The Best Coffee Shops in Fresno and Clovis to Grab a Pumpkin Spice Latte This October

October in Fresno and Clovis means cooler mornings, fall decorations, and one seasonal tradition many coffee lovers look forward to all year: pumpkin spice lattes.

While the Central Valley may not have the crisp autumn weather of other parts of the country, local coffee shops still bring plenty of fall flavor to the season. From classic pumpkin spice lattes to creative maple, chai, and pumpkin pie drinks, there are plenty of reasons to make a coffee run part of your October routine.

Whether you're meeting a friend, exploring Old Town Clovis, or looking for a cozy place to take a break, here are some local coffee stops worth adding to your fall list.

1. Two Cities Coffee Roasters in Old Town Clovis

Best for: Classic pumpkin spice and a fall stroll

Located at 608 Fourth Street in Clovis, Two Cities Coffee Roasters is a great place to start your seasonal coffee adventure. 

The shop's fall lineup has featured a Pumpkin Spice Latte, Pumpkin Chai made with house-made pumpkin sauce, and the Spiced 608, a double shot of espresso with steamed oat milk, fall spices, and panela.

After picking up your drink, take a stroll around Old Town Clovis or enjoy the patio when the weather cooperates. It's an easy way to turn a quick coffee stop into a relaxed fall outing.

2. Collect Coffee Bar in Fresno

Best for: A coffee break near Fresno State

Collect Coffee Bar, located at 3142 E. Campus Pointe Drive, is a convenient stop near Fresno State for students, professionals, and anyone exploring the area.

Its seasonal offerings have included the classic Pumpkin Spice Latte and Pumpkin Chai, along with Sparkling Apple Cider for anyone who wants something a little different.

If you're meeting a friend or taking a break between errands, Campus Pointe makes it easy to pair your drink with a little time around the shops and nearby university area.

3. Origin Coffee in Fresno

Best for: Pumpkin spice with a twist

If you enjoy trying something beyond the traditional fall latte, put Origin Coffee on your list.

Its fall menu has featured a Pumpkin Pie Latte alongside a Salted Maple Cold Brew. The combination gives both hot-drink fans and iced-coffee lovers something seasonal to look forward to.

It's a good reminder that fall coffee doesn't always have to mean pumpkin. Maple, cinnamon, and other warm flavors can deliver that autumn feeling, even when Fresno afternoons are still relatively warm.

4. Monkey Dog Coffee

Best for: Creative seasonal flavors

For coffee drinkers who enjoy experimenting with different flavor combinations, Monkey Dog Coffee has offered several autumn-inspired drinks.

Past seasonal selections highlighted by Visit Fresno County include a Pumpkin Pie Latte, Toasted Marshmallow Mocha, Pistachio Honey Americano, and Autumn's Matcha.

The variety makes it worth checking the current menu if you want to try something beyond the usual pumpkin-and-cinnamon combination.

5. Kingdom Kafé in Fresno

Best for: A colorful fall drink menu

Kingdom Kafé has embraced the season with a lineup that has included Pumpkin Spice, Snickerdoodle, Maple Pecan, and Caramel Apple Chai drinks.

There have also been playful seasonal options such as Green Goblin Matcha and Scarecrow Refresher.

If you enjoy seasonal menus with a little creativity, this is one to check out. Just confirm current availability before making a special trip for a particular drink.

6. The Mug Coffee in Fresno

Best for: A neighborhood coffee stop

The Fresno Coffee Company, listed online as The Mug Coffee, has offered a Pumpkin Spice Latte on its seasonal menu.

Located at 1141 E. Champlain Drive, it is another option for anyone looking to satisfy an October coffee craving without making a trip out of town.

Its menu also includes specialty espresso drinks, making it a useful stop if someone in your group wants pumpkin spice while someone else prefers a different coffee creation.

7. Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Co. in Fresno

Best for: A different take on your fall coffee routine

If you enjoy exploring coffee traditions beyond the familiar American café menu, Qamaria is worth considering.

Its Fresno location has listed both hot and iced Pumpkin Spice Lattes, with options to customize sweetness, milk, espresso shots, and toppings.

That flexibility can be helpful if you prefer a less-sweet drink or want an iced version for a warmer October afternoon. Check the current menu for availability and pricing.

Make a Fall Coffee Date Out of It

One of the best parts of exploring local coffee shops is that the drink is only part of the experience.

You can make a morning of it by grabbing a Pumpkin Spice Latte in Old Town Clovis, walking around the local shops, or meeting a friend for coffee near Fresno State. If you're closer to North Fresno, choose a café near your usual errands and make it a small seasonal treat.

Local coffee shops also make good places to catch up with friends, take a break from work, or enjoy a little time outside the usual routine.
