8. Farm Cup Coffee (West Hollywood)

Address: 7748 Santa Monica Blvd., West Hollywood, CA 90046

Locals began to notice the Farm Cup Coffee brand when the owners drove a bright yellow coffee truck around LA. Within a year, it was successful enough to plant roots in West Hollywood and open a venue that offers one of the most delicious pumpkin spice lattes in LA.

The blend is called The Harvester because it uses so many seasonal spices to create a pumpkin spice coffee you can’t find anywhere else. Ginger, allspice, cloves, nutmeg, and vanilla make the flavor you’re craving, while Japanese pumpkin, known as kabocha squash, beats your expectations. The brown sugar combines the flavors into a one-of-a-kind treat for morning commutes.

Pumpkin spice latte enthusiasts can stop by from 7 AM to 3 PM daily.
