No hate toward hot apple cider & pumpkin spice lattes, but we really love it when local businesses get creative with their autumnal menu offerings.

Luna La Mer’s seasonal menu features an unbelievable Fig & Honey Focaccia (pictured above). Hungry Ghost’s fall menu includes a delicious Honey Vanilla Cinnamon Latte. Beanmonger’s Tahini Maple Mocha are what fall dreams are made of, and if you’re feeling spooky, try No Filter Coffee’s Dracula’s Kiss Mocha. Still craving the classics? Mockingbird Zero-Proof Cocktail Bar is serving a house-made spiced cider made with New York State apples.

3) Cozy up by the fireplace
