9 Miami Spots Rolling Out Pumpkin Spice And Apple Delights For Fall-Here’s Where To Try Them
Fall has finally arrived in Miami, bringing with it a wave of seasonal treats that’ll make you forget about the beach for a minute.
I’ve been on a mission to hunt down the tastiest pumpkin spice and apple-infused goodies across the city.
From boozy cocktails to sweet pastries, these nine spots are serving up autumn on a plate (or in a glass) that’ll have you feeling those fall vibes despite our palm trees and 80-degree weather.
1. STK Steakhouse’s Boozy Pumpkin Paradise
Last weekend, I sipped on STK’s Pumpkin Spice Martini while watching the sunset over Brickell—talk about a Miami fall moment! This luxe steakhouse isn’t just about the meat; their seasonal cocktail game is seriously impressive.
The Pumpkin Bourbon Smash knocked my boots off with its perfect balance of warm spices and smooth bourbon. The bartender rimmed my glass with cinnamon sugar, adding that extra touch that made me forget I was wearing shorts in October.
The cocktails pair surprisingly well with their savory dishes, creating that sweet-and-salty combo we all crave when the “temperature drops” to a chilly 75 degrees. Pro tip: grab a seat at the bar around 7pm for the best people-watching while you enjoy your fall spirits.
2. Jarana Aventura’s Peruvian Pumpkin Twist
Who knew Peruvian cuisine and pumpkin spice would make such a dynamic duo? I stumbled upon Jarana’s Pumpkin Spice Pisco Sour last Thursday and nearly fell off my barstool—it was that good!
The mixologist explained how they infuse traditional pisco with warm pumpkin spices, creating a South American-meets-basic-fall-girl mashup that somehow works brilliantly. The frothy egg white top gets a light dusting of cinnamon and nutmeg that had me snapping pics for the ‘gram immediately.
The restaurant’s vibrant atmosphere makes this drink experience even better—colorful murals, upbeat music, and friendly staff who don’t judge when you order a second round. If you’re looking for a fall drink that breaks the mold, this pisco creation deserves your attention.
3. The Salty’s Triple Threat Of Fall Flavors
Waking up at 7am to beat the weekend line at The Salty was completely worth it for their fall donut lineup! Their Pumpkin Roll donut made me audibly gasp—a pillowy brioche filled with actual pumpkin cream cheese and rolled in cinnamon sugar.
The Butterscotch Crunch is my personal favorite, topped with crunchy butterscotch pieces that create this magnificent textural contrast. I watched a toddler’s eyes go wide as his mom handed him half of one—pure donut magic.
Vegans aren’t left out of the fall fun either! The Apple Crumb donut tastes so buttery and rich, you’d never guess it’s plant-based. Pair any of these with their coffee (I recommend the cold brew) for the ultimate Miami fall breakfast experience that’ll have you forgetting about summer smoothie bowls.
4. Lime Fresh Mexican Grill’s Apple Fritter Churro Fiesta
My Tuesday lunch break turned into a mini fall celebration when I tried Lime Fresh’s new Apple Fritter Churro. The genius behind this creation deserves a medal—it’s basically fall fair food meets Mexican street snack!
The churro itself is perfectly crispy on the outside, with that signature cinnamon-sugar coating that gets all over your fingers (and possibly your phone). Inside, there’s a warm apple filling that tastes homemade, not like that artificial stuff.
I love how they serve it with both caramel and chocolate dipping sauces because, honestly, why choose? The casual counter-service setup makes this an easy grab-and-go fall treat between meetings or beach sessions. For $4.99, this seasonal churro brings major autumn vibes without the major price tag of fancier desserts around town.
5. Night Owl Cookies’ Middle Eastern Fall Fusion
Midnight cookie cravings led me to Night Owl’s limited-edition “Fall in Dubai” creation last weekend—and wow, what a delicious culture clash! This cookie combines traditional Middle Eastern flavors with classic American fall vibes in ways I never imagined possible.
