Jeff’s Bagel Run recently unveiled its 2026 fall lineup and this year's menu features many returning favorites, along with a brand-new Vegan Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese.
Officially available as of August 24, Jeff’s Bagel Run's seasonal lineup is big on pumpkin and maple flavors. Options include the brand's signature Pumpkin Bagel, Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese, and Maple Brown Sugar Cream Cheese. There's also the Maple Spice Latte, Pumpkin Spice Latte, and Pumpkin Spice Cold Foam Cold Brew as drink options.
However, the standout from Jeff’s Bagel Run's new fall collection is the Vegan Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese – the brand’s first-ever vegan limited-time spread. This means that even vegan consumers can enjoy their pumpkin bagel with a little pumpkin schmear this year.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Vegan Seasonal Spreads
- Plant-based limited-time spreads create room for dairy-free consumers to participate in flavor-driven seasonal rituals without sacrificing indulgence.
- Pumpkin Spice Expansion
- Classic autumn flavor profiles are extending into new menu formats, signaling opportunities for brands to refresh familiar seasonal demand through unexpected applications.
- Inclusive Fall Menus
- Menus that blend returning seasonal favorites with vegan additions reflect a broader shift toward celebratory food offerings that accommodate more dietary lifestyles.
Sectors Adopting This
- Quick-service Restaurants
- Fast-casual and quick-service brands can differentiate seasonal menus by pairing nostalgic flavors with inclusive product formats that broaden customer appeal.
- Plant-based Foods
- Dairy-free cream cheese innovations demonstrate how plant-based categories are moving beyond staples into limited-edition, occasion-based products.
- Coffee and Bakery
- Bakery and beverage operators are increasingly using coordinated fall flavor lineups to build cross-category seasonal experiences around bagels, spreads, and drinks.
