Pumpkin flavor is back everywhere, and we are so excited to try new drinks, dishes, and desserts in our favorite fall flavor. It may still be warm, but that does not mean we are not in the fall spirit. San Diego has some of the best pumpkin flavored foods for anyone who is obsessed with this fall flavor. We have found a few dishes we are super excited to try. What is your favorite pumpkin item? Share with your friends at Ariva.

Azucar

Azucar is located on Newport Avenue in Ocean Beach, but it is well worth the drive. You can sample many different options of fall flavors at Azucar. Try a cupcake with bold spices and cream cheese frosting. This pumpkin cake has a delicious pumpkin flan custard topping. Then, it is finished off by a salty-sweet and slightly bitter pumpkin seed brittle.

Bencotto Italian Kitchen

For more of a pumpkin flavored meal, head to Bencotto Italian Kitchen. We are so excited to try the pumpkin ravioli. This dish consists of sweet pumpkin-filled pasta in a sage cream sauce with crispy bites of bacon. It is all of your favorite fall flavors in one dish. All of Bencotto's pasta is made fresh daily for each customer. Bencotto is located on W. First Street in Little Italy.

Gelato Vero Caffe

It is still warm out, so maybe you need a cold pumpkin treat. The Gelato Vero Caffe is the perfect cafe to treat your pumpkin craving.  Their gelato is the equivalent of a rich pumpkin pie filling. This cold treat is perfect for a warm fall day in San Diego. Gelato Vero Caffee is located at 3753 India Street in Mission Hills.

Dark Horse Coffee Roasters

We love starting our mornings with a rich warm coffee. Dark Horse Coffee Roasters is not your average pumpkin spiced latte. They have coffee on tap. This is the base for their fall flavors. The coffee ends up being smooth, creamy and dessert-like without being too sweet. Dark Horse is located at Adams Avenue in Normal Heights.

These are just a few of the delicious cafes and restaurants in San Diego that will satisfy your pumpkin craving. This fall go find your new favorite way to eat pumpkin.
