For the fall season, Le Pain Quotidien introduced a vegan-friendly autumn latte at all of its worldwide locations. The comforting Apple Oat Latte is said to taste like apple pie à la mode in a mug, since it uses a combination of apple cider and oat milk as a base.
Inspired by apple butter and apple pie à la mode, the beverage elevates an ingredient pairing that's often found in oat crumbles and cereals. The plant-based treat is a menu addition that promises to provide warmth all season long.
Le Pain Quotidien chef consultant Kaegan Welch told VegNews, "We wanted to offer a beverage that celebrates fall flavors but was great for the whole family—being that it is a non-caffeinated latte."
