Let’s get into the fall spirit with a seasonal treat!
Happy first day of fall, Seattle! We here at Secret Seattle love summertime in Washington State, but there’s so much to look forward to about fall in Seattle. In addition to the colorful leaves, fall festivals, and crisp weather, there’s a near-endless parade of fall-flavored treats that we can’t wait to get our hands on. Many cafes, bakeries, restaurants, and breweries in Seattle debut limited-time fall menu items in September, October, and November.
Now that we’ve officially entered autumn, we rounded up the best fall treats in Seattle that we’ve seen being offered so far. We will be continuously updating this list whenever we see a notable fall menu item announced. If you see one that you like, make sure to go try it before it’s rotated out! We can’t always say for sure how long these seasonal treats will remain on the menu.
Here are our picks for the yummiest fall treats in Seattle this year:
1. Spooky sweet treats at The Flora Bakehouse
A vegan and gluten-free dark chocolate frosted brownie with Halloween sprinkles, spooky boo-nicorn horns, pumpkin whoopie pies, and a peach refresher with cold foam are all available daily at The Flora Bakehouse in Beacon Hill.
2. Fall drinks at Bake Shop
Bake Shop just rolled out their cozy fall drink menu! The limited-time drinks are the Gourd Girl Latte (their version of the pumpkin spice latte), a Black sesame caramel latte (or matcha!), and Chai Cider.
3. Pumpkin clove ice cream at Molly Moon
We have to get our fill of ice cream before the weather turns too cold! Molly Moon is now offering pumpkin clove ice cream, which you can enjoy on its own or as a sundae or a shake topped with hot fudge. You can even try it in the form of their seasonal chocolate and pumpkin clove ice cream cake.
4. Fall vegan ice cream flavors at Frankie & Jo’s
If you need your ice cream treat to be dairy-free, Frankie & Jo’s just announced their limited-edition fall flavors: Miso Moon, Cardamom Apple, and Pumpkin Pie.
5. Pumpkin Cheesecake Latte at Coffeeholic House
Craving a pumpkin spice latte? Skip the Starbucks line and treat yourself to this decadent drink at Coffeeholic House.

You can find this Vietnamese coffee shop in Greenwood, Columbia City, and Bellevue.
