Although our sunny Florida weather shows no indication, fall is quickly approaching. With fall comes many great things such as the crisp cool air, a cute fall wardrobe and pumpkin spice everything! Here is your guide to the best locations you can get your pumpkin spice fix this season.

1.Starbucks

Starbucks may just be the crème de la crème of Pumpkin Spice this fall, and with two locations on campus, it might just be our top pick. Not only do they have Pumpkin Spice Lattes and Frappuccino’s, they also offer pumpkin scones, muffins, bread… even adorable pumpkin shaped cookies. It is such a cult classic, that the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte even has its own Twitter and Instagram @therealpsl

 

2.Dunkin Donuts

Dunkin Donuts also has a large array of pumpkin spice treats available, including pumpkin spice coffee and lattes. It doesn’t stop at drinks though- they also have pumpkin donuts and muffins. Another great thing about Dunkin Donuts is their happy hour special from 3-6 p.m. so you can get your pumpkin fix while ballin’ on a budget.

 

3. Einstein’s

 

Einstein Bros. Bagels also serves up some great pumpkin treats, and there is a location right on campus! We love the pumpkin bagel with pumkin schmear, or the pumpkin cream cheese poppers- washed down with a frozen pumpkin latte, of course.

 

4. Dairy Queen

Looking for the college version of the real pumpkin pie experience? Dairy Queen may be the place to get it with the Pumpkin Pie Blizzard. It is made with real pumpkin pie mix and crust, talk about the perfect fall treat!

 

5. Auntie Anne’s

Who doesn’t love Auntie Anne’s pretzels? Pumpkin Spice Pretzel Nuggets are the warm, soft cinnamon pretzels bites with an added pumpkin flavor.

 

6. Ben and Jerry’s

 

Pumpkin, cheesecake and a swirl of graham cracker… sound amazing? Ben and Jerry’s Pumpkin Cheesecake is a great treat for fall, especially when fall in florida Florida still means 90 degree weather.

 

7.  Felicitous

Our local fix for pumpkin is delicious and comes in either a charming mason jar or a colorful mug- Felicitious, of course! If cute, quirky coffee shops are more your speed, or you love supporting local, then Felicitious is the place to go.

 

Whether you get your pumpkin fix from ice cream, lattes or both, there is an option for you! Luckily, many of them are available right on campus, and the others are super close!
