8 East End Locations for Autumn-Flavored Coffee
It’s not truly fall yet until you’re driving to work with a cup of seasonally flavored coffee – usually a pumpkin spice lattè from Dunkin’ Donuts or Starbucks.
But, in addition to America’s two favorite coffee chains, these East End locations offer a variety of flavors, some having more than just pumpkin spice, to energize you full of fall spirit – or you can get decaf, if the taste is all you care about.
