August is already halfway gone and before you know it fall will be in full swing. I can’t wait, I love fall, it’s my favorite season! The chill in the air, the falling leaves and all the beauty and splendor that autumn brings.
As soon as the weather begins to change I start thinking about sweaters and scarves, Sunday football and sipping coffee. Something about fall makes me crave a hot mug of something festive and flavored. I like to set up our coffee corner so that I can easily make my favorite lattes and fall inspired coffee drinks.
Waking up to a mug of hot coffee on cold mornings gets me excited. A flavored latte that gives you all the autumn feels is pretty much the perfect way to start the day. And I love that with my Keurig I can enjoy a delicious brewed beverage right at home with just the touch of a button. Since coffee is becoming more popular, there are so many different brands and models of coffee machines to choose from. If you’re looking at buying a new machine, take a look at someone like Full Moon Cafe, you can check out their reviews here.
Our favorite coffee to start the day with is The Original Donut Shop® Coffee. We’ve tried a lot of different coffee flavors and we always come back to this one. There’s a reason it’s the #1 selling variety of K-Cup® pods in the U.S, it simply tastes the best.
Setting up your coffee station to make your own tasty, fall flavored drinks is easy. First you’ll want to stock up on of K-Cup® pods. Find a container to store them in or cute way to stack them on a shelf. Keep a few coffee cups close by so you can fill a cup whenever the mood strikes.
The basics are covered, so now you’ll want to add simple ways to flavor your coffee beverages. I keep creamers, whipped cream and syrups in the fridge for adding a dash of fall deliciousness to my drinks. I also fill mini jars with fun sprinkles I can top off my lattes with. Mini marshmallows, chocolate bits, graham cracker crumbs and candy sprinkles make them look and taste a little more special.
Now it’s time to brew a cup and make something fall flavored and fun!

You had me at coffee, then I saw pumpkin spice and fall 🙂 You are hitting on all of my favorite things!
This is such a fun idea for fall. I love it. Might have to try it for myself 🙂
I love your set up.
I love your little shakers for toppings! That is definitely something I won’t have thought of. Your little pumpkin is so adorable!
Fun idea! I usually do something similar starting in September. This made me even more excited to get it done! Thanks for the motivation!
Autumn is my favorite season. I love the look of this awesome set up. Looks very festive!
Fall is my FAVE time of year and coffee is my beverage of choice…so this post has my name ALL over it!! I only wish I had room for a proper coffee bar in my house!!
I didn’t know I could make a pumpkin spice latte with pumpkin pie spice and vanilla. So happy to know the recipe.
This is so cute! I can’t wait for the cooler weather and all the fall flavors. It’s my favorite time of the year!
I am looking forward to fall and all the flavors it brings! This coffee bar is so clever. I love how you set it up!
Totally would go for the Toasted S’mores Latte, yum! Thanks for sharing your recipes, I’ll try to make myself a cup someday.
These are some great recipes! Whilst I’m not a coffee drinker, my husband is and I’m sure he would love these. I love the idea of having a coffee corner!
Wow, this looks too cool. I don’t drink coffee, but we do set up a coffee station in my home for visitors. Love that you make it a theme based on the time of year. Pinning to try.

What a lovely little coffee bar! I am SO ready for all things pumpkin spice latte–fall drinks are my fave!
It definitely makes me more excited for Fall! It’s my fave season and it’s just more awesome with all the little things that remind you of it, including this coffee bar idea!
This is such a cute idea for a little coffee nook. Donut Shop is my fav brand of k-cups too, but we usually get the Dark ones. So good!
What a gorgeous home coffee bar! We’re moving into a new home with quite a bit more kitchen counter space so I’m looking forward to having a pretty coffee display.
Your pumpkin spice latte looks incredibly appetizing. I need to start investing in all of the lil’ extra details that make at-home lattes more like the ‘real deal.’
Where can I find those prints???
These look heavenly! I love fall and warm yummy drinks. Great recipes, thank you for sharing!
We already have a coffee bar set up, but now I definitely need to make it fall themed! I can’t wait to try the pumpkin spice latte.
Yum! I love all your yummy coffee recipes and its just in time for my favorite season too.Love all the decor too!
Pumpkin Spice Latte!! This delicious treat is one of fall favorites!!! Yum!!
I love EVERYTHING about this setup. I totally want a white Keurig now too lol. Great photos!
There is nothing like enjoying a hot cup of coffee on a cool fall day. I would love to enjoy a cup in such a beautiful environment.
Oh man, these will definitely be made in my house. They look so delicious. I love fall coffees! I love all coffee, but I love fall.
