With colder weather returns warm traditions, like the annual influx of everything pumpkin to celebrate autumn. Here are a few local restaurant options that will spice up the season.
iHop
iHop offers multiple pumpkin delights, including their pumpkin coffee, an international house roast coffee with pumpkin pie syrup, whipped topping and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice sugar for an extra kick. They also offer pumpkin pancakes to start off the day, which is served with whipped topping and sides such as eggs, hash browns, bacon or sausage.
The Caffeinery
This local coffee shop’s take on the seasonal flavor is a little different. They offer a white chocolate pumpkin spice drink that contains espresso and milk. “It’s our little bit of fall magic,” barista Jannell Summers said.
The Cup
The Cup offers pumpkin flavored drinks year round, including their caffeinated confection, the Great Pumpkin. The Great Pumpkin can be served hot, iced or blended and includes spiced chai, espresso, steamed milk and pumpkin pie syrup—all topped with whipped cream, cinnamon and nutmeg. Couple that with a pumpkin spiced latte, a pumpkin flavored iced dripped coffee and a pumpkin chocolate chip muffin and this Village business has enough to keep even the most pumpkin-obsessed customer satisfied.
Let’s Spoon and Berrywinkle Frozen Yogurt
If warm desserts are too mainstream, Muncie’s frozen yogurt locations, Let’s Spoon and Berrywinkle Frozen Yogurt both offer pumpkin frozen yogurt. Pair them with any topping, such as sprinkles or whipped cream, and voilà, the delicious evening snack is complete.
Starbucks
Let’s get the obvious out of the way: the Pumpkin Spice Latte is a signature drink that can be ordered hot or cold at this coffee location. However, Starbucks also offers pumpkin snacks like pumpkin cream cheese muffins and pumpkin scones, served with vanilla icing and pumpkin spice drizzle.
Jamba Juice
For a cooler, any-time option, try Jamba Juice’s response to the Pumpkin Spice Latte—the Pumpkin Smash Smoothie. The smoothie contains a pumpkin spice base, nonfat frozen yogurt, ice and reduced fat milk for a healthier treat.
