Delicious Pumpkin
White Rock Coffee’s pumpkin syrup recipe may be a secret, but its flavors certainly are not. The shop boasts an array of seasonal pumpkin-flavored items. The customer favorite by far is the pumpkin latte, says co-owner Nancy Baker. Then there’s the scone, cheesecake, muffin, bread, cappuccino and chai — all pumpkin flavored. “The fall is such great coffee weather, and people like to come together with coffee,” Baker says. Baker and her husband, Bob, decided to open the shop in 2005 after two years of preparation. “My husband and I have been entrepreneurs all our lives. We said next time we do something, we’re going to do something together,” Baker says. They have written every recipe on the menu, including the one for pumpkin syrup. But how do the Bakers resist eating all their tasty treats all the time? Maybe they don’t. “You just buy bigger clothes,” Nancy Baker says. —Lauri Valerio
