Fall is here, and Auburn is buzzing with delicious seasonal flavors! From cozy pumpkin treats to hearty meals, there’s plenty to enjoy in this charming town.
Southern Greens
At Southern Greens Cafe and Market, you can dive into the spirit of autumn. This spot, which opened in September, has quickly become a favorite for customizable meals and easy “take and bake” options. Until December 1, try their harvest squash soup or roasted winter veggie salad. Their standout sandwich, the Weekender, is packed with turkey, cranberry sauce, and stuffing—essentially Thanksgiving on bread! They also serve delicious pumpkin spice rolls and cheesecake muffins from their sister bakery, Boulangerie.
Beignets and Brew
Just across the street is Beignets and Brew, which opened in March. They feature unique pumpkin Biscoff beignets—a sweet treat made with cookie butter and pumpkin icing. And for Halloween, they’ll have mummy beignets, complete with icing bandages and candy eyes, available from October 22 to 31.
The Depot
At The Depot, fall flavors shine in every dish. Their seasonal soup uses locally foraged lion’s mane mushrooms and Wagyu beef. Try the autumn cyprus harvest salad with roasted butternut squash and Brussels sprouts. For a filling meal, consider their seared salmon with roasted root vegetables.
Well Red
For book lovers and treat enthusiasts, Well Red is the perfect spot. With three locations, they offer a variety of pumpkin-flavored goodies, including gluten-free chocolate pumpkin pie bars. They also have cinnamon scones and gingersnap cookies for those looking for something different.
Dani’s Cheesecake
Don’t miss Dani’s Cheesecake, famous for its no-bake cheesecakes that come in jars and last six to nine months in the freezer. New seasonal flavors include turtle and sweet potato soufflé. Owner Danielle Moore often takes customer suggestions for flavors, showing her commitment to the community.
This fall, Auburn offers a delightful mix of flavors and experiences, perfect for celebrating the season. Whether you crave sweet treats or savory dishes, these local spots provide something special to savor.
