You can't see pumpkin spice, you smell it. There's a moment on the first properly cold Groningen morning when cinnamon and vanilla meet warm pumpkin in the kitchen and the whole shop smells like autumn (usually a few days before you start smelling the Suikerbietenfabriek). Into the blender go real pumpkin, banana, cinnamon, warm spices and vanilla, and that smell ends up in the cup too.

The creamy base is what makes it. Greek yoghurt, coconut milk and oatmeal turn spiced pumpkin into something thick and cosy, closer to pie filling you can drink than juice. No syrups, no powders, no funny business.

It says "seasonal" on the menu, but honestly we keep it all year. Order it on a grey morning and it does what the Groningen sky refuses to. We blend it the moment your order comes in, so it arrives cold, spiced and ready.
