Pumpkin spice has taken over the grocery store, and my boyfriend loves every part of it. So we were excited to find this vegan pumpkin spice latte flavored ice coffee. Even better that it is from Califia Farms, which has become our go to brand for vegan premade iced coffee.
A cool thing about this product is it is has real pumpkin in it. Pumpkin is different from pumpkin pie spice (a mix of spices including cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove). Usually products that say "pumpkin spice" only have the spices and not actual pumpkin. Even though this is labeled pumpkin spice, it has both pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spices.
Review: Califia Farms Iced Coffee - Pumpkin Spice Latte
First impressions: "Mmm, very cinnamony."
Taste: Strong pumpkin flavor, but hard to taste the coffee. This is a common problem with these premade iced coffees.
Texture: Thick and creamy like the other almond milk iced coffees.
Can you tell it's vegan? No, it could pass for a non-vegan premade iced coffee. The pumpkin covers up any aftertaste that would give it away.
Better than other vegan versions? This is the only pumpkin flavor we've tried so it's hard to say. Compared to all of the iced coffees our favorite was the Califia Farms Double Espresso.
Worth buying again? Probably not, maybe if I was really craving pumpkin.
Overall: 3.5 out of 5
