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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-spice-madness), Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese, and Maple Brown Sugar Cream Cheese. There's also the [Maple Spice Latte](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-chai-cream-iced-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.
