Autumn ‘26 Menu
Autumn is BACK!
Ok, it comes back every year, but that doesn’t mean we get any less excited about it! Around this time of year, there is always something in the air that makes us feel so nostalgic. It reminds us of years past, when we visited the fall festival, ventured on the first field trip of the school year, carved pumpkins & roasted the seeds (ok we still do this), and got way too excited for Johnny Appleseed Day! Life looks a little different these days, and it may be 90 degrees in the Lowcountry as I write this, but that doesn’t mean we can’t step back into those wonderful fall memories and crunchy-leaf vibes. Our favorite way to do this is through coffee, of course!
This year, we’ve brought back two favorites and added a new creation to the lineup. I honestly started getting a little crazy when brainstorming the fall specials. Katie thankfully reeled me back in (my test runs in the “flavor lab” were… unique) and reminded me that sometimes you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes, all you need is a familiar and comforting latte that feels like home on a cloudy autumn day. It’s my hope that we craft that for you this season!
ok slay!!!
Pumpkin Spice Latte
She’s back!! The PSL is the definition of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” I had originally left this off the fall menu and was swiftly encouraged to add it back. Just like last year, our PSL features our house-made organic pumpkin syrup and is best enjoyed while carving pumpkins and watching Halloweentown.
“pretend to cheers or something!”
Maple Cardamom Latte
I’m so happy with how this one turned out! If you’ve stopped by the coffee cart, you probably have heard me say that I always try to include one offering that is a little different. Even though cardamom is nothing new, I had never made the syrup from scratch before (or even cracked open a cardamom pod before this)! This was originally just a cardamom latte, which was fun, but it needed a little something more. Katie tried it with organic, dark maple syrup and knew instantly that this was the one! It’s sweet, autumnal, and warm! Best enjoyed while walking through crunchy, colorful leaves.
cool guy!
Pumpkin Chai
Another favorite that is making its return from last year! Chai spices seem to really lend themselves to Fall already, so all we’ve done here is add a light touch of pumpkin syrup to our chai latte. Just like our regular chai, this can be enjoyed hot or iced, but the pumpkin chai seems to really shine as a hot/steamed latte! It’s honestly giving “pumpkin spice” more than the PSL. Best enjoyed while watching Gilmore Girls and waiting for pumpkin bread to finish baking.
Those are the Fall 2026 specials from The Loyal Cup! We always have so much fun switching up the menu, and we would love to serve you one (or all) of these sometime this season. Keep an eye out for our pop-ups, and if you have an event coming up where you’d like to include our coffee bar, reach out!
Yours loyally,
Michael, Katie, & special guest Gabi
