As we reach the peak heat of summer, you may be itching to turn off the AC, open the window, and light your favorite fall-scented candle. Did you know there’s a word to describe this exact feeling? This in-between season is now known as Augtober, a playful social media term that views August as the unofficial kickoff to fall. It’s all about enjoying autumn flavors, cozy vibes, and bringing out the fall decor before the calendar says summer is over. While we love fall too, as big ice cream fans, we’re not quite ready for our favorite season to be over just yet. If you find yourself getting a taste of the summer blues, indulge in these five hand-picked Perry’s Ice Cream flavors that bring the best of fall and summer alike!
Pumpkin Pie
Available in both retail and at select scoop shops, Perry’s Pumpkin Pie is the perfect way to beat the heat while indulging in all the pumpkin vibes you crave in the fall. Featuring pumpkin ice cream swirled with whipped cream flavored ice cream and pie crust pieces, you can enjoy this flavor after a day at the beach or before you leave for the pumpkin patch.
Cider Mill
While it’s not quite time for apple picking and pumpkin carving, Perry’s Cider Mill puts your tastebuds in an autumn state of mind. Featuring apple cider ice cream with cinnamon graham swirls and donut pieces, this flavor tastes just like your yearly visit to the cider mill. Unlike Pumpkin Pie, Cider Mill is only available at scoop shops, making it the epitome of Augtober!
Coffee & Donuts
Also available as a scoop shop exclusive flavor, Perry’s Coffee and Donuts can only be described as sunshine with a sweater-weather state of mind. Our creamy coffee ice cream brings the comfort of your favorite morning brew, vanilla cream swirls add a touch of sweetness, and real donut pieces deliver that bakery-fresh nostalgia. One scoop tastes like the first cool morning of the season.
Cinnamon Bun
Perry’s Cinnamon Bun is perfect for Augtober because it’s not quite summer and not quite fall. The cozy cinnamon ice cream with cinnamon graham and sweet icing swirls celebrates the season in between. One bite, and you’ll be ready for hay rides while still wearing shorts. The best part? This flavor is available in retail it all year long to emulate all the autumn vibes no matter the season!
Maple Walnut
Why is Perry’s Maple Walnut perfect for Augtober? Because nothing says “fall is almost here” quite like maple. Creamy maple ice cream meets crunchy walnuts, delivering all the cozy autumn vibes while it’s still warm enough for a double scoop. Like Cinnamon Bun, maple season lasts year ’round with the well-loved craveable classic, available in both retail and at select scoop shops.
While we love fall as much as the next person, there are still plenty of ways to enjoy what’s left of the summer season; like a visit to your favorite scoop shop! Before you decide to lean all the way into the autumn spirit, satisfy your cravings this Augtober with flavors that celebrate the best of both seasons from Perry’s.
