8 Pumpkin-Flavored Treats In Columbus That Are Worth The Hype

Everyone loves pumpkin. Or at least, they do in my mind.

It’s probably because I’ve been obsessed with pumpkin for a long time. You know, before it was cool– a pumpkin hipster, if you will. Of course, you can quench your thirst for all things pumpkin at the grocery store or Starbucks.

But if you’re looking to take your favorite fall habit to the next level, you’ve come to the right girl. Here are 9 pumpkin-flavored treats to bring out the #basic in all of us.

Pistacia Vera is a go-to for most dessert lovers here in Columbus, but that’s especially true this time of year. If you want something to wash down your Pumpkin Spice Macaron, why not order a delicious Pumpkin Latte?

  • Pumpkin Whoopie Pie from Pattycake Bakery

    A whole grain pumpkin whoopie pie, paired with a spiced filling. 100% vegan. 100% delicious.

    Pattycake Bakery is a fantastic vegan bakery here in Columbus, and their pumpkin whoopie pies are a total showstopper. I promise, your non-vegan friends will love them too.

    My favorite donuts in Columbus made with my favorite flavor. Yum.

    Buckeye Donuts is legendary around here, and for good reason. Every donut there is a dream, but this time of year, there’s nothing I want to take a bite out of more than their Pumpkin Donut.

  • Pumpkin Ice Cream from Graeter’s

    Grab a pint, throw on a comfy sweater, and curl up. It’s time to treat yourself to a pint.

    It might not be as headline-grabbing as a potential Skyline Chili collaboration, but the Pumpkin Ice Cream at Graeter’s is nothing to sneer at. It’s creamy, a little spicy (not the chili kind) and on these random 75 degree fall days, it’s a nice little treat.

  • Pumpkin Pie from Just Pies

    For when you’re looking for the perfect OG pumpkin dessert.

  • Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes

    These little pumpkin cakes pack a punch. They are flavorful and filling and completely wonderful in every way.

    I know that Nothing Bundt Cakes is a chain, but their tiny little pumpkin spice bundt cakes are entirely too cute and delicious to not be included here. They’re sugar, spice, and genuinely, everything nice.

    This seasonal cake is a yummy 9 in 4 layer pumpkin cake frosted with a dreamy pumpkin spice espresso frosting and topped with whipped white chocolate cream dollops on top! It is the stuff dreams are made of. Seriously, I think this is what Hilary Duff was singing about all those years ago.

  • Pumpkin Cream Puff from Schmidt’s

    An autumn twist on a classic, Columbus dessert.
