Yes, we have speculated whether this 20 year old trend is slowly dying, perhaps evident by the fact there aren’t more cafés whipping up pumpkin spice and everything nice on this list, but basic as it may be, it’s a celebration of autumn in my eyes, and I can’t help but love it.
If you’re the same, and wondering which independent Dublin cafés are serving up some elite, autumnal, pumpkin spice drinks, then we’ve got you covered.

What was once a café that would be easily missed, tucked in on the way to the Balally Luas stop, Grindstone now have three locations across the city, all serving up a stunning PSL. Arguably one of the best that you will find in Dublin.
Grindstone opens Monday to Friday from 7:30am to 6pm, and over weekends and bank holidays from 9am to 6pm.

Okay, so we know this isn't your typical latter, but the country's very first matcha destination always meets the mark when it comes to that perfect green colour, and now, the girls at The Matcha Bar are giving us full autumnal flavours with their spiced pumpkin matcha.
The Matcha Bar opens daily from 10am.

If you’re looking to have a PSL in one of Dublin’s most aesthetic cafés, then you’re in luck. Copper and Straw are mixing up the pumpkin spice latte, making their syrup in-house from real pumpkins and a blend of spices including cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg and allspice.
They also add some condensed milk to give it a creamy texture, serving the coffee with a double shot of espresso and a garnishing of cinnamon.
Copper and Straw has two Dublin locations and one in Bray.

If you’re looking to have as autumnal as a PSL, but not quite a fan of the trendy flavour, then maybe a BBL (banana bread latte) from Spiltmilk/Roots is the one for you.
The banana bread syrup strikes a perfect balance between sweet and savory, caramelised to perfection; it's definitely not one to miss.
You can nab the creation at Spiltmilk's and Roots shared location on Drury Street, or at Roots truck in Monkstown.

If you have a Lotts & Co near you, and you live for this time of year and its signature coffee order, then you’re in luck, because all three of the Lotts & Co premises are serving up whipped cream topped lattes, with a crumbling of what appears to be biscoff to just add to the experience.
There are three Lotts & Co cafés in Dublin; in Terenure, Beggars Bush, and Clontarf.

Keeping up with tradition of the last couple of years, Grounded are back with their PSL to match the crisp autumn air, and it’s one of the best you will get from an independent café.

Another pet friendly spot for a PSL (although we recommend getting your dog a puppuccino and not sharing your latte with them) is Brindle Coffee a cafe on Lennox Street, and around the corner in their smaller shop on Charlemont Street. They also open relatively late in comparison to other Dublin cafés, if you’re pumpkin spice latte craving kicks in post office hours.
Brindle Coffee opens Monday to Wednesday 7:30am to 8pm, Thursday to Sayurday 7:30am to 9pm, Sunday 8am to 8pm.
