We associate a number of things with autumn, but pumpkin spice lattes are one of the items ranking highest on my list.
The demand for pumpkin spiced lattes will soon be at an all-time peak as the days grow shorter and cooler.
So, to make life that little bit easier for fellow admirers of the seasonal drink, we have collated a list of the best places to visit for a pumpkin spiced latte in Aberdeen.
Luckily for fans, there’s definitely not a lack of local coffee shops and eateries across the city offering them.
Fat Batch
If you’re yet to hear of or visit Fat Batch on Elmbank Terrace, then you’re missing out big time.
The bakeshop has become a hot spot for foodies and their furry companions in recent months as it offers a selection of tempting (and hefty) treats for humans and pooches alike.
Pop in for their newly-launched pumpkin spice latte when you need your fix. You can also get it as an iced version too!
Address: 57 Elmbank Terrace, Aberdeen AB24 3NL
The Cult of Coffee
The Cult of Coffee is an increasingly popular coffee shop in Rosemount.
Why is it so popular exactly? Because it serves artisan coffee and an incredible selection of cakes, of course.
Their pumpkin spice syrup is homemade and boasts pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger and some other secret spices in it, too.
For those stopping by in the future, we would recommend pairing your pumpkin spice latte with a freshly-made scone. There will likely be a variety of flavours to choose from, so good luck narrowing down your pick.
Address: 28 Esslemont Avenue, Aberdeen AB25 1SN
Figment
For those of you tucking into a pumpkin spice latte at Figment, you can be rest assured knowing it has been made using speciality coffee provided by Figment Coffee Roasters, the firm’s sister company that roasts coffee in the same building.
The eatery offers a choice of espresso, including delicious single origins and wonderful filter coffees which change from week to week.
The team have crafted their own homemade pumpkin spice syrup to make the drinks, and, their bakers have been busy rustling up some delicious seasonal treats, too.

Olive Alexanders
Located in the heart of Aberdeen, Olive Alexanders has fast become a popular venue to venture to for cheese, cured meat, artisan bread, fresh fruit and vegetables.
But it’s important to note that the business offers hot chocolates and coffee, too.
And for the foreseeable future, customers can add pumpkin spice flavouring to their drink for just 25p extra – how great is that? Don’t forget to add the whipped cream and marshmallows!
Address: 8 Golden Square, Aberdeen AB10 1RB
Cup
There’s a line-up of tempting options to choose from at Cup on Little Belmont Street in Aberdeen, whether it be the cafe’s soups, artisan teas, paninis and scones or its cooked breakfasts.
But when paying a visit this autumn, be sure to add a pumpkin spiced latte to your order. You won’t regret it.
There’s also a slated caramel tea latte that is available for all those who don’t drink coffee as much.
Address: 9 Little Belmont Street, Aberdeen AB10 1JG
JoJo’s Coffee Shop
Situated between Union Street and His Majesty’s Theatre, JoJo’s Coffee Shop on Belmont Street offers quality food, a friendly service and a cosy relaxed atmosphere.

Why not tuck into one of their popular afternoon teas while you’re stopping by, too?

The Pier
The Pier, open daily from 8.30am to 5pm, is a superb foodie pit-stop if you’re out for a stroll at Aberdeen’s scenic beachside (whether the sun is shining or not).
Its grub is also available on Deliveroo, so you can enjoy your tasty latte, which comes topped with whipped cream, from the comfort of your home.
Although nothing really beats a crisp autumn walk with a coffee in hand.
