First, a disclaimer: did you know there is actually no pumpkin in a pumpkin spice latté? Rather, the concoction is purely a spice mixture - cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves - that is commonly associated with pumpkin dishes.

It’s a distinctly poetic betrayal, but read on regardless to discover where the best pumpkin spice latté is located in downtown Fredericton.
