Reese’s Meets The Nitro Bar: Pumpkin‑Peanut‑Butter Latte Pops Up in East Village

New York’s coffee scene got a sweet surprise this fall. For a fleeting two‑day window, Reese’s—yes, the candy that lives in your pantry—joined forces with Rhode Island‑based The Nitro Bar to serve up a drink that smells like autumn and tastes like a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup on a latte.

The pop‑up took over Astor Place Plaza, right in front of the Chase Bank building, from 11 a.m. on Saturday, September 14, through Sunday, September 15. It was a simple set‑up: a small stand, a barista crew in branded aprons, and a line of curious New Yorkers waiting for their first sip of the Reese’s Pumpkins PB Whip Latte.

What makes this latte special? Think of the classic Reese’s flavor—rich milk chocolate wrapped around a creamy peanut‑butter center—mixed with the warm, earthy notes of pumpkin spice and The Nitro Bar’s signature nitro‑infused coffee. The result is a velvety, slightly frothy beverage that’s both indulgent and oddly comforting, especially when the leaves start turning.

Because it’s a limited‑time collaboration, the drink was only available while supplies lasted. Fans were encouraged to arrive early, snap a quick photo, and, of course, savor the moment before the cups ran dry. The Nitro Bar also offered a few extra treats—think pumpkin‑spiced muffins and mini Reese’s‑themed cookies—to round out the experience.

While the pop‑up was short, the buzz lingered. Social‑media feeds filled with pink‑and‑orange latte art, and locals chattered about how the drink perfectly captured that “first sip of fall” feeling. If you missed it, keep an eye on both Reese’s and The Nitro Bar; they’ve hinted at future collaborations, perhaps for the holidays.

So, if you ever find yourself wandering past Astor Place next September, you might just see a new line forming—another chance to try a coffee that’s half caffeine, half candy, and all autumn.
