The change of the season is getting closer and closer, and with it, brisk breezes, vibrant leaves and one of fall’s most sought-after beverages: Pumpkin Spice Lattes. While a certain coffee chain may hold the crown for getting coffee drinkers amped and eager to buy the sweet autumn flavor we all know and love, they're not the only coffee shop ringing in the cooler weather with seasonal sips.
Even better — we have a few incredible coffee shops around where you can decompress, reflect and everything in between this fall, complete with a PSL in hand, of course! Check out some of these places, where both calm and coffee (better yet, pumpkin-flavored coffee) are present — ideal locales to welcome in the new season.

Want to sip with a view? This is your spot! Located in the Tahosa Valley just north of Allenspark, Tahosa Coffee’s wifi-free environment gives you a chance to take a break from the noise of the world and marvel at the beauty of creation. Just down the driveway from the coffee shop sits the breathtaking St. Catherine of Siena Chapel, also known as the Chapel on the Rock at Camp St. Malo. Nestled near Longs Peak, this historic chapel is a renowned spot for prayer, peace and reflection in the mountains. Who wouldn’t want to marvel at the change in the autumn colors while enjoying the warm tastes of the season?
