PUMPKIN PICKS

Take a look into the spooktacular pumpkin spice world

story by Jameson PeePles

Starbucks

Latte

I tried the pumpkin spice latte and the pumpkin spice muffin with cream cheese frosting from starbucks and this is my brutally honest review. I think the pumpkin spice latte was actually one of the worst pumpkin spiced drinks that i’ve tried. The reason was because they pulled the shot wrong. The coffee was very bitter to the point that it was hard to drink but it would be good if you want it to last the whole day. The other thing that got me about the pumpkin spiced latte was that you couldn’t taste any of the pumpkin flavoring or any nutmeg flavor because the coffee was so overpowering. 1.5/5

Dunkin

Latte

This was one of my favorite pumpkin spiced latte because the coffee was there but it wasn’t super overpowering. The pulled the hot perfectly and it was rich and creamy. The pumpkin flavoring was there and they put nutmeg and cinnamon on top of the whipped cream which gave it a nice little touch. Overall this was a really good pumpkin latte and it wasn’t too expensive. 4/5

Muffin

Now if you want a really good pumpkin spiced muffin please go to starbucks. This was one of the best muffins I’ve ever had in my life. I got mine warmed up and it tastes like it just got out of the oven. The thing that really sold me on this muffin was the cream cheese center because it was creamy and rich but not too rich. It just really went well with the pumpkin spiced muffin and if you like a nice little crunch on your muffin they put pumpkin seeds on top too. 5/5

SCOOTER’S

Latte

This was the absolute best pumpkin latte that I tasted. They actually pulled the shot by hand and not some machine that can’t even pull a good shot of coffee. The coffee stood out in a great way. It was smooth and rich and it was so easy to drink, unlike Starbucks. The coffee was a blend of multiple spices including nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and so much more. This was amazing and it didn’t take long to get my stuff. I will most differently be going back to Scooters to get this again. 5/5

Muffin

The pumpkin and caramel muffin was strange because of the caramel. The muffin was hot but the caramel was as hard as a rock. Honestly I have no idea how you can mess something up so simple. This was one of the worst muffins I’ve ever had. Please save your money and go over to Starbucks or Scooters for a better muffin. This muffin was so bad that if I could give it negative stars I would but I can’t. 0.5/5

Muffin

The muffin was interesting to say the least. It was another caramel and pumpkin muffin. This time the caramel melted on top of the muffin and it was warm and gooey. The biggest downfall of it being warmed up was that it stuck to the bag and I lost a lot of my muffin to the paper bag. That’s fine though. It wasn’t as good as Starbucks but not as bad as Dunkin. Overall the muffin was warm, gooey, and all I wanted from a muffin. 4/5
