Pumpkin-flavored treats seem to spring up earlier and earlier every year. Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte and Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew returned earlier than ever (Aug. 24), and you can already get your hands on some of these autumn-inspired treats around Oahu.
Otto Cake
Pumpkin shakes ($5) and pumpkin chai cheesecake ($5) will be available at this Kaimuki dessert shop throughout September. Both treats are made with real pumpkin, and all of Otto Cake’s shakes feature housemade ice cream.
Pumpkin chai cheesecakes are available by the slice. Call 808-834-6886 for the day’s featured flavor lineup or follow @ottocake_official on Instagram.
Fun fact: Otto Cake features more than 200 cheesecake flavors, which rotate daily.

Anna Miller’s
Pumpkin pie might be a seasonal item at some restaurants, but not so at Anna Miller’s.

Pumpkin pies cost $11.95, and $12.95 with whipped topping.
Pro tip: Keep your eyes peeled for Anna Miller’s seasonal pumpkin cheesecake, which usually returns around Thanksgiving.
The bakery is open daily from noon to 7 p.m.
