I think everyone, especially in California, loves Trader Joes. Maybe it is for their prices, maybe it is because everything there is made by the store, or maybe you love it because of its seasonal treats! Trader Joes is very well known for their fall flavored snacks that they sell during this time of year. I decided to go inside Trader Joes to buy some of the most popular fall food items from Trader Joes to see what all the real hype was about. 

Now that I was back home, it was time to taste all of the foods! Here are her ratings for each food and a description along with it!

Pumpkin Spice Mini Sheet Cake – 9/10

This was one of my favorite foods to start off with. She had never tried the famous pumpkin spice mini sheet cake despite hearing about it from many people such as her peers, but also hearing a lot about it from tiktok! The frosting on top was a buttercream with a hint of spice, but it also tasted like a cream cheese frosting at the same time! The cake was moist and very delicious.

Pumpkin Ice Cream – 7/10

I had heard a lot about this pumpkin ice cream because her little sister always eats it at home. However, I never tried it, so she thought this was the perfect opportunity to finally give it a taste. When she tried it, she thought it was good overall; definitely popular with anyone who likes pumpkin flavored cheesecake because it reminded her of that. She gave it a seven out of ten just because there were other things on her list that she found much tastier!

Pumpkin Bagels with Pumpkin Cream Cheese – 9/10

I love bagels with cream cheese, in fact she eats one almost every single day. Whenever fall season comes around, she is always finding the pumpkin bagels with pumpkin cream cheese from Trader Joes! The pumpkin bagel is delicious, and it tastes like fall in your mouth and is especially delicious when toasted. However, the pumpkin cream cheese is what really sets this duo over the edge. The cream cheese tastes like a pumpkin flavored dessert for breakfast, and she loves it. 

Pumpkin Biscotti – 6/10

This may be a little bit of a biased rating on my part just because she is not a big fan of the Italian biscotti dessert. However, she had to give credit for the fact that this was the best biscotti she ever tasted (she is just not a big fan). It is perfect for fall snacking, and this crunchy cookie has all the tastes of pumpkin puree and cinnamon all in one bite!

White Stilton Cheese with Apple and Pear – 8.5/10

I wanted to try something that was not a very dessert type of food to spice things up, and she went right to their fall flavored cheese! Cheese sometimes is not a popular snack, but I loves a good charcuterie board, so she was very interested to try this! The notes of apple and pear were subtle in the white stilton cheese, and it was the perfect balance between sweet and savory! The overall flavor was light, creamy, and a little bit of fruity, and it was delicious!

I think the general consensus is to say that I will definitely be going back to Trader Joes very soon! In fact, everyone should try Trader Joes’ fall foods before they are no longer in stock. “
