Who sells pumpkin muffins?

[leko.livejournal.com]

My girlfriend and I want to figure out who has the best pumpkin muffins, but we're not sure who even has them. We checked Diesel last night, and they didn't have any (although it was late).

So who has them? We're hoping to find 10 different places in the area, no just limited to Davis, but centered on Davis. Non-chains are obviously preferred, but we're willing to try everything, even things like the bakeries at grocery stores.

I'm thinking Neighborhood Muffin, in Teele.

You know, I'm not sure. Tiny place, open from 6a-noon or thereabouts, sells bagels?

[schpahky.livejournal.com]

That's Magnificent Muffin.

Quebrada on Mass Ave in Arlington has them.

I'm eating one right now!

...but it's home made. :-)

[exsplusohs.livejournal.com]

My suggestion was going to be "make them!" I made some AWESOME ones last year with a cream cheese filling....Omnomnomnomnom!

[lemonlies.livejournal.com]

I found a recipe that I don't think can be topped involving the cream cheese filling. Must make more!

!!!

Could you share? This weekend looks like baking weather.

[lemonlies.livejournal.com]

Sure. I'll send it via a message either tonight or tomorrow morning.

I am not usually a fan of their muffins but I do really like the pumpkin muffin there :)

I guess this is a "thirded!"

Seriously, I don't like DD muffins in general, but their pumpkins are my favorite thing in the world. I like to support independent/non-chain too, and do when we're talking about things that are of equal quality, I'll always go indie. But the pumpkin muffins are so good that I refuse to go with ideology over taste.

(There's one sitting on my desk right now waiting for lunch. YES!)

I didn't see pumpkin muffins at magnificent muffin the past couple times I was there. I don't know if they do seasonal stuff.

Oops, sorry, missed this. I commented below that they have them now.

Best pumpkin muffins ever

But I substitute garam masala for the allspice. (http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Pumpkin-Muffins-350633)

I had one the other day from the Magnificent Muffin and Bagel (or Bagel and Muffin?) Shop here in West Medford. It's next door to the post office. It wasn't my favorite, though. I recommend the Triple Berry and Double Chocolate. *droool*

starbucks has them too; pumpkin cream cheese muffins.

[soft-shoulder.livejournal.com]

Yes yes they do.

[cynickalone.livejournal.com]

seconded.

also, their pumpkin loafs. yummmm.

goes fantastic with a cinnamon dolce latte.

[bettyw.livejournal.com]

The Biscuit (www.visitthebiscuit.com) has been having them as the low-fat special muffin this week.

[soft-shoulder.livejournal.com]

Except their food is made with pure hate, as delicious as it is.

can't speak to muffins but I can tell you Henrietta's Table has the most divine pumpkin whoopie pies served with hot apple cider. I DIED.

[ceo]

Definitely not ordering those, then.

[kimmercake.livejournal.com]

on my birthday too, no less!

[sparkgrrl658.livejournal.com]

i know she's no one's fave, but rachel ray had a recipe for pumpkin whoopie pies in her mag one year and i make it every autumn now, they're pretty easy and DELICIOUS.

[syntheticnature.livejournal.com]

I haven't tried them myself, but the folks on chowhound.com are pretty big on the muffins at the Gingerbread Construction Co. in Winchester. (http://www.gingerbreadusa.com/muffins.php)

Re: bakeries at grocery stores: this is East Somerville, not Davis, but I've been very pleased with the muffins at the Stop n Shop on McGrath Highway. I'm not sure they have pumpkin, but I wouldn't be surprised.

google gives their address at 775 McGrath Hwy, Somerville, MA.

[latvianchick.livejournal.com]

Diesel does have them
Petsy Pies will probably have them (on Beacon Str. near Shaws)
Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts
Hi Rise has pumpkin bread - don't know how closely you want to define "muffin". They aren't exactly at Davis, but they do bring their goods to the Davis farmers market.

Further afield:
Danish Pastry House (come to Harvard Sq farmers market on Tuesdays)
Sherman's (Union Sq.)
Mariposa Bakery (Central Sq.)

I don't know if any of these have pumpkin muffins, but they make muffins and it's fall, and you can call them to ask.

Do report back!

[turil.livejournal.com]

I second the Hi Rise bakery at the farmer's markets. It is pumpkin bread, which isn't in a small round shape, but it's just as yummy!

[belladonna.livejournal.com]

Not quite a muffin, but close enough for this pumpkin connoisseur, When Pigs Fly has incredible pumpkin, date, pecan (I think?) bread.

[mamajoan.livejournal.com]

Au Bon Pain has them, but they're not very good (in my opinion).

[genevra-mcneil.livejournal.com]

Can I be nosy and ask "Why?"? Are you just HUGE pumpkin muffin fans and want to have a big tasting party? Is there a recipe you want to try that involves pumpkin muffins? As someone who often embarks on similar questions, I'm just being curious.

[mistresshellena.livejournal.com]

Pembury Farms on Mass Ave has a big bakery section. Diesel used to have wonderul pumpkin muffins. I hope they return! (for your sake, I don't live in the area anymore)

Thanks for this post - I went to DD in Davis just to get a Pumpkin Muffin -- delicious. McKinnon's also has Egg Nog, so pair them together and voila, perfect day.

[squonk.livejournal.com]

JP Licks in Harvard had frosted pumpkin muffins when I was in there today. Don't know if the one in Davis has them as well.

Petsi Pies....

Lyndell's has pumpkin bread, which is delicious. Not sure about pumpkin muffins, but they do make muffins, so it's possible.

[eeyorecol.livejournal.com]

Renee's had pumpkin crisp muffins over the weekend. AWESOME
