It’s time to take the PSL obsession local. Smelly Cat Coffeehouse in NoDa creates a pumpkin spice syrup from scratch with real pumpkin and lots of spices. 

 

The Hobbyist & Bonjour Y’all Bakery: Maple-glaze Drizzled Oat Scone

Take a turn away from pumpkin for some alternative fall flavors like the maple-glazed drizzled oat scone found at The Hobbyist in NoDa and produced by Bonjour Y’all Bakery. Pair it with the bourbon brown sugar cortado, aka the Boozer Cruiser.

This muffin from Sunflour Bakery is like Thanksgiving dinner in a to-go treat. Take a bite out of this combo of fall flavors while they last—this is a new treat for the season. 

 

Amelie’s Bakery: Sweet Potato Pecan Layered Torte

Go truly decadent with the sweet potato pecan layered torte from Amelie’s, complete with golden pecan and mini marshmallows on top.
