Places other than Starbucks to get Pumpkin Spice Latte in Virginia

The first Pumpkin Spice Latte was made at the Liquid Lab at Starbucks’ Seattle headquarters in 2003. The seasonal drink contains espresso and steamed milk flavored with pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. It is topped with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice. The drink is available hot, iced, or blended.

Even though the Pumpkin Spice Latte is Starbucks' most popular seasonal drink, with worldwide sales of around 424 million, you don't have to go to Starbucks to get it. There are plenty of other places across Virginia that offer the seasonal drink.
