Celebrate Fall Flavors at SEA

You may have noticed that cooler weather and shorter days are here. We're cocooning in our fuzzy sweaters, boots, and pumpkin-flavored everything and turning up that thermostat.

While some (eyeroll) dread the abundance of pumpkin spice-infused treats and products this time of year, SEA Airport dining and retail vendors are embracing the season. If pumpkin is what you're craving — or if you yearn for caramel, cinnamon, and pecan — here's your hit list for fall flavors at SEA.

Lucky Louie Fish Shack

Central Terminal. Lucky Louie Fish Shack is celebrating harvest season and the late summer bounty with all things pickle, available through October. Fill up before your flight with a Chicky BLT Pickle Sandwich or a Crispy Salmon BLT Pickle Sandwich, filled with a choice of crispy chicken or battered Alaska salmon, along with bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickle aioli, and dill pickles on a brioche bun. Top it off with a briny, sweet, and deliciously weird pickle frozen lemonade. 

If more traditional fall flavors are your jam, starting late October, celebrate sweater weather with the Pumpkin Spice Swirl, available at the end of October. The tasty treat blends vanilla soft serve, pumpkin spice, and graham cracker crust with all the nostalgia of holiday pie. Also, keep an eye out for the Iced Pumpkin Spiced Latte, coming soon.

Floret

A Gates. This plant-based café offers the choice to sit and linger or swing by the espresso bar if you're in a rush. Floret makes its own pumpkin spice for lattes as well as house-made pumpkin bread for a cozy pick-me-up. Or slurp an iced cinnamon toast crunch latte for a cool, caffeinated treat.

LouLou Market and Bar

B Gates. Tantalize your tastebuds at this French-meets-PNW eatery with three new fall-themed cocktails and a wine selection (collectively called the “Monster Mash”). Sip a Mummified Mule with bourbon, cream of coconut, cinnamon syrup, lime juice, bitters, and club soda; The Soldier, a Cabernet Sauvignon from Columbia Valley, Washington;  Rum Reaper with rum, Licor 43, banana puree, cream of coconut, pineapple and lemon juice; or a Patronus Espresso with Patron XO Café, Licor 43, Amaro Montenegro liqueur, coffee, and espresso beans.   

Seattle Chocolate

C Gates. Made just a few miles from the airport, Seattle Chocolate covers your sweet tooth with fall flavors like Pumpkin Spice Chai, Apple Cider Donuts, Maple Bourbon milk chocolate, and truffle bars. Grab a Harvest Bounty Bonbon Mix to make your carry-on just a little sweeter.

Seattle Macaron Co.

C Concourse. Visit family-owned Seattle Macaron Co. and peruse rows of vivid, delicate macarons from Lady Yum. Indulge in fall flavors like Gooey Butter Cake (cake crust topped with a cream cheese layer), Pear Frangipane (pear and almond filling), and Apple Cider Donut (cinnamon sugar, tart apple, and warm spices).

Starbucks

Multiple locations. The pioneer of the pumpkin spice latte (PSL) since its 2003 debut, Starbucks continues to expand its menu for fall fanatics. Stop by for the classic PSL or try the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai, Iced Pumpkin Cream Matcha, or the Iced Pumpkin Cream Shaken Espresso. Cozy up with the Iced Banana Bread Chai and Iced Banana Bread Latte. Or go nuts with the Pecan Oat Milk Cortado, Pecan Crunch Oat Milk Latte, or the Iced Pecan Crunch Oat Milk Latte.

Craving something fall-flavored to munch on? Try the pumpkin and pepita loaf, baked apple croissant with warm apple filling, hedgehog cake pop, or salty and sweet pumpkin cream cheese muffin.

Natalie’s Candy Jar

N Gates. Natalie’s Candy Jar carries over 400 varieties of conventional, nostalgic, and hard-to-find candies to meet every whim. Naturally, it's also your go-to place for spooky and quirky Halloween treats. Embrace your inner child and grab some caramel apple flavored cotton candy or choose from many frightful delights like gummy tarantulas, spider web cotton candy, and mummy mints.
