It’s nearly September, which means it’s perfectly acceptable to sip on something cinnamony and sweet without feeling like jumping the gun. Pumpkin spice has become as synonymous to fall as gingerbread is to Christmas and chocolates are to Valentine’s Day.
Well-crafted pumpkin-flavored products spark joy. They don’t just taste good, they make us feel cozy, comforted, and a little bit celebratory. And we’re here for that. Granted, there are a lot of pumpkin-infused products, and not all of them are winners. So, here are the 29 best vegan pumpkin spice products you can get this year.
What is pumpkin spice?
Pumpkin spice is an American spice mix, and it’s usually used as the flavoring in pumpkin pie (hence why it’s also often referred to as pumpkin pie spice). However, in recent years, the mix has become a popular flavor for lattes (thank you for that, Starbucks), desserts, cookies, cakes, and even bagels. In fact, pumpkin spice products are so popular, the market is worth more than $1 billion, and by 2033, it’s expected to hit $2.4 billion.
If you’re looking to join in on the hype and grab a taste of pumpkin spice for yourself, here are some of the best vegan products to try.
The 29 best vegan pumpkin spice products to try
Daiya
1Daiya Pumpkin Spice Cheezecake
Daiya may be known for its vegan cheese, but the line of cheesecakes it introduced in 2016 really show off what the company can do. Made with a classic graham cracker crust and a dense, decadently creamy cheesecake filling infused with just the right amount of pumpkin spice, this treat always makes an appearance at fall potlucks and dinner parties.

Califia Farms
2Califia Farms’ cold brews and creamers
Califia’s Pumpkin Spice Latte Cold Brew is the vegan equivalent of the Starbucks PSL. It’s a universal signal that fall has come. Regardless of the fact that this popular bottled beverage is available beginning in late August, the sweet warming spices of this almond milk-based cold brew make us want to jump into a pile of autumnal leaves. The brand’s line of pumpkin spice-flavored almond milk creamers have also returned.

Purely Elizabeth
3Purely Elizabeth Pumpkin Cinnamon Ancient Grain Granola
While we like to keep pumpkin spice out of our yogurt, we don’t mind a fall-flavored crunchy topping. This lightly sweet granola incorporates organic pumpkin seeds and cinnamon into the mix—which means it tastes like real food, not a food lab approximation. We love the texture of this granola—not too chunky and perfect for sprinkling on everything from dairy-free yogurt to ice cream. Of course, there’s always the bag-to-mouth option.

Kite Hill
4Kite Hill Pumpkin Pie Cream Cheese
Bagels and all that accompany them are controversial. To toast, or not to toast? Is a blueberry bagel even a bagel? Does New York really make the best bagels? Are Montreal-style bagels better? Kite Hill’s Plant-Based Pumpkin Pie Cream Cheese does not escape this controversy. Do the flavors of fall belong on a bagel? That’s up to you to decide. One thing we can all agree on: this will make an excellent cream cheese frosting for vegan cream cheese-stuffed pumpkin muffins.
