For the love of pumpkin: the 411 on all things pumpkin in Greenville
Gabrielle Fanelli, Associate Writer
It�s November. Halloween is over, so your pumpkin carving and jack-o-lanterns are no longer needed. Pumpkin flavors and scents, however, are still more delicious and refreshing than ever.
Although the pumpkin spiced latte is a beloved favorite during this season, it�s not the only thing at Shots CoffeeHaus that can fufill your pumpkin cravings.
Shots Coffee Haus offers a dreamy Pumpkin cheesecake made locally by Old World Pastries. The dessert is made with a ginger cookie crust and a spiced swiss butter cream. Shots is located across from Fairview Baptist Church and is open until 5 p.m . You can enjoy this scrumptious treat with free wifi and comfy couches.
It�s easy to think about eating and drinking pumpkin sweets but what about wearing them? We’re not exactly implying that you should wear a pumpkin or a shirt with a pumpkin on it, but more so suggesting you use Tiny House Big Farm Pumpkin Cheesecake Organic Soap. Tiny House is a local soap maker that has all of the scents you can dream of. I purchased mine for $6, as well as a pumpkin cheesecake bath bomb to go with it. You can find these handmade soaps by visiting www.tinyhousebigfarm.com
We cannot forget about breakfast. Every year, Ihop and Denny�s offer their limited edition pumpkin pie pancakes. This year, our own Tandem Creperie in downtown Traverlers Rest is offering a Pumpkin Pie Crepe with pumpkin and graham crackers, topped with whipped cream, pecans and maple vanilla syrup. You can get all of this for $6 and pair it with a warm spiced chai latte.
This local pumpkin-lover’s purchase is not edible but you will definitely wish it was. Modern Forestry has created a Pumpkin Streusel Soy Candle. Its smell reminds me of a twist between pumpkin pie and brown sugar. The scent is irresistible. You can pick yours up at Foodies located in downtown Greer or at Modern Forestry for $10.
Support local shops and enjoy your favorite pumpkin flavors and scents this holiday season.
