San Diego – Spill the Beans is excited to announce the launch of its new autumn drink menu, available starting Monday, September 1, across all five of its locations in San Diego. This seasonal menu is designed to highlight classic fall flavors with innovative twists that cater to diverse neighborhoods and demographics throughout the city.
The new lineup prominently features traditional autumn flavors such as pumpkin and maple, which are central to the offerings. One of the standout beverages is the “Basic Witch,” a creative concoction that includes pumpkin pie sauce, caramel drizzle, homemade vanilla syrup, espresso, and milk. Customers can choose to have this drink served hot or iced, with the option to upgrade to a Pumpkin Pie Cold Foam for an additional creamy texture.
In addition to the “Basic Witch,” the menu introduces the “Maple Blondie,” which marries white chocolate with brown sugar syrup and maple spice, all blended with fresh espresso and milk. The “Pumpkin Pie Cold Brew” is also featured, catering to those who prefer a less sweet option by combining cold brew coffee with homemade vanilla syrup and topped with Pumpkin Pie Cold Foam.
Spill the Beans is also offering seasonal cold foams—Pumpkin and Maple Spice—as add-ons for any drink, allowing customers to customize their regular orders. The branding of “Extra Dope” for cold foam upgrades emphasizes the shop’s commitment to providing a premium service while maintaining a friendly, casual atmosphere.
Spill the Beans operates locations in the Gaslamp Quarter, Seaport Village, Mission Valley, Pacific Beach, and Ocean Beach. The introduction of the fall menu reflects the coffee shop’s focus on catering to a broad range of local tastes while providing quality beverages made from high-quality ingredients.
The recent expansion of Spill the Beans included the opening of its fifth location, a drive-thru in Ocean Beach, established after three and a half years of development. This site is designed to enhance the customer experience, featuring a drive-thru, a convenient pick-up area, a walk-up window, and a patio that can seat 50 guests. The coffee shop’s design aims to facilitate community connections by providing a welcoming space for locals to gather.
Despite the challenges faced during the expansion process, the management at Spill the Beans remains optimistic about serving the Ocean Beach community. The establishment prioritizes quality coffee and a fast-casual experience, promoting a friendly approach in which baristas engage with customers directly at their cars.
Since its inception, Spill the Beans has evolved from a single location into a growing chain, continually focusing on delivering an exceptional experience to its customers. Business practices emphasize creating a local, family-friendly atmosphere with services that foster a connection within the community.
With the new autumn drink menu set to launch, Spill the Beans is ready to welcome patrons looking for seasonal flavors in a cozy, inviting environment.
