October 12–18 is a great week to enjoy some of Lehi’s best fall flavors! We’ve picked two local spots worth checking out, from a restaurant serving a fresh harvest-inspired menu to a neighborhood bakery turning out gooey, scratch-made cinnamon rolls. Whether you're planning a cozy dinner or a little afternoon treat, these are two tasty ways to enjoy October.

Place: Harvest Restaurant at Thanksgiving Point
Address: 3003 N Thanksgiving Way, Lehi, UT 84048

Harvest Restaurant has a new fall menu worth checking out! Expect comforting dishes featuring roasted vegetables, pumpkin, and rich autumn flavors. Its welcoming dining room makes it a lovely spot for dinner with family or friends.

Try the Brown Butter Pumpkin Ravioli with crispy sage and candied walnuts. The Stuffed Butternut Squash with ancient grains and pomegranate is another delicious pick. Browse the fall menu and reserve ahead for weekend dining

Place: Dough Lady – Lehi
Address: 3156 N 1200 W, Suite 101, Lehi, UT 84043

For a little something sweet, make your way to Dough Lady! What started in a Utah home kitchen has grown into a local favorite for soft, gooey cinnamon rolls made fresh from scratch. It’s a great stop for a morning coffee, a midweek treat, or a box of goodies to take home.

Try the Brown Butter Chai Cinnamon Roll for those warm, cozy spices that taste especially good in October. They also introduce new flavors each week, so check their latest lineup for any pumpkin or apple-inspired treats during your visit. We’d recommend stopping by early since the popular rolls are first-come, first-served and can sell out.
