There's nothing more nonchalant-cool-girl than drinking coffee out of a jar. If you want to be conscious of how many containers you have, you can use these jars for beverages or food storage.

You cannot go wrong with vanilla syrup. Mateo's is sugar free and typically has deals on Amazon. I've purchased the vanilla and the pumpkin cheesecake. I like the vanilla better, but they're both good!

I'm a sugar free syrup girly, but that doesn't mean I don't indulge in seasonal flavors! Torani makes great syrups, sugar free or traditional. As a barista, we used Torani!

I'm going to be real with you: I have this syrup and I'm not over the moon about it because I feel like you have to use a lot of it to get the vanilla flavor. It tastes more like a simple syrup. If you're looking for just a sweetening syrup, then thi...

A PSL (pumpkin spice latte) requires Pumpkin Pie Spice seasoning. I don't make the rules! I love having this on my coffee bar so that it's always in reach. I add it to my oatmeal sometimes too!

Vanilla is basic, but it's good. A little vanilla powder can truly elevate the flavors of your coffee or espresso. I first tried this at my local gas station, and ever since I've enjoyed vanilla powder in coffee.

Everyone could use a permanent marker at one point or another. I keep one on my coffee bar to write my friend's name and their drink. It's over the top, but I have fun doing it.
