"This might come as a shock, but Garten's disinterest has less to do with hating pumpkin and spice and more to do with something she does really like. She revealed this preference in a video for Today, where she rated controversial foods (yes to avocado toast, no to pineapple on pizza if you're curious). When asked about pumpkin spice lattes, she simply responded, "I like coffee to taste like coffee.""
"Garten has talked plenty about her love of coffee in the past, including her love of the cup her husband makes, and it's clear she really wants the coffee flavor to shine through. Garten's favorite coffee brand is the specialty Dallis Bros, and she doesn't want anything but milk in it, not even sugar. It's no surprise that the syrupy sweet, spice-heavy PSL doesn't really appeal to her."
Ina Garten prefers her coffee to taste like coffee and declines pumpkin spice lattes because they mask coffee flavor. She favors specialty Dallis Bros coffee and takes it with milk only, without sugar. Garten enjoys pumpkin flavor in baked goods and desserts, offering recipes for pumpkin flan, pumpkin mousse tart, and pumpkin spice cupcakes. Her personal favorite is a pumpkin roulade: a rolled pumpkin-flavored sponge filled with Italian mascarpone and ginger cream. Garten often pairs simple coffee with pumpkin desserts; her husband's cup is noted as an example of the straightforward coffee she prefers.
