Fall has officially arrived in Nashville, which means — love it or hate it — it’s time for the ubiquitous pumpkin spice latte. Instead of waiting in a lengthy Starbucks drive-thru line for this classic autumn flavor combo, head to one of these Nashville restaurants for a taste of warming spices served in a variety of creative forms, ranging from savory to sweet.

From PSL ice cream to doughnuts and cocktails, these 14 pumpkin-spiked dishes and drinks available right now at Nashville restaurants are the perfect way to welcome fall, plus a bonus of one-off available at pop-ups or one-night only.

Levon Wallace has repeated his special seasonal pumpkin FatBelly pretzel, rolled in cinna-sugar spice served with whippy cream cheese frosting.

Popular doughnut purveyors Conny and Jonny offers up a vanilla-glazed pumpkin old-fashioned doughnut, available for preorder and until they sell out at Crema, The Loading Dock, Tempo, Barista Parlor, Cafe Roze, and more.

Aaron Distler of Mr. Aaron’s Goods sells special Halloween-themed pumpkin and squid ink rigatoni.

Follow along with all of the above on social media for ordering and other information.
