Why Ice Cream Belongs In the Fall

 
 
 

When the air turns crisp and the leaves start to change, many people turn to hot drinks and baked goods. At our Rittenhouse shop, we love cozy fall coffee and pastries just as much as you do. But we also believe fall is one of the best seasons for ice cream. A scoop (or a sandwich) fits right alongside your favorite autumn rituals, and we’ve got the flavors to prove it.

Seasonal Flavors Shine

Fall ingredients are some of the most inspiring for ice cream makers. At our shops, you’ll find creations like Pumpkin Mocha Stracciatella, Vegan Spiced Pumpkin, Spiced Apple Bread Pudding, Black Sesame Cookie Butter, Bacon Sweet Potato, Almond Croissant, and S’mores. And that’s just the beginning… many more flavors will be rolling out in the coming weeks, each one rooted in the season and perfectly pairing with the creamy richness of ice cream.

Perfect For Pie

While we’re all for a fall solo scoop, ice cream is also the best friend of pie, and fall is pie season. A scoop of vanilla or cinnamon ice cream on warm apple or pecan pie makes the dessert even more indulgent. The same goes for crisps, cobblers, and bread pudding. Ice cream adds balance and makes each bite more memorable. It’s the perfect addition to fall festivities, dinners, and parties, adding balance and making every bite more memorable.

Coffee & Ice Cream

At our Rittenhouse shop, our coffee menu is a perfect match for the season. Our espresso drinks, pour overs, and fall-inspired specialties bring out new layers of flavor when paired with ice cream. An affogato (a shot of rich espresso poured over a scoop of ice cream) is one of the coziest fall treats around. Whether you’re stopping in for a latte, a seasonal specialty drink, or just a quick espresso, pairing it with a scoop or sandwich takes the moment to the next level.

Not Just a Summer Treat

Ice cream isn’t limited to hot weather. Cold air outside means you don’t have to rush before your scoop melts, and there’s something special about enjoying ice cream in a cozy sweater. Our fall menu gives you even more reasons to stop by and try limited-time flavors that only come around once a year.
