Apple, pumpkin, pecan — these are a few of our favorite fall flavors. To mark the mid-way point of October, we’re rounding up eight local spots to try their takes on fall treats, both sweet and savory.

Sweet

Niedlov’s Cafe & Bakery | This Southside spot offers daily seasonal baked goods, like the apple danish that City Editor Haley had this week. Be on the lookout for pumpkin cookies + soft pretzels.

Rembrandt’s Coffee House | Head to the Bluff View Art District to pick up the pecan tart made with a sugar dough shell + caramel, or try the toffee walnut bar made with Heath Bar toffee and walnuts.

Pizza Bros | Stop by this pizza joint’s NorthShore, Southside, or East Ridge location to get the apple streusel bread drizzled with icing.

Sleepyhead Coffee | Get your maple fix by trying this coffee shop’s maple cinnamon roll — it’s vegan.

Mmm, good soup.

Savory

Southern Squeeze | It’s soup season and this North Chattanooga spot is serving up butternut soup with rosemary sourdough croutons. Take it from City Editor Haley who worked here, the housemade soup is legendary.

Alleia | Italian cuisine, but make it fall-themed. Order the special on the menu — butternut ravioli with butternut squash and ricotta, paired with a brown butter sauce with crab.

Big Bad Breakfast | Eat chili for breakfast when ordering the limited-time-only chili omelet served with shredded cheddar cheese, green onions + sour cream.

River Drifters | This eatery on Suck Creek Road has a cranberry pecan chicken salad on its menu — perfect for when we transition from fall to winter.

Bonus: Speaking of sweet + savory dishes, we recommend trying out your own skills in the kitchen by taking a class with Sweet and Savory classroom.
