Fall has finally arrived in North Texas, with cooler temperatures and Daylight Savings Time making us Fall Back on Nov. 5. Local restaurants offer heartier menus to handle those colder weather appetites. Listed below are a few new fall menu items, including the White Rhino Coffee Shop in Cedar Hill, Waxahachie, and eight other locations.
White Rhino Coffee Shop
Chumpkin: Fan-favorite pumpkin spiced chai latte, a delightful fall beverage that combines warmth of a traditional chai latte with the comforting flavors of pumpkin spice. Add a shot of espresso for a “Dirty Chumpkin.” Caramel Apple Cider: Vermont apples, aromatic cinnamon, and luscious caramel combine for a delectable Caramel Apple Cider that encapsulates the very essence of fall.
Campfire Latte: With perfectly balanced notes of chocolate, graham crackers, marshmallows, and nutmeg, for a symphony of flavors that captures the essence of cozy evenings spent by the fire. NTGD Blue Chai: Drink up and give back with our butterfly pea powder chai latte. $1 of each Blue Chai sold will be donated to the shop’s local community partner.
White Rhino will also serve a few seasonal snacks. These include the delicious, scratch-made Pumpkin Loaf, the Spiced Krispie Treat with gooey marshmallows, rich chocolate drizzle and graham cracker crumbs, and the Pumpkin Whoopie Pie made with soft, spiced pumpkin cake, a maple frosting filling and white chocolate drizzle. There’s also the Caramel Apple Tart, a delectable combination of caramelized apples, cayenne-spiced streusel topping, and maple-habanero glazes, the Whiskey Peach Pop-tart, and the Pear and Pecan Salad.

La Madeleine French Country Cafes
Starting this fall, La Madeleine Dallas-Fort Worth cafés are offering baked pasta dishes. Starting at only $9.99 and available for the rest of the year, the baked pastas feature three different variations each served with a sea salt baguette: Four-cheese: Four-cheese sauce over penne, makes a great side dish. Bacon & Broccoli: Four-cheese sauce over penne, broccoli and bacon; and Chicken Cordon Bleu-Four-cheese sauce over penne, chicken and diced ham, are heartier, one-dish meals that will satisfy any appetite.
After trying all three of the baked pastas, my hands-down favorite was the flavorful and protein-packed Chicken Cordon Bleu, picked up from the Arlington Parks Mall La Madeleine. To find your closest La Madeleine, visit lamadeleine.com.
