Sweet, spicy and full of familiar flavors that inspire a nostalgic walk down memory lane, nothing says fall quite like pumpkin spice. These days, you can find pumpkin in just about anything – from ice cream to lattes. There are plenty of locally-owned Lewis County coffee houses and bakeries where you can get your pumpkin spice fix, from Morton to Pe Ell and everywhere in between.
Ami Rae’s
196 Cowlitz Loop Road, Toledo
Ami Rae’s is a great stop if you’re traveling in the southern part of Lewis County. They have plenty of choices for breakfast, including pumpkin! They have a pumpkin spice latte made with sauce, and a pumpkin pie latte made with syrup, not sauce – why is this important? Because all pumpkin pie sauces contain dairy, meaning a lot of us can’t enjoy them! But Ami Rae’s is dairy-free and they have several non-dairy milks always available (members of the owner’s family are lactose intolerant, so she gets it). You can get their latte hot or iced. The pumpkin pie is a bit sweeter than the pumpkin spice, for those wondering about the taste difference. (They also have peppermint bark in, if you just can’t wait until after Thanksgiving…)
