Fall coffee season is officially here, and if you’re looking for fall drinks in Flowery Branch, Georgia, Lucky Goat Coffee has a seasonal lineup worth adding to your list.
I recently stopped by Lucky Goat Coffee in Flowery Branch to try their new Fall Sips menu, featuring three seasonal drinks plus two fall pastries. And while pumpkin spice obviously made an appearance, I was especially excited to see some flavors that were a little different from your typical fall coffee menu.
The lineup includes a Banana Bread Latte, Spiced Citrus Dirty Chai, and Pumpkin Spice Latte, plus an Apple Pie Danish and Pumpkin Muffin.
Naturally, I had to try them all.
The Banana Bread Latte Was My Favorite
I have been waiting for someone to do the banana bread coffee trend justice, and Lucky Goat absolutely delivered.
The Banana Bread Latte combines banana bread flavor with white chocolate and warm spices. It's sweet, cozy, and actually tastes like the flavor it promises rather than just being vaguely banana-flavored.
This was easily one of my favorites from the new menu.
And here's where it gets even better. A little birdie told me you can order the banana bread flavor as a matcha latte, too. I haven't tried that combination yet, but you better believe I'll be back for it ASAP.
The Spiced Citrus Dirty Chai Was the Biggest Surprise
If you're only planning to try one drink and want something different, don't overlook the Spiced Citrus Dirty Chai.
This was probably the biggest surprise of my taste test.
Lucky Goat takes chai, adds an orange twist with cardamom and cinnamon, and finishes it with a shot of espresso. There is SO much flavor packed into this drink.
My immediate reaction was that it tasted like a fall simmer pot in the best possible way. Think warm spices, citrus, and all of those smells that make your house feel like fall, except in coffee form.
It is truly fall in a cup.
Of Course, There's a Pumpkin Spice Latte
You can't have a fall coffee menu without a classic Pumpkin Spice Latte.
Lucky Goat's version combines pumpkin spice and white chocolate and is finished with a dusting of fall spices.
If you're the person who starts counting down to pumpkin spice season while it's still 90 degrees outside in Georgia, this one's for you.
All three drinks were genuinely a 10/10 for me, but I appreciate that each one gives you something completely different. You can stick with the classic pumpkin spice, go sweeter with banana bread, or try something unexpected with the citrus dirty chai.
Don't Forget the Fall Pastries
Obviously, we needed something to eat with all that coffee.
Lucky Goat's fall lineup also includes an Apple Pie Danish and Pumpkin Muffin, giving you two seasonal pastries to pair with your drink.
The Apple Pie Danish is the kind of pastry that just makes sense next to a warm fall latte, while the Pumpkin Muffin is there for everyone who believes pumpkin belongs in absolutely everything from September onward.
My suggestion? Grab a couple, split them with whoever you're doing your coffee run with, and make your own little fall taste test.
A Fall Coffee Stop in Flowery Branch
One of my favorite things about seasonal menus is having an excuse to revisit local coffee shops, and Lucky Goat's Fall Sips are definitely worth the trip.
If you're around Flowery Branch, Gainesville, Buford, Braselton, or Lake Lanier and searching for a fall coffee spot, this is an easy one to add to your list.
Personally, I'm already planning my next visit for that Banana Bread Matcha.
Until then, I'm still thinking about the Spiced Citrus Dirty Chai.
You can find the Fall Sips at Lucky Goat Coffee's Flowery Branch and Dunwoody locations for a limited time this fall.
