Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice — Our Favorite Local Treats

September 28, 2020 Leave a Comment

Oh my gourd, it’s hard to believe that PSL (pumpkin spice latte) season is already upon us. But there are plenty of ways to enjoy the unmistakable taste of autumn that don’t involve a latte. 


Hello Kitty Grand Cafe

The Hello Kitty Grand Cafe has you covered when it comes to adorable Sanrio-themed treats. And this month’s seasonal offerings are no exception. Besides pumpkin spice hot chocolate and hot apple cider, guests can also enjoy pumpkin tarts. Each tart shell is filled with pumpkin puree, whipped cream, cinnamon and a Hello Kitty pumpkin head.

Salt and Straw Mummy's Pumpkin Spiced Potion

Salt & Straw

Salt & Straw’s handmade, chef-driven ice cream shops are known for being inventive and indulgent. Besides classic fan favorites like Honey Lavender and Double Fold Vanilla, seasonal flavors rotate monthly. Their new flavor, Mummy’s Pumpkin Spiced Potion, makes it clear they got the pumpkin spice memo. This sweet and spicy ice cream is made with rooibos tea, pumpkin, caramel, Turkish apple, coconut cream and laced with ribbons of pumpkin butter.
