With fall just around the corner, Islanders are eagerly anticipating their favourite fall flavour: pumpkin spice. Whether it’s a latte or a dessert, here’s the dirt on where PSL lovers can get their fix.

Hive and Hollow

📌 119 Grafton St, Charlottetown, PE

The social lounge and board game bar has been creating what they like to call “Crazy Shakes.” These creamy confections feature a dessert on top of a traditional milkshake (although, sometimes there’s a little extra in the shake). If that’s not reason enough to go and try one, pumpkin spice lovers with a sweet tooth will be thrilled to know that Hive and Hollow recently created a Pumpkin Spice Latte Crazy Shake. This shake features a slice of carrot cake on top, because who doesn’t love combining fall flavours. This Crazy Shake is available starting August 29th.

Open 4PM-11PM Monday-Friday, 12PM-12AM Saturday, and closed on Sunday.For more information, visit hiveandhollow.ca.
