Fall is most definitely upon us. The days are getting shorter, the nights longer, the leaves are turning, and our food and beverage options are becoming increasingly fall-themed. Indeed, many local eateries have jumped at the chance to offer their customers a range of new and exciting eats and drinks, incorporating ingredients that are affiliated with the changing season.
Embracing fall, here is a list of Vancouver-based eateries offering seasonal treats and fall-flavoured goodies.
Giovane Café

In addition to their signature buns, which are delightfully soft, pillowy and filled with a vanilla pastry cream, Giovane Café will be offering pumpkin, apple pie, and mint (After 8) flavoured buns, as well as sugar dusted ginger cookies.

Beaucoup Bakery is celebrating the change in season by adding two warm and welcoming fall-themed treats to their menu.

Torched Italian meringue is the final touch. To compliment the tart, Beaucoup Bakery is pouring a Pumpkin Spice Latte, which is comprised of 49th Parallel espresso, Avalon milk and a house-made pumpkin sauce.
