Saxbys
Saxbys, located in the Smeal College of Business Building on the east side of campus, has a variety of fall and winter drinks. Some of their “cozy favorites” include dark chocolate peppermint mocha sprinkled with crushed candy canes and a pumpkin latte if you are still in the mood for fall! They also have more options that you can check out here.
You can visit Saxbys at Penn State Smeal College of Business, 210 Business Building.
Starbucks
We of course had to include Starbucks because who doesn’t get excited for their holiday drinks to come out? The many locations on and off campus offer many coffee and tea options. One of the fan favorites has been the sugar cookie almond milk latte. It is a perfect treat for people who have a sweet tooth! If you are more of a savory coffee person, try the Irish cream cold brew. If you want to see their whole menu, check out the mobile app or click here!
You can visit Starbucks in the HUB or Paterno Library, along with downtown locations at 232 W. College Ave. and 141 S. Garner St.
