Florida may not have ideal fall weather, but The Blend Coffee & Cocktails is here to satisfy its customers with new treats for the upcoming season.
The Blend, a coffee shop franchise with four St. Petersburg locations, is now serving espresso fall flights consisting of four different flavors, including cold brews with pumpkin cold foam, pumpkin, peach cobbler and caramel pecan — all for $14.
Like many other locals, Katie Swann is a regular at The Blend and begins every day with a cup of coffee before work.
“Being from Indiana, I’m always trying to find little ways to make the season feel like home,” Swann said.
While coffee tasting, Swann said that she typically drinks her coffee black and doesn’t like peaches at all, so when she saw the peach cobbler flavor, she thought she wasn’t going to like it. But oddly enough, it was her favorite, a testament to The Blend’s recipes.
Although this was Swann’s first time trying The Blend’s fall-flavored flights, she already expressed interest in coming back during the upcoming holiday season to try out The Blend’s Christmas coffee flight, including cold brew peppermint, snowball, peppermint bark and gingerbread.
So before the season is over, make sure you go and try one of The Blend’s fall flavors at one of its St. Petersburg locations, all of which are within close proximity to campus.
