Cooler weather calls for delicious seasonal eats. Greater Peoria has plenty of classics and unique twists on fall flavors to enjoy. Try all these cozy and comforting treats while they last! 

BUSY CORNER  {Goodfield}   //   Don’t eat just any pumpkin pie. Busy Corner processes fresh pumpkins and scratch makes their crust. You may forget about canned pumpkin and premade crust after tasting these pies. 

ELI’S COFFEE SHOP  {Metamora, Morton and Tremont}   //   Step aside pumpkin spice latte - Eli’s pumpkin pie miel takes the seasonal classic up a notch with the addition of local honey. Non-coffee drinkers will enjoy the candy apple twist and spiced caramel apple cider. Don’t leave without a seasonal treat such as a pumpkin brown butter scone or spiced apple knot. 

INDUSTRY BREWING  {Peoria}   //   Yes Industry Brewing has a traditional Marzen Lager on tap for Oktoberfest. You expect this from a local brewery, but you might not be aware Industry has s’mores kits you can enjoy around their fire pits. Industry’s beer cheese is also a great way to warm up in the fall.
