Recipe: Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew Cocktail

Fall is in the air, we’ve pulled out our best lace up boots for stepping on crunchy leaves. What better way to welcome an early with fall afternoon with one of the biggest food and beverage trends, a boozy pumpkin cream cold brew?

How to make the perfect cold brew
The simple secret to perfect cold brew is freshly ground beans and filtered water, left to steep overnight. For best results, use a 1:8 ratio (so 8 grams of water for every gram of coffee). This will create a slow infusion without any bitterness.

How to make pumpkin cream:
This is the special touch that makes your recipe special, ready to top off with a Ripples print.

Why Investing in Regulars Is the Smartest Move for Your Café

Cafés were never just about coffee; they’re what sociologists call “third places”: the spaces between home and work where people connect, unwind, and feel a sense of belonging.These environments don’t just serve good coffee - they build routines, relationships, and emotional attachment. And that’s what drives repeat visits and long-term profitability.According to Duke University research, 40-45% of our daily actions are driven by habit, meaning customers don’t repeatedly choose a café because it’s the best; they choose it because it’s familiar.Once that habit is formed, switching requires effort, and most people simply don’t.
