Pumpkin spice season is here, and with it, the annual debate: who makes the best PSL? Before you default to a big chain, we decided to do the research to find the best, most authentic Pumpkin Spice Latte from a local London cafe that’s worth your money.

How We Picked the Winners

To settle the debate, we didn’t just rely on our own taste buds. We went straight to the source: you. We spent hours combing through local Google reviews and social media posts to see which cafes Londoners themselves are raving about this fall. This isn’t just our list; it’s your neighbours’ list.

Here are the top three that stood out.

1. Black Walnut Bakery Cafe

A true Wortley Village institution, the Black Walnut has been a beloved local hub for over a decade, known for its incredible in-house baking and vibrant community atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you’ll always run into someone you know.

With a stellar 4.6-star rating on Google, their fall lattes are a yearly tradition, with reviewers often praising the balanced, authentic flavour as “autumn in a cup, not just a blast of sugar.”

This is the ideal spot for a cozy weekday work session or a weekend catch-up with a friend where the lively energy of Wortley Village is part of the experience.

  • Location: 134 Wortley Rd, London, ON
  • Hours: 7 AM – 6 PM Daily
  • Parking: Free street parking is available, but it can be busy. Be prepared for a short walk.

Their baking menu changes daily, so check their Instagram for today’s irresistible lineup before you go: Black Walnut Instagram

2. Locomotive Espresso

For those who want a seriously good coffee without the frills, Locomotive Espresso is the answer. Located just off the beaten path, this spot has a minimalist, industrial-chic vibe and a reputation for technical excellence.

They make all their own syrups in-house, a detail praised by coffee lovers on social media every fall. This results in a PSL that still tastes like expertly crafted coffee, not just a sweet drink.

This is the ideal spot for a quiet, focused conversation where the quality of the coffee is the main event.

  • Location: 408 Pall Mall St, London, ON
  • Hours: 8 AM – 4 PM Weekdays, 9 AM – 4 PM Weekends
  • Parking: Small dedicated parking lot and some street parking available.

3. 10Eighteen Coffee Bar

More than just a coffee shop, 10Eighteen is a community hub in the heart of Old East Village. With its warm, inviting interior and friendly staff, it has become a cornerstone of the OEV.

Reviewers on social media consistently mention the “cozy vibe” and “amazing staff” alongside the creative drink menu, calling their PSL the perfect comfort drink on a cool fall day.

This is a great spot to feel connected to the community, discover other local artisans, and enjoy a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

  • Location: 1018 Dundas St, London, ON
  • Hours: 8 AM – 6 PM Daily
  • Parking: Metered street parking on Dundas St.
