Autumn has arrived, meaning just about anything now comes in pumpkin flavor, but there’s never enough time to try all these seasonal treats! Lucky for you, I’ve compiled a list of the fall treats you have to try before the season ends.
- Krispy Kreme: Pumpkin Spice Cake Donut
-
This donut is a great addition to a fall-themed breakfast photo for Instagram. Although I typically stray away from cake donuts, this pumpkin spice donut is definitely an exception. The pumpkin flavor really comes through and you can feel the heat from the spice. If you’re planning to get a dozen of Krispy Kremes anytime soon, add this one to the box.
- Starbucks: Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew
-
Of course, you’ve all experienced the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte, but as someone who hates coffee, even the traditional PSL had too much coffee flavor in it. This cold brew, on the other hand, really doesn’t taste like coffee, thanks to its heaps of sugar. It is so sweet and has so much pumpkin flavor that I could truly drink a whole venti. I’d call this cold brew a fall essential, although I will add that if you’re looking for a coffee replacement, this probably isn’t it.
- Dairy Queen: Pumpkin Cookie Butter Shake
-
DQ is well-known for its Blizzards, but that doesn’t mean you should count this shake out. This seasonal shake is made with Biscoff cookies, making for some delicious morsels of cookie in every sip. The top of the shake is sprinkled with nutmeg, so you get some fall flavor in your sip right away. It’s a great addition to any meal.
- Cheesecake Factory: Pumpkin Cheesecake
-
I live decently far from The Cheesecake Factory, so whenever I get the opportunity to order from there, I want it to be worthwhile. Their pumpkin cheesecake does not disappoint. It is, of course, rich and creamy, and the pumpkin flavor comes through very nicely.
- Dairy Queen: Pumpkin Pie Blizzard
-
That’s right, this is Dairy Queen’s second mention in this article. I have got to say, this Blizzard will blow your mind. It tastes exactly like a pumpkin pie and even has bits of pie crust in it. The seasoning is spectacular; you really won’t find anything like it. If I had to choose just one fall-themed treat to have all year round, this would be it.
Make sure to add trying these fall treats to your planner ASAP so you can taste them before they disappear with the season. Stay safe, treat yourself, and eat (or drink!) the rich.
