16 Trader Joe's Pumpkin Finds To Look For This Fall 2026
Pumpkin season is here (although the flavor has been here for a while already). Before even a whiff of a cool breeze hits, stores and coffee shops break out the pumpkin spice recipes to get ready for the seasonal change in our cravings. One store that does the flavor especially well is Trader Joe's. The grocery store known for its nautical, tiki theme embraces seasonality — pumpkin isn't the only autumnal flavor the company leans into, as this list of Trader Joe's fall breakfast items can attest.
We harvested this list of pumpkin-flavored items by searching the internet for what TJ's fans love — and through our own experiences — with these seasonal treats. You'll find almost anything you can imagine pumpkin-flavored — even moisturizing hand cream, which didn't make our edible-specific list. What you will find in our roundup are classics like bagels, bread, cheesecake, and ice cream; fun twists like samosas, gnocchi, and blondies; and pumpkin to the max with the pumpkin-spiced pumpkin seeds. All the items here are already in stores across the country, but prices may vary. These are seasonal, so if anything looks good to you, pick it up sooner rather than later.
Pumpkin Spiced Pumpkin Seeds
You can get the pulp of the pumpkin mixed with warming spices anywhere, but Trader Joe's also covers the seeds with the same mix. These pepitas are roasted, then covered in a butter-sugar toffee glaze and seasoned with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice. They work great as a salad topper, a part of a charcuterie board, or simply as a snack. If you don't get to a TJ's in time and can't wait until next year, you can also find people reselling them on eBay.
An 8-ounce bag of pumpkin spiced pumpkin seeds is $3.99 at Trader Joe's.
Pumpkin Bagels (Plus Gluten Free)
Made with pumpkin flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, Trader Joe's pumpkin bagels let you start your day with the feeling of fall. The gluten-free version uses potato starch and brown rice flour. Toast one of these bagels, then add a generous layer of the pumpkin cream cheese spread to double down on the autumn breakfast. You can easily make your own pumpkin cream cheese if your local TJ's is out.
A bag of six pumpkin bagels from Trader Joe's is $2.99; the gluten-free version is $4.99 for a bag of four.
Pumpkin Cheesecake
Pumpkin purée and fall spices join the rich and tangy cream cheese to make this cheesecake. You can find the dessert in the freezer aisle; to thaw it out, leave it in the fridge overnight or on the counter for four hours. Top with whipped cream, or go further into indulgence with a layer of Trader Joe's cookie butter, which is full of the warming spices that pair so well with pumpkin.
A package of this 30-ounce pumpkin cheesecake runs $8.99 at your local TJ's.
Pumpkin Gnocchi
Pumpkin isn't just about sweets. Pumpkin gnocchi proves this daring hypothesis by bringing the gourd to the dinner menu. The pasta was called a "must try" and "very light and fluffy" on Reddit, where commenters discussed good sauces to use. Both a simple butter sauce and Trader Joe's Autumnal Harvest Sauce were mentioned as tasty additions. This is a quick dish: Boil these little orange guys in salted water for just two minutes, toss them in a sauce, and dinner is ready.
The Pumpkin Gnocchi is on sale at Trader Joe's for $3.29.
Pumpkin Ice Cream
Trader Joe's sells one of my favorite pumpkin ice creams on the market thanks to its warming spice flavor. Reddit reviewers agree, with the poster giving it a "10/10" and a commenter calling it "My fave seasonal pumpkin product of all time!" Another commenter doubles down on the flavor by scooping it onto warm pumpkin coffee cake. The grocery store mixes pumpkin purée, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves into a premium base to make this thick, creamy ice cream.
Trader Joe's Pumpkin Ice Cream sells for $4.99 a quart.
Pumpkin Brioche Twist
Spiced pumpkin purée and buttery brioche twist together to make this seasonal Trader Joe's bread. Heat it up with some butter for an easy snack. If you want to up your weekend breakfast game, make your French toast using this pre-sliced bread. We even have this on our list of Trader Joe's pumpkin picks that work well for dinner, thanks to the added dimension it will bring to your grilled cheese and croutons.
This Pumpkin Brioche Twist has nine slices for $4.99 at Trader Joe's.
Pumpkin Blondie Brownies
"Anybody else eat half the package in one day?" asked a Reddit poster after picking up Trader Joe's pumpkin blondie brownies. Moist and cakey, these brownies include pecans and white chocolate chips with the usual pumpkin purée and spices. The poster went into more detail, writing that the treat is "way more cakelike than a brownie" and that "it wasn't too sweet and the pumpkin flavor was very subtle." Overall? "10/10."
Find an eight-pack of Pumpkin Blondie Brownies at your local Trader Joe's for $4.99.
Pumpkin Streusel Muffins
Start your autumn mornings with a rich, pumpkin-y muffin topped with an oaty, buttery streusel topping. Warm it up and add a pat of butter to melt into the top on especially cold, hard-to-get-out-of-bed days. These muffins are made with white and brown rice flours, corn starch, and tapioca starch, which means they are gluten-free. One poster on Reddit was surprised, writing: "I wouldn't have thought the muffins were gluten[-]free if it didn't say it on the packaging."
