It's the little things during the day that can be the most uplifting, like wrapping your cold hands around a steaming cup on a crisp Autumn day.
So whether you're heading to a lecture, going on a lunchtime walk or sitting down to study, our cafés have got a line-up of hot drinks to keep you cosy.
Hot Chocolate
We're starting off strong with our most indulgent pick, the classic hot chocolate. Rich, creamy and perfect with a swirl of cream on top, you're truly accepting that Summer is over when this drink comes out.
Explore our range of hot chocs with an autumnal twist too:
- Cherry Pie Hot Chocolate - available at Beveridge Café
- Hazelnut Hot Chocolate - served with cream and marshmallows at Plaza Café
Latte's at Shaw Cafe...
- Orange latte - a blend of coffee, orange and cinnamon to match the autumnal vibe.
- Gingerbread latte – a classic to start getting you in the Christmassy mood early!
- Pumpkin spiced latte – a delicious mix of sweet and spiced flavours, this is a warm hug in a cup that everyone knows is coming and looks forward to during spooky season.
- Lavender latte - Indulge in pure relaxation with our lavender syrup and lavender flowers.
- Toasted marshmallow latte - a classic coffee paired with marshmallow syrup to get you in the bonfire mood.
Tiramisu Latte
A blend of rich espresso and velvety milk with the luxurious flavours of cream and cocoa. Topped with a thick layer of whipped cold foam and a dusting of cocoa powder, it's the ultimate Autumn pick-me-up. Head to Plaza Cafe to get yours today!
Matcha Latte
If you haven't had one yet, a matcha latte is definitely worth a try (especially if you're looking for something a little less sweet). Made with finely ground tea leaves, it has a unique, smooth and earthy flavour that's comforting and refreshing.
Head to:
- Plaza Café: Gingerbread matcha latte
- Beveridge: Blueberry muffin matcha (oat milk)
Mumbai Chai
Looking for a non-caffeinated drink to keep you cosy? This is a great option! Infused with warming spices, frothy milk and a hint of sweetness, this is Autumn in a cup.
As usual, we also have a range of classic teas and coffees that are just as nice to warm your hands on.
Don't forget about out Early Bird offer too, where you can grab an americano, espresso or tea with a croissant or piece of fruit for just £1.80!
From indulgent hot chocolates to fragrant, refreshing teas, there's a hot drink to suit every mood and timetable. Pop by one of our cafés to grab yours (and an LSE KeepCup to enjoy it in!).
