We may be nearing the end of pumpkin season, but for some people you can never have too much pumpkin spice. Across the region, you’ll find so many options to enjoy this festive fall flavor. Whether it’s doughnuts and crepes or churros and slushies, you can find delicious pumpkin spice desserts at these NoVA establishments.
Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken
You can now enjoy a sweet pie for breakfast, minus the judgment, thanks to the pumpkin pie doughnut.

Bilstad’s Beignets
While we are sad to say goodbye to the apple cider beignet, we know the pumpkin beignet will be just as declicious. Topped with powdered sugar, make sure to grab the pumpkin variation while it’s hot. These will only be available until Thanksgiving. 20937 Ashburn Rd., Ste. 150, Ashburn
Crepe Amour
It may look like a piece of pie, but Crepe Amour’s pumpkin crepe might taste even better. The fall special is filled with a housemade pumpkin filling, cinnamon nutmeg, natural cane sugar, and crumbled graham crackers. The orange crepe is then topped with whipped cream. If that isn’t enough pumpkin spice, order the pumpkin macarons or enjoy a hot pumpkin spice latte. 407 Maple Ave. E., Vienna

Churros are great, but the pumpkin version might be even better. For a limited time, both Urbano locations are serving pumpkin churros with cream cheese sauce. Make sure to pair it with the pumpkin spice margarita (the adult version of the pumpkin spice latte), for a true fall treat. 116 King St., Alexandria; 2985 District Ave., Fairfax
