pumpkin Spice Latte—available iced or hot.
With the weather getting cooler, Menotti’s Coffee Stop Tokyo has brought back its seasonally limited Pumpkin Spice Latte, which will be available until Thanksgiving day (“maybe,”—they say). This quaint cafe is a hidden gem and provides a very relaxing atmosphere in which to enjoy your PSL. Why not try this pumpkin spice latte made with creamy oat milk? It’s available iced or hot and can be enjoyed with American-style cookies served by —a foreigner in Japan-owned business.
Grab one of their various baked.
