For Instagram-worthy food, head to The Glass Knife. You won’t be disappointed. Alongside scrumptious desserts, the restaurant also serves breakfast, lunch, evening bites and weekend brunch.

Either way, you’ll be satisfied.

You can’t go wrong with classic Bundt Cakes, and this next shop has certainly got them covered. They serve bite-sized treats and 10-inch tiered creations, coming in a variety of different flavours such as white chocolate raspberry, confetti and carrot. However, their seasonal pumpkin spice flavour is the flavour we pair most with these autumn days, and soon you will do too.
Dairy Queen - 6321A International Drive
The Blizzards at Dairy Queen are already a fan favourite, and each fall, the company mixes up their menu with a brand new autumn menu. This year, dive into Snickerdoodle cookie dough, harvest berry pie, Heath caramel brownie, Snickers and… pumpkin pie! Customers love it, as it features actual pumpkin puree rather than just pumpkin spice (as many drinks/treats do), giving it a rich, autumnal flavour.
