COFFEES DRINKS

Pumpkin Spice Cold Foam Cold Brew
Serious coffee enthusiasts can head to Serendipity Coffee and belly up to their bar for one of these robust and flavorful cold beverages.  (144 W. 5th Ave., downtown)

Spiked Lattes
These are delish!  Served hot or cold, these adult beverages are perfect when the day calls for something a little stronger.  Choose between a spiked Nutty Pumpkin Latte or an Irish Pumpkin Latte at Las Palmas Cuban Restaurant. (351 N. Donnelly St., downtown)

EDIBLE FAVORITES

Pumpkin Muffins
The homemade, generously-sized muffins at Cody's on 4th are always moist and have just the right amount of pumpkin spice.  They may be large, but you won’t want to share. (111 E. 4th Ave., downtown)

Pumpkin Creme Brulee
Yep, it’s as good as it sounds.  Be sure to save room after your favorite pizza or pasta dish for this decadent house-made dessert at PizzAmore on 5th Avenue.  (722 E. 5th Ave., near uptown)

Pumpkin Bars
These fresh and scrumptious seasonal baked treats are brought to you by a new sweets and custom cake bakery in town, Aunt Gingibread’s Bakery located inside the new Mount Dora Marketplace.  (100 E. 4th Ave., downtown)

Maple Pumpkin Butter 
Who knew toast could be so good?  Julianne's Coastal Cottage sells this heaven-in-a-jar condiment which is to die for when generously applied to toast or ice cream. (135 E. 4th Ave., downtown)

Spicy Pumpkin Bisque
The homemade recipe is absolute perfection at Cody's on 4th.  Grab a bowl on a day with a chill because it has just a little kick.  Be sure to call ahead because it’s a special. (111 E. 4th Ave., downtown) ​
