The fall season comes with a few of our favorite things – leaf peeping, outdoor fire pits and small-town festivals. Millions of Americans will also pack their grill, tailgate tent and beer coolers for a Saturday watching their favorite college football team.
And what pairs best with an early morning of traveling to the game or recovering from a late night watching an overtime win? An excellent cup of coffee with the perfect amount of flavor.
As college towns in the Southeast are welcoming fans from around the country, here are a few locally-owned spots to get your caffeine fix in the form of black coffee or a pumpkin spice latte. SouthState proudly supports several of these cafés through small business banking.
