Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth With These Astoria Spots Fall is in the air! It’s time to trade in our sundresses for scarves and embrace the new season. What’s one thing to look forward to each year? PUMPKIN! The flavor is everywhere, even beyond the #PSL. Here’s eleven spots to enjoy Fall’s most popular flavor in our neighborhood. Pumpkin Cream Cheese: Brooklyn Bagel Brooklyn Bagel has no shortage of excellent cream cheese flavors, but the new pumpkin offering is a real treat: not overwhelmingly sweet, and just the right amount of pumpkin goodness. It’s a great way to start your day! Brooklyn Bagel Multiple Locations bkbagel.com | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter Pumpkin Pie Frozen Yogurt: 16 Handles Oh boy. How can I petition 16 Handles to make Oh My Pumpkin Pie a flavor year-round? This rich, smooth flavor knocked me out, in a good way! 16 Handles (37-07 30th Avenue |(347) 527-1050 16handles.com | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter Pumpkin Cranberry Whoopie Pies: Astor Bake Shop Pumpkin cookies and icing is a match made in heaven. Whoopie pies are always a fun go-to dessert, and the Fall flavors bring these to a whole other level. Astor Bake Shop is a little out of the way, but SO worth the walk. Astor Bake Shop (12-23 Astoria Blvd) |(718) 606-8439 astor-bakeshop.com | Facebook | Twitter Pumpkin Butterscotch Donuts: Queens Comfort Photo Credit: Queens Comfort We wouldn’t expect anything less than over-the-top perfection from Queens Comfort, and boy do their Pumpkin Butterscotch Donuts deliver.

Adding pumpkin only adds to the perfection. Bonus: Parisi Bakery also serves pumpkin spice lattes!

Greenbay Market (32-06 Broadway)| (718) 204-6400 | Facebook | Yelp | Pumpkin Spice Latte Donut: Gossip Coffee The ubiquitous coffee flavor is now a donut, from (who else?) the whimsical minds of Gossip Coffee. Grab a caffeinated beverage and this donut for the perfect Autumn combination, no boots or scarves required. Gossip Coffee (37-04 30th Ave. | (718) 440-8792) gossipcoffee.com | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter Pumpkin Loaf and Gooey Pumpkin Cake: Astoria Coffee Photo Credit: Astoria Coffee Astoria Coffee frequently offers a reliably tasty pumpkin loaf, but the addition of Gooey Pumpkin Butter Cake is worthy of a special announcement. The treat matches its name: rich, sugary, and with a great crunchy texture on top to provide a nice contrast. I won’t tell you how many I had! Astoria Coffee (30-04 30th St.) | (718) 440-8792) astoriacoffeeny.com | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter Vegan Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream: Sweet Jane’s I’m always amazed at what Sweet Jane’s can create without dairy.
