It’s that time of year again.
Trader Joe’s is back with its much-anticipated seasonal offerings, and fans are already sharing their thoughts.
From pumpkin spice to butternut squash, this year’s autumn collection has really become a highlight for many loyal customers.
As chatter picked up online, one enthusiastic user, Kurt Pusha, took to social media to share tips and product sightings, sparking a wave of excitement.
The star of the season seems to be Trader Joe’s Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese, with several fans buzzing about it.
“I can’t wait for Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese!” enthused one user on Instagram.
Another was curious, saying, “If Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese is back, I might have to drop by Trader Joe’s again.”
There are also mentions of the butternut squash lasagna, which one person noted was rich enough for three servings from a single container.
Another favorite appears to be the cocoa truffle with maple syrup, which fans are raving about, describing it as “out of this world.”
“Autumn harvest pasta sauce is a must-try,” someone added.
Then there’s the salted maple cold foam creamer, which seems like a great way to replicate that café vibe at home. One user mentioned how they bought it even though they didn’t want coffee later in the day.
Another delighted fan of the Mini Maple Walnut Biscotti called it their top autumn pick from the last several years; plus, there are more maple-flavored treats like ice cream sandwiches that people are calling “riskily good.”
One user questioned, “Why isn’t anyone mentioning the maple spice nut mix? It might be the best autumn product ever! I could eat the whole can!”
The Maple and Sea Salt Kettle Corn also got some love, with one user commenting on how they devoured most of the bags the first night they had it.
Gluten-free options are abundant too, which has been a pleasant surprise for many. A user shared a list of gluten-free goodies, from organic Vermont maple syrup to pumpkin butter.
“The gluten-free pumpkin pancake mix is unbeatable!” one person shared. However, another mentioned that while the gluten-free pumpkin spice donut holes looked appealing, they were a bit overwhelming in flavor.
Moving on from food, customers are also excited about non-edible items like fall-scented candles.
The pumpkin hand cream has received glowing reviews for its nourishing, quickly-absorbing formula, described as heavy yet effective.
Meanwhile, the cinnamon roll lip masks have garnered mixed feedback; one user noted that while they didn’t smell exactly like cinnamon, they left the lips feeling smooth without being sticky.
On a disappointing note, some fans were upset to find out that the maple oat drinks were no longer available. One person lamented, “I was really looking forward to that. Is there any way I can mix syrup into my coffee for a similar flavor?”
Another echoed these sentiments, saying, “I was heartbroken when I heard it was canceled. It was my favorite fall item!”
