Iced or hot, the caramel apple latte from Red Cat is sure to put you in the fall spirit. They also have a salted caramel latte (one of my all-time faves) and an apple walnut salad if you’re feeling hungry.

4. Big apple cookies from Cookie Fix

It’s not quite time for this one to hit their menu yet, but Cookie Fix usually rolls out their fall menu in early October and we can’t wait for this Big Apple cookie to be back on the weekly rotation. This oatmeal cinnamon cookie is filled with fresh Granny Smith apples, white chocolate, caramel bits and topped with a cinnamon sugar for the perfect crunch.

5. Season guacamole from El Barrio

El Barrio’s seasonal guacamole always hits the spot. They just added their fall special to the menu—a fresh guac featuring green apples, pickled jalepenos and spiced pecans. It has the perfect amount of spice.

6. Suteki roll from Jinsei
