Where to Find the Best Fall Foods in Minneapolis
One of the best things about fall in Minneapolis? The food. Some of these flavors only make an appearance during this time of year, and we're taking advantage. Think pumpkin, apple, chai, squash, and even poached pears. From cozy comfort foods to sweet treats, here are our favorite fall menu items in Minneapolis.
Last updated on 10/2/25. This page will be updated as seasonal menu items are released.
The Main Course
Ravioli di Zucca from Broders Pasta Bar
Broders' seasonal favorite is back. The Ravioli di Zucca features butternut squash, almonds, sage, parmigiano reggiano and pepitas encased in house-made egg pasta.
Anything From Owamni's Ptanyetu (Fall) Menu
Fall is here, and Owamni has a new seasonal menu divided into three parts: wathotho (plant), thado (game) and waksika thanka (to share). Notable highlights include the Three Sisters Stew, carrot tartare, turkey taco, elk poyha, smoked rack of elk and stuffed pumpkin. The cuisine at Owamni is free of colonial ingredients such as wheat flour, cane sugar and dairy.
Don't be a Brat Sportz Pizza from Wrecktangle Pizza
We all know football season is the epitome of fall...so what if a pizza encapsulated your favorite game day appetizers? Wrecktangle Pizza created the very special Sportz Pizza to munch on as you watch the game. This Detroit-style pizza is loaded with Kramarczuk's Polish sausage, caramelized onion, cheddar jack cheese, pickled mustard seed and parsley.
Pumpkin Pancakes from The Freehouse
A seasonal breakfast done right. Fluffy pumpkin pancakes with a pecan topping and whipped cream (and don't forget the maple syrup). Enjoy brunch on their tree covered patio and enjoy the fall foliage.
The Butternut Squash from Pizza Luce
The Butternut Squash pizza comes topped with Pizza Luce's special Bianca sauce, fresh garlic, crushed red chilis, provolone and parmesan cheese, green onion, dollops of coconut-infused mashed butternut squash and applewood smoked bacon.
For the Sweet Tooth
Caramel Apple Cheesecake Donut from Glam Doll Donuts
Glam Doll is the place to go for creative donut concoctions, and their fall specials are no different. The caramel apple cheesecake donut is what really caught our eye. A donut filled with vanilla cheesecake, vanilla icing, and baked apples. Pumpkin spice fans should try the pumpkin chai donut.
Cinnamon Apple Roll from Hen House
What's even better than a cinnamon roll? A cinnamon APPLE roll. A gooey cinnamon bun baked fresh daily, stuffed with baked apples and topped with a sweet glaze. Big enough to share, but once you take a bite you won't want to.
"Pumpkin Becky" from Bebe Zito Ice Cream
The wild ice cream creations at Bebe Zito are always fun and delicious and this fall season line-up doesn't disappoint. Our must-try is the Pumpkin Becky, a roasted pumpkin base with cafe miel sauce drizzled throughout, pumpkin cheesecake chunks, topped with additional miel sauce and pecans.
As the season changes so does the menu, so lookout for more festive flavors announced on their Instagram page.
Seasonal Drinks
Pumpkin Spice Lawsuit from Five Watt Coffee
It's pumpkin spice season...you either love it or you hate it. At Five Watt Coffee in Kingfield and Northeast Minneapolis, order their take on the classic pumpkin spice latte, made with real pumpkin puree and topped with whipped cream and cinnamon. If a PSL isn't your style, try their Chiander - a steamy chai with apple and vanilla.
Witches Cauldron Matcha from Falls Coffee
This matcha latte was made with magic, because how else could it taste so good? The Witches Cauldron Matcha at Falls Coffee features blackberry matcha with cream cheese cold foam. For more cozy flavors, try the Hocus Pocus Latte — a salted caramel and maple syrup latte with salted caramel cream cheese foam.
Sage Against the Machine from Spyhouse Coffee
Spyhouse is one of the most popular coffee shops in the Twin Cities. You can't beat their expertly crafted lattes and espresso, but the seasonal menu items are also a delight. This year, try the Sage Against the Machine — a caramel latte with housemade sage-infused pecan syrup, topped with a sprig of sage.
Pumpkin Patch Chai from Backstory Coffee Roasters
To truly take a sip of autumn, head to Backstory Coffee Roasters in the North Loop. The Pumpkin Patch Chai features locally-brewed masala chai, brown sugar pumpkin syrup, your choice of milk and a dash of Backstory's signature BCR Spice blend. Add espresso if you're looking for an extra boost.
