Not many people know this (mostly because it’s not true), but the reason “over-sized” sweaters and flannels are so popular in the fall is because people want to enjoy the pumpkin treats to their full extent. So, in order to help you achieve this goal we’ve hunted down some local places to get your pumpkin fix.
Perfect Pumpkin with Streusel Pie
Be Happy Pie Company has many delicious treats, but since our focus is on ‘pumpkin’ today we would like to draw attention to this absolutely delicious Perfect Pumpkin with Streusel Pie. Not a fan of streusel? Well, that’s fine because they also have Pumpkin Scones! Head to 2818 B Mt. Vernon Avenue when you’re ready for some fall treats.
Pumpkin Cinnamon Cupcake
I’m personally never satisfied with just one cupcake, so naturally another pumpkin cupcake option has to be added to the list from Sweet Betty’s Bakery. Might as well try both for good measure. This one can be found at 5600 E. Virginia Street, Suite E.
Pumpkin Snicker Doodle Cookies
If you’ve never had a Pumpkin Snicker Doodle Cookie before, then I can’t help but feel a little sorry for your taste buds. Whether you already love it or want to try it, Granola Jar is here to save the day. You can get your little slice of heaven at either 1033 E. Mount Pleasant Drive or 111 S. Green River Road.
Pumpkin Spice Donuts
Treat yourself to a pumpkin filled breakfast at Donut Bank with some of their amazing Pumpkin Spice Donuts and Donut Holes, or surprise your family with a few bags of them to remind them why you’re the favorite parent.
The Greatest Pumpkin (Espresso)
Caffeine lovers will be happy to know that Honey + Moon Coffee Co. is bringing back its seasonal pumpkin espresso this year which is a delicious concoction of espresso, pumpkin sauce, milk, whip and pumpkin spice sprinkled on top. Find this little café at 612 S. Weinbach Avenue.
Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream
I’d argue that ice cream is the perfect dessert to end any meal, but Lic’s Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream is in a whole other ball park. I know many people who will tell you they have the best ice cream in town, so it’s definitely worth a stop to try this for yourself.
Pumpkin Ice Cream
Also vying for a place in your heart for the best pumpkin ice cream is G.D. Ritzy’s. We’re going to leave it up to you to decide which of these two ice cream havens dish out the best pumpkin ice cream.
Pumpkin Spiced Martini
Yeah, you read that right – Pumpkin Spiced MARTINI. This is the grown up’s version of a Pumpkin Spiced coffee. You can try it at The Rooftop at 112 NW Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
