Fall Dates In Lubbock, From Coffee Shops To Corn Mazes

Something about fall in Lubbock makes sitting across from someone special with a hot drink suddenly feel like a legitimate romantic activity. Maybe it's the cold weather. Maybe it's the fact that you finally got to drag your favorite hoodie (the one that hides your summer BBQ tummy) out of the closet.

Either way, if you're looking for a cozy fall date in Lubbock, I've got a few ideas.

Coffee and a Bookstore

Hit up your favorite coffee joint for some fancy lattes.

If this is your first date, remember not to judge them for ordering something pumpkin spice flavored.

Life is short...

And you are very single.

Afterward, hit up a bookstore or wander through the library together and talk about all the books you would read if you didn't work 80+ hours a week to keep the lights on.

Cocoa in The Park

Yes, another hot drink, only this time, it's chocolatey and won't give you the caffeine jitters. You're already nervous enough to take them out as it is...

Plus, you could even make the cocoa yourself at home, on the cheap! Fill up a thermos, grab a few mugs, and take a little stroll through your nearest park. Romantic!

Apple Cider and The Corn Maze

Did you know you can easily make your own apple cider with apple juice? SUPER SIMPLE. You just pop it in the microwave and add some cinnamon sticks, a little brown sugar, and red hot candies.

Boom.

Apple cider.

Grab your hot apple cider and the apple of your eye, and check out the corn maze at At'l Do Farms! It's only September 12 through November 7th, and they've got pumpkin patches, sunflower fields, hayrides, and of course, a big, awesome corn maze to get lost (and make out) in!

A Real Night Out

If hot drinks and wandering around Lubbock aren't your cup of tea, check out the fall schedule for shows at Cactus Theater. It will give you an excuse to dress up fancy and maybe even grab a steak before the show nearby at Triple J Chophouse & Brew Co.
