Autumn Eats: Mississauga Food Trail
With cooler temperatures adding crispness to the air, and earthy, flavourful produce taking over the harvest, Autumn is the perfect time to cozy up and enjoy some comfort food. From locally crafted cider to sumptuous brunch staples, spend a day following our Autumn Food Trail to find the very best of Fall flavours in Mississauga.
SpiceNosh
For warm, bold, brunch flavours that taste like Fall, visit this fusion spot for an elevated take on Canadian breakfast classics. Satisfy your sweet tooth with the Chai Latte Pancakes, or opt for the Gulab Jamun & Pistachio Rabdi stack. Pair your meal with an apple cider, or if you’re looking for a late-night tipple, experience the smoky flavour of the Bourbon Iced Tea.
Dairy Cream
Who says ice cream is just for summer! Mississauga’s oldest ice cream parlour is welcoming pumpkin season with a limited-time menu. Choose from a pumpkin pie ice cream scoop topped with pumpkin cookie crumble, or turn your treat into a smooth and delicious Flurry milkshake.
Studio.89
Warm up with a hot Spiced Chai Latte or an Apple Spice tea at this café and community space. For the perfect Autumn lunch, pair your drink with a bowl of hot chilli. Before you leave, make sure to grab a bottle of locally made Black River Apple Cider to go.
Little Rose Cookie Co.
Indulge in a chewy Caramel Candy Apple drop cookie, made with an apple pie cookie base, then filled with ooey gooey caramel, topped with Skor bits and a caramel candy apple lollipop. Pair your treat with a White Chocolate Pumpkin Latte.
Z! Eats (Formerly Zoup)
If soup is your ultimate Autumn comfort food, you’ll love Z! Eats’ Chicken Pot Pie soup topped with a pastry crumble. The seasonal menu changes daily, offering a variety of Fall favourites, including a thick and creamy Butternut Squash soup.
Copper Branch
For a plant-based meal with seasonal produce, try Copper Branch’s Aztec Power Bowl, filled with sweet potato cubes, carrots, beans, pumpkin seeds and more. For an autumnal twist on a Canadian classic, order the Sweet Potato Poutine, which comes topped with cremini mushroom gravy and vegan mozzarella.
Bonus: The Apple Market
Finish off your Fall Food Trail experience with a visit to this classic country market right here in the city. Along with seasonal produce, including locally grown squash, you can bring home some freshly baked goodies, including store-made bread pudding and carrot cake. Don’t leave without paying a visit to the garden centre, where you can walk the aisles of colourful chrysanthemum plants and pumpkins.