The base is a pumpkin spice cookie (soft and chewy, naturally), but then they’ve added cardamom, pistachios, and subtle apple pieces that transport your taste buds across continents. The white chocolate drizzle on top adds just the right amount of sweetness.
I watched the staff pull a fresh batch from the oven, and the aroma alone was worth the late-night trip. Night Owl’s famous for their creative combinations, but this one feels especially innovative. Available until Thanksgiving, these cookies make perfect gifts for friends who think they’ve tried every pumpkin spice product in existence.
6. Salt & Straw’s Unexpected Ice Cream Innovations
“Ice cream in fall? Absolutely!” I told my skeptical friend before dragging her to Salt & Straw last weekend. Their seasonal flavors had me questioning everything I thought I knew about autumn desserts.
The Apple & Cheddar Cinnamon Rolls flavor sounds bizarre but tastes like a cozy Vermont breakfast transformed into creamy perfection. Sharp cheddar cheese ice cream with swirls of apple butter and chunks of cinnamon roll dough—it’s a sweet-savory masterpiece!
Their Apple Cider Donut option transported me straight to a New England orchard despite the Miami heat. Real donut pieces soaked in caramel sauce get folded into cinnamon ice cream, creating texture and flavor that had me scraping the bottom of my cup. The line might look intimidating, but trust me—these creative fall flavors are worth the wait.
7. Pura Vida’s Healthy Fall Fuel Options
Monday morning meetings become significantly more bearable with Pura Vida’s Pumpkin Spice Latte in hand! Unlike the sugar bombs at certain chain coffee shops (no names mentioned), their version uses real pumpkin puree and just a touch of maple syrup for sweetness.
I’ve become slightly obsessed with their pumpkin protein smoothie too. After my beachside workout yesterday, I refueled with this creamy blend of pumpkin, banana, almond milk, and plant protein. It tastes indulgent while actually supporting my fitness goals—a Miami miracle!
The airy, Instagram-worthy space makes sipping your fall beverage even more enjoyable. White walls, natural wood, and plenty of plants create that clean aesthetic we all secretly crave. Bonus points for their biodegradable cups that make enjoying seasonal treats a bit more eco-friendly.
8. Rosetta Bakery’s Italian-Inspired Autumn Treats
The Italians know a thing or two about pastry, and Rosetta Bakery proves it with their fall lineup! Their Pumpkin Spice Croissant stopped me in my tracks during my morning coffee run—layers upon layers of buttery pastry with pumpkin cream peeking out from every fold.
Watching the staff arrange these golden beauties in the display case is practically a form of art appreciation. Each croissant gets a light dusting of powdered sugar and cinnamon before making its way to hungry customers like me.
The Apple Cake deserves equal attention, with thin slices of caramelized apples arranged in a spiral pattern atop a moist, vanilla-scented base. It’s less sweet than American apple desserts, letting the natural fruit flavors shine. Pro tip: these treats sell out fast, especially on weekends, so get there before 11am for the best selection.
9. Panther Coffee’s Secret Seasonal Sippers
“Is that cardamom I taste?” I asked the barista at Panther Coffee when trying their off-menu Spiced Apple Cider last Friday. With a knowing smile, she revealed their house blend of warming spices that elevates this autumn classic beyond the ordinary.
Panther may be known for their expertly roasted beans, but their seasonal specials deserve the spotlight too. Their Maple Pumpkin Cold Brew combines two fall favorites with their signature smooth coffee for a refreshing yet seasonal pick-me-up perfect for Miami’s version of autumn.
The Wynwood location’s artsy vibe complements these creative fall beverages perfectly—colorful murals outside, local art inside, and that unmistakable coffee aroma filling the air. Unlike the mass-produced pumpkin drinks elsewhere, Panther’s versions taste authentically crafted with real ingredients and thoughtful flavor combinations that respect both the coffee and the seasonal elements.
