Trader Joe's 13 Best Fall Breakfast Finds Worth Picking Up On Your Next Visit

Ask anyone what they love about fall, and you might hear something about crisp, cool air, the color of the leaves, or sweater weather. But more times than not, you'll probably hear something about comforting, cozy foods that are abundant in aromas and warming spices. That might spiral into a conversation about pumpkin and apple everything since that's what we've come to associate with autumn — and Trader Joe's knows it. We've already leaned into TJ's seasonal fall snacks to stock up on before they run out, and now we're pivoting toward the breakfast items the grocery chain has on offer to warm our bellies as temperatures dip.

Trader Joe's has gone hard on the apple and pumpkin everything in recent years. Some of these items are returning favorites, while a few are new to their shelves for fall 2026. But the main reason these picks landed on this round-up is because they are well-reviewed online as people's faves for reasons such as taste, convenience, and price. Please keep in mind that products may vary by Trader Joe's location, but for your sake, we hope these are all in stock at your local outpost.

Some folks have struggled to get Trader Joe's Pumpkin O's Cereal from the box to the bowl. It's so tempting to eat this sweet, cinnamon-spiced cereal by the fistful straight from the box. Some reviewers have said that this vegan cereal doesn't taste particularly pumpkin-y, with one Reddit user noting that they taste like "a hybrid of apple cinnamon Cheerios with the O part of [the Joe's Os] cereal."

If pumpkin and apple aren't your thing, it's also hazelnut season. Feel fall-festive with these Trader Joe's Hazelnut & Cocoa Filled Crepes, which can usually be found in the bakery section of the store. Though they can be eaten at room temp, or microwaved, one fan recommends warming them in a pan with butter, which some may consider dessert, others breakfast.

One Facebook user touts the Trader Joe's Pumpkin Oat Bites as: "The ultimate little pre-gym bite with my morning coffee!" While these gluten-free, well-spiced bites are good for on-the-go pumpkin snacking, some have recommended heating them in the microwave (unwrapped) for 10 seconds to soften the firm texture. Delicious!

Trader Joe's jar of goodness is one of the best pumpkin butters to indulge in this fall, which is why it's been in the retailer's harvest lineup for years. Though it can simply be used as a spread for one of the other breads mentioned here, fans have gotten creative with it over the years. Some add it to Greek yogurt for a DIY pumpkin spice yogurt, put it in coffee or cold brew, or slather it on waffles. It's a breakfast condiment worth trying.

While there are many ways to cook with pumpkin seeds, there's also the "why" to consider, and that's because they are a nutritional powerhouse.
