The idea of a pumpkin latte SEEMS so cozy and delicious to me, because I love both coffee and the fall season. “Seems” is the keyword, though. I hate Starbucks coffee, but I gave in to the hype and bought a pumpkin latte once. The thing was so sickeningly, syrupy sweet I almost gagged, and ended up pouring it out. I bet the calorie and carb count of the thing rivals that of a couple of huge slices of cake with frosting.

Try one at Caribou coffee instead (extra bonus - you can use the words small medium and large instead of Starbucks speak).

The coffee is better and I don’t remember it being cloyingly sweet.

You got me curious. 16oz. is 310 calories and 49 grams of carbs. More carbs than I eat in most meals.