A four-pack of Pumpkin Streusel Muffins costs $5.99 at Trader Joe's.
Mini Spicy Pumpkin Samosas
Even Indian samosas get a fall twist at Trader Joe's. Paneer (an Indian unaged cheese) and pumpkin replace the more common potato and peas. The filling is spiced with savory warming spices that include garam masala, cumin, coriander, chili powder, and fennel. Reddit commenters call these crispy little samosas "flavorful and savory," "delicious fall snacking fun," and "Soooo good." They describe the spice level as equivalent to the chicken tikka samosas. You'll find them in the freezer section.
At Trader Joe's, a box of 12 Mini Spicy Pumpkin Samosas runs $4.49.
Honey Roasted Pumpkin Ravioli (Plus Gluten-Free)
A mix of sweet and savory, this ravioli is stuffed with pumpkin roasted with honey, brown sugar, and molasses; ricotta; and mozzarella. These ravioli are also available in a gluten-free option made with potato and tapioca starch pasta. Posters on Reddit recommend a variety of sauce options: "Salted butter, chopped pecans, and a splash of bourbon," "brown butter and mushroom sauce," and TJ's Autumn Harvest Creamy Pasta sauce. These ravioli were a hit in our ranking of Trader Joe's pumpkin picks for dinner, where we recommended just a little butter and parmesan.
A package of Honey Roasted Pumpkin Ravioli from Trader Joe's is $3.99; the gluten-free version is $4.49.
Pumpkin Joe-Joe's Cookies
A seasonal variation of the Joe-Joe's cookies – Trader Joe's take on the Oreo, one of the company's top copycat products – this version uses vanilla cookies sandwiching a pumpkin crème filling made with actual pumpkin purée. Warm cinnamon and nutmeg round out the fall seasoning. Eat them with coffee, dunk them in milk, or just enjoy them on their own. Just remember, these are only available for a limited time.
A box of 20 Pumpkin Joe-Joe's Cookies costs $2.99 at your local Trader Joe's.
Pumpkin Spiced Teeny Tiny Pretzels
Trader Joe's covers salty mini pretzels with a yogurt coating flavored with pumpkin spice, then dusts them with all the classic pumpkin pie spices, lemon peel, and crumbled bits of the store's Pumpkin Spiced Pumpkin Seeds. The result is a mix of textures and tastes that people on Reddit warn is "slightly addicting, and you may eat the entire bag in one sitting." Buying one bag at a time may be the safest bet.
Trader Joe's sells a bag of Pumpkin Spiced Teeny Tiny Pretzels for $3.49.
Pumpkin Spice Mini Sheet Cake
I've stood at multiple fall parties talking about how good TJ's pumpkin spice sheet cake is while quietly putting another slice on my plate. The cake is moist with a strong pumpkin spice flavor and the cream cheese frosting is rich and tangy. Our guide shows you how to stack and cut them into individual circular treats for a more impressive presentation.
An 18-ounce tray of the Pumpkin Spice Mini Sheet Cake at Trader Joe's costs $5.99.
Pumpkin Spiced Joe-Joe's Sandwich Cookies
Trader Joe's takes its pumpkin Joe-Joe's cookies and enrobes them in a yogurt-flavored coating with pumpkin spice and a sprinkle of sea salt to cut through the sweetness. This takes the simple cookie and turns it into a decadent treat. The cookie is an autumn version of the store's popular chocolate peanut butter-dipped Joe-Joe's, which ranked among the best in our list of Trader Joe's best (and worst) cookies according to customer reviews.
A box of 11 Pumpkin Spiced Joe-Joe's Sandwich Cookies from Trader Joe's costs $4.49.
Glazed Pumpkin Pie Spice Donut Holes
Pumpkin pie-spiced donuts are a hallmark of fall. Donut shops without the flavor have likely lost track of the seasons. Made with tapioca starch, rice flour, corn starch, and pumpkin purée, these donuts are gluten-free and dairy-free. On Reddit, people call them "A problem," because they're too delicious. The treat is sweet, cakey, and ready to eat with a mug of hot coffee. That is, if the donut makes it home — "I just ate a bunch in the car on the way home," wrote a poster.
Trader Joe's Glazed Pumpkin Pie Spice Donut Holes are $3.49 for a 6-ounce package.
La Colombe Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew Latte
Medium-roast cold brew is mixed with pumpkin purée, frothed milk, and warming spices to make a classic pumpkin spice latte with La Colombe's seasonal brew. In between stops at your favorite coffee chain for pumpkin coffee drinks, you can keep cans of these lattes on hand to caffeinate you through your day. Trader Joe's recommends you pour it over its pumpkin ice cream for one final pumpkin-on-pumpkin binge. Why not top the whole thing with the pumpkin spice pumpkin seeds to make it a full fall Bacchanal?
A single can of La Colombe Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew Latte from Trader Joe's runs $2.99.
