Newport Creamery is legendary for its comfort food and award-winning ice cream, and fall brings specials sure to warm you up on brisk fall afternoons. “The Butternut Squash Soup, a spiced soup topped with marshmallow creme, diced honeycrisp apples, and scallions is a good place to start,” says business manager Katelynn Dodson. The soup pairs well with an Apple & Turkey Croissant or the Harvest Cobb Salad, both returning to the menu this month.
And then there’s dessert. “We are thrilled to present three seasonal ice cream flavors,” continues Dodson, listing Salted Caramel, Pumpkin Pie, and Grandma’s Caramel Apple Pie. Not to be outdone, the October Sundae of the Month is a Toasty Pumpkin Spice Sundae. “It has pumpkin ice cream, marshmallow topping, hot fudge, graham cracker crumbs, chocolate chips, whipped cream, and a cherry,” adds Dodson. Fall treats also include the Oh My Gourd Oreo Trio and the Factory of Terror Collab Extreme Awful Awful. Barrington, Middletown, and other locations, NewportCreamery.com
It’s strictly ice cream on the menu board at Clementine’s, an award-winning ice cream shop with three locations. In addition to traditional flavors like chocolate chip and Oreo, seasonal favorites were launched this fall. “We do pumpkin and apple pie at all three shops,” says owner Warren Sternberg, who runs the business with his wife Jess. “We mix up different flavors like pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin Oreo, and maple bacon.”
The Apple Pie Sundae is also a popular treat. “We serve it in a waffle cone with ice cream, caramel topping, whipped cream, and nuts,” says Sternberg. “We also have some unique fall ice cream sandwiches with chocolate chip and pumpkin cookies made by Whisk Me Away.” All flavors are available in cups or store-made waffle cones. Sternberg advises customers to stop by soon, as the shops typically close for the season by the end of October. “We do pop-up pint sales in the winter, where we mix in some fall flavors.” Portsmouth and Middletown, ClementinesEG.com
For families seeking celiac-friendly snacks for spooky season, May’s Gluten Free Market is here to help. “We carry items that are hard to find in traditional grocery stores – if you want it, chances are we have it,” says owner Celeste Bremer. “We’ve developed a steady base of loyal regulars. We get new visitors daily, and the response is always the same: ‘Everything is gluten-free? I’m in heaven.’ We have customers who literally cry when they walk in the door.”
The market sells a mixed bag of tasty meals and seasonal treats. “Gluten-free empanadas made by Empanada Assassin are available daily, including Apple PiePanadas and Pumpkin PiePanadas,” says Bremer. “We have a selection of baked goods, prepared foods, and sandwiches with menus changing weekly.” Fresh-baked favorites for fall include apple cider ricotta cookies, pumpkin muffins, apple spice scones, and Halloween-themed cupcakes and sugar cookies. An expansion in the works means an even larger selection coming soon. Riverside, MaysGlutenFreeMarket.com
