It is officially the ‘ber months! September, October, November, and December, in my opinion, are the greatest months of the year. It gets a little chilly, but I love the crispness of the air. It really is a wonderful time, especially when all the seasonal treats return to the menus! For this post, I wanted to shed light on some of the delicious seasonal treats that the Greater Lafayette area has to offer!

Fuel Coffee Shop
The first place I went to was Fuel Coffee Shop. I ordered a pumpkin muffin and the “Great Pumpkin” coffee, which is described on their website to taste like pumpkin pie in a cup, and it did! The pumpkin muffin was really lovely as well!
Greyhouse Coffee
The next place I went to was Greyhouse Coffee. I ordered their caramel apple cider. You can get it hot or iced but I got it iced. I really enjoyed this drink because while I’ve had cider before, I’ve never had it with caramel; it was a unique addition!
Silver Dipper
The last place I went to was Silver Dipper. There were so many options to choose from. There was “Snap-O-Lantern,” pumpkin ice cream with gingersnap cookies. Ultimately, I decided to go with the “Witches Brew,” a pumpkin and espresso blend. I would have to say this treat was my favorite. It was wicked good, pun intended 🙂
Bonus: Hammer Donuts
Hammer Donuts is also a great place to go to for fall treats every year. They have apple pie donuts, pumpkin pie donuts, and many Halloween-themed donuts, like a ghost donut!

Overall, I really enjoyed this experience and recommend all of these treats/shops. Make sure to check out the rest of the Home of Purdue Blog to see what else the Greater Lafayette area has to offer!
