Metro Minute with pumpkin treats

The Halloween pumpkins are still sitting on your porch, aren’t they? We know you spent hours carving that dramatic gourd tableau of the Chilean miners’ rescue, but your neighbours are too polite to tell you your yard is starting to smell funny. And not ha-ha funny either. Toss out your rotting vegetable art and honour its memory by going for a scrumptious pumpkin treat. Yoshi’s Sweets at 2359 Queen St. E., has the lockdown in the pumpkin latte wars with fresh, thick pumpkin puree and spiced espresso perfection. Then head north to the Sweet Tooth Pastry Shop (508 Danforth Ave.) for a slice of year-round pumpkin pie, then wash it down with a pumpkin ale from the Victory Café (581 Markham St.).
