The arrival of fall marks the return of a classic favorite: the pumpkin spice latte.
This comforting blend of pumpkin purée, warm spices like cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, all mixed into a creamy latte, has become, whether we like it or not, a true tradition. Whether you’re a long-time fan or discovering this iconic drink for the first time, this beverage will surely remind you of the simple joys of autumn: crunchy leaves underfoot, forest walks, and cozy evenings.

Cadence Café

In the heart of Chinatown, Cadence Café extends the world of Fleurs et Cadeaux with its Japanese teas and house-made pastries. For fall, kabocha squash, a staple of Japanese cuisine that is also grown in Quebec, finds its way into the cups. It comes as a coffee latte, a matcha latte or a hojicha latte, served hot or iced: a lovely Japanese interpretation of the seasonal classic.
