Pumpkins Pumpkins Everywhere

It seems like there are more pumpkin-flavored seasonal items on the market every fall. From pumpkin coffee to pumpkin beer, pumpkin desserts to pumpkin entrees, you practically need an itinerary to catch them all this season. Here are a few of our favorites.

Their October cupcake of the month is the seasonal pumpkin cupcake. The pint-sized indulgence is a pumpkin spice cake with raisins and walnuts, frosted with pumpkin cream cheese and topped with walnuts and chocolate drizzle. Wow.

The pumpkin spice latte debuted back in 2004 and may very well have started the pumpkin-everything season. We started drinking pumpkin spice lattes the day the signs went up (September 6) and we're more than happy to indulge while it's here this year.

Did we really need another excuse to "Gofer Ice Cream"? Their seasonal pumpkin ice cream is worth the stop — especially while it’s still warm enough to enjoy a frosty treat in the October sun.

We’re head-over-heels for their flavored coffees and the pumpkin spice is available year-round. With tons of cinnamon and pumpkin flavor and none of that funny taste that you get with some creative coffees, we haven’t been this crazy about a coffee since their chocolate raspberry last Valentines Day!

We had to expand our reach just a little past Stamford and note that we had the most delicious pumpkin waffles there last week. Baked with pecans and topped with walnuts and maple syrup — perfect fall brunch.
