Autumn still lingers in the air, which means it’s time to get festive. When you think about autumn, the items that usually come to mind are pumpkin pies, falling leaves, sweater weather, and what else? Fall drinks! 

Cake Queen is popular for its tasty cakes, pastry, drinks, and coffees. I went there and got a medium-sized, hot horchata latte, decaf, with whipped cream, and I also got another horchata latte but as a cold drink to compare the differences. The drinks were $6 each. 

Trust me, it tastes incredible. It had a mixture of cinnamon, coffee, with whipped cream on top, making it a swirl of flavors all blending together to create the defining taste of autumn. The sweet aroma of cinnamon and spice was astounding.

Personally, I enjoyed the warmer horchata latte over the colder one because the warmer drink suited the weather in SF more, giving warmth and comfort in this windy and freezing area. But the cold latte also had its pros. 

When you take a sip of it, the coolness of the horchata will genuinely refresh you. (Horchatas are meant to be cold anyway.) Overall, I give both drinks a 10 out of 10. They are perfect for this season and will make you think about the beauty of autumn as you keep on drinking the enchanted horchata latte.
