As the holiday season approaches, local restaurant kitchens come alive with the comforting aromas of spice and sweetness. Among the most beloved flavors of this time of year is pumpkin, a seasonal star that brings warmth to everything from pies to breads. Infused with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, pumpkin treats embody the cozy essence of fall, making them a staple on holiday tables. Whether it’s a classic pumpkin pie or a new twist on a traditional favorite, these festive delights capture the magic of the season with every bite.
Niko’s Bakery and Café
No matter the season, you’re always sure to find hot coffee to warm you up, and a tasty homemade treat to complete your meal. We recommend their pumpkin pie latte, cinnamon scone, bourbon balls, and espresso macarons.
Kahawa Java
Kahawa Java serves customers exceptional coffee all year round, and the holiday season is no exception. Visit them this fall and winter for a Hot Pumpkin Crème Brulee, with gourmet pumpkin pie sauce, caramel and vanilla, or an Iced Apple Maple Bourbon, made with non-alcoholic bourbon barrel stout.
Lics Deli and Ice Cream
This local institution is well-known for its delicious ice cream. But frozen treats aren’t just for summertime. This season, try their homemade S’mores feature flavor, with toasted marshmallow ice cream, chocolate squares, and a graham swirl. And you can’t go wrong with their Pumpkin Pie ice cream with pie crust pieces and a whipped topping swirl.
