Fall in Indiana is beautiful but fall in Hendricks County, Indiana, is beautiful and delicious!

Many local shops create special, fall-inspired dishes only available for a limited time. This isn't intended to be a comprehensive list, but here are a few I recommend you try this season:

1. Fall-Flavored Flights

The September Cold Brew Flight at Best Friends Coffee & Bagels

You can grab fall-inspired flights of cookies at Creation Cookie Cafe in Danville or a cold brew flight at Best Friends Coffee & Bagels in Brownsburg. 

Both are great ways to taste multiple fall flavors at once! Oh, and they have breakfast items too! 

2.Fall-Flavored Ice Cream

Pumpkin Flavor Ice Cream at Danville DIPS

Cool down on those random warm days that pop up in Indiana's fall weather with fall-flavored ice cream!

Mandy's Ice Cream offers a variety of flavors but they bring out their fall flavors in September and October. You can also try pumpkin flavor ice cream at Danville DIPS.

3. Grab Fall Treats On the Go

The Great Pumpkin at Fields Coffee

You don't even need to get out of your car to grab these sweet treats!

Grab fall-flavored drinks at Fields Coffee in Danville inside or through their drive through, or grab a Pumpkin Palomino at Cabin Coffee Company in Avon or Plainfield.

4. Local Bakery Favorites

Bread Basket Cafe & Bakery rolls out their fall creations after Labor Day each year. You can order online or grab some while you dine in. The Singing Crust in Clayton creates delicious S'more and Pumpkin bars. You can get individual bars and slices of pie or pick up a larger portion to share. 

Last year, the corn cookie with buttercream icing at Mama Bird Bakery was delicious and shouldn't be missed this year!

5. Apple Cider

Cider at Beasley's

Many local places team up with Beasley's Orchard to create some apple and cider flavored treats, so be on the lookout for those collaborations.

Or you can just go to the orchard and purchase apple and cider treats while enjoying their fall festivals.
