What the heck is pumpkin spice anyway?
As the air turns crisp and leaves start to color, we at Smoking Gun Coffee are excited to bring back the autumnal classic you’ve been waiting for in our Chilliwack coffee shop: our in-house Pumpkin Spice. Whether you're a longtime lover of fall flavors or a curious newcomer, we’re here to welcome you to the season with a fresh perspective on this popular blend.
What Really Goes into Pumpkin Spice?
You might have noticed that Pumpkin Spice can vary from coffee shop to coffee shop, and there's a reason for that! While some cafes use syrups with artificial flavors, here at Smoking Gun Coffee, we take a different approach. We believe in giving our customers the best, which is why we craft our pumpkin spice blend in-house using real ingredients.
Our version of Pumpkin Spice is made with pumpkin puree – yes, the real thing – to bring you a depth of flavor and natural sweetness that captures the essence of fall. Paired with a warm mix of spices, including cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of clove, our Pumpkin Spice offers a balance that feels homemade, cozy, and absolutely satisfying.
Why Real Pumpkin Makes a Difference
Using real pumpkin puree isn’t just about staying true to the flavor; it’s about offering you a wholesome experience. Pumpkin puree adds a rich, creamy texture and a hint of earthiness that you can’t replicate with artificial syrups. Plus, pumpkin is a fantastic source of fiber and antioxidants, so you’re not just indulging in something delicious – you’re enjoying a drink with a bit of goodness packed in. We won't try to make and ridiculous health claims, but if nothing else the flavour is just downright better!
Our Spice Blend: The Perfect Warm Hug
When you take a sip of our Pumpkin Spice, you’re greeted by the warmth of cinnamon and nutmeg, with a hint of clove that lingers in the background. We blend these spices ourselves to create the right balance of heat and sweetness without overpowering the pumpkin. The result is a cozy, well-rounded flavor that’s warm but never too sweet, making it the perfect companion for any autumn day. Having pumpkin spice available at our Chilliwack cafe is a must if you're familiar with Chilliwack. There are so many great hikes and walks along the river under the fall leaves that are made SO MUCH better with a hot PSL in hand.
How to Enjoy Our Pumpkin Spice
While we’re thrilled to serve up Pumpkin Spice lattes, this blend also pairs wonderfully with our other seasonal drinks. Try it in a chai for a spiced twist on a classic favorite, or try it iced for a refreshing option. We can also add it to any espresso drink from flat whites to cortados. Our baristas are here to help you find the perfect way to enjoy your Pumpkin Spice, whether you’re after a comforting hot drink or a chilled pick-me-up.
