When it comes to seasonal food trends, there's evidence consumers are experiencing pumpkin spice fatigue. It's also true quite a few Mashed readers say apple is the best fall flavor, but we're not ready to bid farewell to pumpkin-flavored treats just yet. While the trend may have slowed a bit, there are lots of tasty new pumpkin baked goods hitting stores and restaurants in 2026. Based on customer responses, we curated a selection of the best new bakery items to buy this season. 

Our list includes autumnal goodies from Panera Bread, Sam's Club, Trader Joe's, and Costco. There are cakes, pastries, oat snacks, and pumpkin-infused sourdough bread. Where possible, we included links to products, along with their price, for easy purchasing. However, we don't know if these items are available at all locations nationwide. And because these are seasonal items, they'll likely only be available for a limited time. We don't know what the future holds for pumpkin as the leading fall flavor, but tasty bakery treats like these will never go out of style. 

Panera's Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll takes a classic bakery treat and pumpkinizes it with tasty results. The roll comes with a cinnamon sugar and pumpkin filling, as well as a topping of pumpkin spice icing. When a curious consumer on Reddit asked whether the pastry was worth buying, a commenter replied, "YES BRO IT'S SO GOOD," while another person said, "So good I had one for breakfast yesterday." Packages of four cost $10.99.

Made fresh in Sam's Club stores on a daily basis, Member's Mark Pumpkin Cream Cheese Blondies offer a homemade experience without the effort. "Pumpkin spice perfection," declared one customer review, while another shopper said, "These are amazing and full of flavor."

When a Redditor asked for the best Costco cake recommendation, one commenter had a fall-themed suggestion at the ready. "This one is seasonal, but the pumpkin bar," the person said, highlighting the decadent spiced sponge cake, cream cheese frosting, and pumpkin mousse filling that goes into this dessert. Here are some more standout Costco cakes in 2026 to look for the next time you're at the store. 

"Caramel pumpkin slice from heaven!" exclaimed a Panera fan on Reddit. "Panera's caramel pumpkin spice bread has me in a chokehold," they said, reminiscing about their great grandmother's pumpkin loaf. The cake is a mix of pumpkin spice, vanilla, brown sugar, and salted caramel flavors and is topped with a pumpkin spice icing. 

Part of the reason pumpkin spice is a beloved flavor of fall is that it eases the transition between warm summer weather and chillier conditions. That brings us to Member's Mark Pumpkin Spice Latte Bar Cake from Sam's Club, which one review characterized as, "Super moist and flavorful. Not overly spiced, just enough. The frosting is light and fluffy, and also not super sweet."

A Redditor and Trader Joe's fan said of this Sliced Pumpkin Sourdough Bread, "It was so delicious! Chewy and lightly flavored." Another commenter stated it makes an excellent French toast, with the suggestion, "Topped with brown butter, pumpkin butter, and maple syrup," (and here's an air fryer French toast recipe if you'd like to try it yourself). This fall-themed bread retails for $4.99 at Trader Joe's and is available for a limited time.
