Here in Orlando, we don’t necessarily mark the coming of fall with cool temps, warm flannel jackets, and changing leaves. Instead, we love to celebrate the season of change with all things delicious and pumpkin flavored.
We’ll keep our sunny skies, beautiful palm trees, and perfect pool weather thank-you-very-much – just with a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

The Glass Knife
The Glass Knife makes some of the most exquisite pastries that artfully combine textures and flavors for uniquely indulgent desserts. Every pastry looks like its own work of art.
While they have staples that you can enjoy year-round, customers are always coming back to explore their seasonal menus, and fall is no exception.
Last year’s fall menu featured delicacies like the Pumpkin Pastry, a pumpkin-shaped confection made of harmonious layers of mascarpone cream, brown butter cake, spiced caramel sauce, and smooth pumpkin mousse. One spoonful is basically all the best parts of fall in a single bite.
Some of their other fall treats have included a pumpkin croissant topped with hand-torched meringue, the tiered pumpkin latte petite cake, and a decadent pumpkin cheesecake worthy of the most elegant Thanksgiving table.
And those are just the pumpkin items. Their fall menu features plenty of other autumn flavor favorites like sweet potato, apple spice, caramel corn, candied caramel apple, and more.
The aesthetic at both Glass Knife locations is colorful upscale vintage, making it the perfect insta-worthy spot to settle in with a book, a sweet treat, and a cup of coffee.

Light on the Sugar
Light on the Sugar is a family-owned bakery and coffee shop that is taking Orlando by storm. Home to three Central Florida locations, their beautiful baked goods are colorful, creative, and downright delicious.
The menu is stacked with French pastries featuring Asian-inspired flavors like matcha and ube. When fall arrives, you can expect to find plenty of pumpkin scattered throughout.
In the past, their autumn creations have included specialties like the impressive Pumpkin Pie Crepe Cake, made of dozens of layers of thin crepes layered with pumpkin pie whipped cream.

Kelly’s Homemade Ice Cream
Here in Orlando, our fall weather can often feel like an extension of summer. Luckily, that means ice cream is still the perfect seasonal treat.
Kelly’s Homemade Ice Cream is a local, handcrafted ice cream shop that is quickly spreading throughout Central Florida. As of now, they have seven scoop shops and over two dozen counters in coffee shops, food halls, and restaurants.
Sure, their menu has classic flavors like vanilla, mint chocolate chip, and strawberry, but the more adventurous palates can take Kelly’s Original flavors like Banana Pudding, Mexican Chocolate, and Blondie for a spin.
Every month, Kelly’s releases a collection of new flavors that reflect the spirit and ingredients of the season. Come October, pumpkin usually makes an appearance on the menu.
In the past, Kelly’s has featured flavors like Pumpkin Cheescake, made with pumpkin spiced ice cream layered with creamy cheesecake sauce and gingersnap crumbles.
For an extra special treat, check out their ice cream pies made with your special holiday celebrations in mind.

This farm is the ultimate seasonal destination for photo ops, family fun, and plenty of pumpkins. You’ll definitely want to stop by the airstream-turned-bakery for goodies like fresh pumpkin muffins, apple cider donuts, and even frozen apple cider.
Take your pumpkin treats to the next level by enjoying them as you stroll through a pre-picked pumpkin patch with dozens of varieties of pumpkins of all shapes and sizes. You can also wander through sunflower patches and pick your own bouquet, swing by the petting zoo, and enjoy a variety of carnival rides and food trucks for the ultimate fall afternoon.

Their year-round menu is packed with classic bagel flavors like everything, garlic, onion, cinnamon raisin, and of course, plain. But Jeff’s is also a pioneer of bold bagel flavors like cacio e pepe and asiago everything.
Their spreads (cream cheese, schmear, whatever you like to call it) are next level with creativity, too. Try the banana pudding, cake batter, cannoli, or hot sauce for an extra special twist on breakfast.
In the fall, pumpkin flavors take their rightful place on the menu. In past years, Jeff’s Bagel Run has released a special pumpkin bagel with just the right amount of autumn in every bite. It’s typically accompanied by a limited-edition pumpkin spice cream cheese made with all of the cozy fall spices you know and love.
Their coffee menu will also feature delicious pumpkin spice offerings that are the perfect pick-me-up pairing to go with your pumpkin-flavored order.
