## Story

Why wait for sweater weather when you can enjoy your favorite seasonal latte now? Poppin’ Pumpkin is bringing it all for fall: cozy pumpkin spice, a drizzle of salted caramel, topped with your choice of cloud top or whipped cream, and finished with candy-like poppin’ sugar that snaps and crackles like a campfire on a crisp autumn night. Every sip is sweet, salty, and perfectly spiced. The specialty fall drink is available through November 2, 2025. Aroma Joe’s baristas - who take every guest order personally, not over an intercom - like to describe it as a nostalgic hug in a cup.

On August 18 and August 25, all guests can get a 24 oz. Poppin’ Pumpkin Latte for $2.50. On August 20 and August 26, AJ’s Rewards members can get a 24 oz. Poppin’ Pumpkin Latte for only 25 cents. More information on the AJs Rewards app and benefits is available here.

Aroma Joe’s is also celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and, as one of the fastest growing franchises in the U.S, Aroma Joe’s is a major disruptor in the quick service coffee space.
