Pumpkin Season Arrives in August at 32 Shea With
New Fall Menu and Limited Coffee Specials
Pumpkin season is back at 32 Shea, and this year’s lineup brings even more ways to lean into fall, no matter what the Phoenix temperature says. Starting Friday, Aug. 1, the neighborhood favorite near 32nd Street and Shea Boulevard will serve a new lineup of pumpkin-forward dishes, desserts and coffee drinks through Sunday, Nov. 30.
One standout this season is the exclusive Pumpkin-Infused Cold Brew, brewed fresh daily with real pumpkin and warm spices. It’s only available in a 24-ounce size, and with just 30 made each day, it’s expected to sell out.

“People start asking about pumpkin before summer even ends,” said Chadd Satterfield, general manager at 32 Shea. “Our new menu gives people something to look forward to, knowing fall is eventually coming, and we try to make it a little bigger and better each year.”
The food menu includes housemade Pumpkin Hummus with chili crisp, pumpkin seeds and toasted flatbread ($10) and the Pumpkin Pasta a multicolor cheese tortellini tossed with Italian sausage, kale, roasted squash and a drizzle of chili honey ($17). For dessert, the Pumpkin Cheesecake is finished with a bruléed top, pumpkin caramel and vanilla whipped cream ($8).
Limited-time coffee specials run throughout August, including the Pumpkin-Infused Cold Brew coffee, Pumpkin Cinnamon Caramel Latte and Blueberry Pie Latte. Each drink is topped with cinnamon bun sweet cream and a dusting of blueberry crumbles for the pie latte. A new fall-inspired coffee will be introduced each month through the end of November, with each one featuring a pumpkin element.
Fall cocktails arrive Sept. 1. The Pumpkin Espresso Martini is made with vanilla vodka, housemade pumpkin pie syrup, fresh espresso and a pumpkin caramel chew garnish ($14). The Fall Fashioned offers a spiced take on the classic Old Fashioned with toasted almond bitters and a pumpkin wafer ($14).

“We’re known for switching things up with the seasons,” Satterfield said. “Pumpkin isn’t just a flavor here, it’s a whole vibe, and we want it to feel like fall from the first sip.”
The full fall menu will be available through Nov. 30 at 32 Shea. For more information, visit www.32Shea.com.
