When most people think of seasonal drinks, the Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Starbucks are towards the top of the list. But, there’s another place that takes the fall season, specifically Halloween, more seriously.

    Velvet Robot Coffee Lab opened their brick and mortar location earlier this year at the Indoor City Market in Rockford. Despite the pandemic, they continue to see success at their shop. They even expanded their hours to include Mondays and announced a second location coming in 2021.

    In the spirit of Halloween and the fall season, Velvet Robot has introduced their seasonal drink menu which includes: Butterbeers, apple and pumpkin pie lattes, apple chai-der, bourbon caramel, and much more! You can get them iced or hot upon request.

    I tried the iced butterbeer and pumpkin pie latte with oat milk instead of dairy. The butterbeer is a perfect drink for Harry Potter fans. My favorite was the pumpkin pie latte though. It was similar to a pumpkin spice latte, but with more of a concentrated pumpkin pie taste. If you’re looking to get into the fall spirit or need a coffee to warm you up, head over to Velvet Robot Coffee Lab located at 116 N Madison St in Rockford.
