Coffee shops are ushering in spring with a fresh batch of seasonal flavors. From berries and citrus to dessert-inspired drinks, these cafés offer inventive drinks that go beyond your standard latte.
Basecamp Coffee Roasters
Basecamp Coffee Roasters brings a mix of refreshing and indulgent drinks to its spring menu. The Strawberry Coconut Blossom blends black tea, coconut milk, and strawberry syrup with a hint of rose. An oat milk rose matcha continues the floral trend, while the Blackberry Honey Espresso Fizz offers a bubbly, lightly sweet option with tonic or soda water. For those craving something richer, a crème brûlée–inspired latte is topped with torched caramelized sugar. 8461-D Leesburg Pk., Tysons Corner
Commonwealth Joe
Commonwealth Joe’s seasonal lineup is all about fruit- and tea-infused combinations. The Berry Blossom Latte and cherry white mocha bring a soft and subtle sweetness to classic drinks. Matcha takes center stage with flavors like strawberries and cream, Earl Grey, and peach cobbler. The French vanilla lavender cold foam is a fun, floral add-on to any iced coffee. 520 12th St. S., Ste. 150, Arlington
Hypergoat Coffee Roasters
Hypergoat Coffee Roasters’ spring menu, created by baristas and voted on by patrons, leans into nuanced, aromatic flavors. The Rose Cardy Latte combines housemade rose-cardamom syrup with crushed rose petals, ground cardamom, and sparkling sugar. The Bluebell Soda offers a refreshing alternative with iced espresso, jasmine silver tip tea, blackberry, mango, and coconut flakes. For a more classic twist, the Sweet Little Treat is a traditional macchiato with housemade Earl Grey lavender syrup. 215 N. Payne St., Alexandria
Loud’n Roasted
Loud’n Roasted’s spring drinks balance comfort and brightness. The banana bread–flavored latte and matcha give soft, familiar flavors, while the pistachio raspberry latte offers tartness.
