If you’re on the hunt for a cute, local coffee shop serving up specialty, holiday-themed drinks, we’ve got you! In fact, we’ve got a listing of several different spots in Owensboro that have the sweetest, tastiest holiday coffees you’ve ever tried, so let’s break them all down, shall we?
If you’re staying in the downtown Owensboro area, we’ve got THREE different coffee shops in your area that you need to swing by for some of the best holiday-themed drinks in town.
Only a couple blocks away from our downtown riverfront hotels is The Creme, a locally-owned coffee and pastry shop. And they have an entire Christmas drink menu that includes both coffee and non-coffee specialty drinks. Try a Jack Frost (almond and vanilla latte), the Candy Cane (white chocolate and peppermint latte) or a Christmas Morning cup of joe complete with white chocolate and maple spice (add blueberry for the extra yum factor!) If you’re not feeling a coffee, try a Snow Creme white chocolate and vanilla frozen drink or a Snickerdoodle Hot Chocolate, among many other creative drinks!
And just a couple blocks away, the pastries and coffees at Gramps Coffee and Donuts are hard to beat. Order a Winter Wonderland donut topped with light and creamy cookie butter whip. In fact, they’re so popular, you may wanna go ahead and order a dozen. And the team at Gramps always has special holiday coffees on the menu during Christmas.
Red Swing Coffee is located at 112 Allen Street in downtown Owensboro, and they stay busy creating new specialty drinks for their customers all year long.
