The Pacific Northwest coffee culture runs deep in Bellevue. This fall, local cafes are serving up a delightful mix of seasonal flavors that offer a cozy twist with and without the typical pumpkin base. I'm talking about Cheesecake, eggnog, and those delicious fresh-baked treats in the pastry display. Here’s where to find the best autumn-inspired brews and coffeeshop bites in Bellevue - gourmet, hand-crafted with love, and made by your local barista.

Eggnog and Pumpkin Spice at Mercury Coffee Co.

Coming in hot (or iced), Mercury Coffee Co. is bringing out the eggnog and pumpkin spice as the perfect fall latte duo. There's also a pumpkin cream cold brew and the new fall menu features a Pumpkin Muffin with a sweet creamy top, gluten-free Honeycrisp Apple & Streusel Muffins, and gluten-free pumpkin madeleines. Be sure to stop by the location next to their headquarters, where you'll be able to see all the baking and artisanal coffee beans processing in action!
