Around this time every year, we start to get that itch for fall. Whether you're a sweater and tailgate kind of fall fanatic or simply like the cooler weather, there's so much to love about the season.
All in all, the real change we love to see is everyone embracing the comfort items we know and love about fall. From a seasonal latte to autumn scented candles, there's a ton of great fall comfort items to find around the Champaign-Urbana area. Here are a few of our favorites as we head into the beginning of the season!
PUMPKIN BARS AT HOMESTEAD BAKERY (THE GREAT PUMPKIN PATCH)
We can't talk fall comfort items without discussing the joys of a perfectly-soft pumpkin bar from Homestead Bakery at the Great Pumpkin Patch in Arthur, Illinois. These melt-in-your-mouth pumpkin bars are the pride and joy of the Homestead Bakery, plus while you're there, get your hands on their famous pumpkin cookies, pumpkin cinnamon rolls, and chocolate chip pumpkin Bread! All of their baked goods are made-from-scratch and made from real pumpkin. We recommend grabbing multiples of each item, as they will probably disappear quickly when shared with loved ones!
FALL SCENTED CANDLES AT FIRE DOLL STUDIOS
Nothing makes a home feel cozier then the smell of pumpkin or apple filling the living room or kitchen. Fire Doll Studios, is a must-stop this season as you hunt for fall scents to warm the heart and please the senses!
With traditional items like luxury hand-poured scented soy wax pillar candles and wax melts to limited edition options that rotate in the shop, the comfort of a fall candle is hard to beat!
APPLE DOUGHNUTS AT CURTIS ORCHARD
When it starts to get cooler, we know we're not the only ones who also crave apple-themed treats. Curtis Orchard over in Savoy, Illinois, comes alive in the fall and features a variety of apple-infused baked goods that'll keep you coming back for more. The Orchard's cake-based apple doughnuts are an instant hit with the locals. Baked daily and topped with a light cinnamon sugar (or glazed) dusting, we recommend getting there early to grab yourself a fresh dozen!
