Josh & John’s is right on my street in Colorado Springs, so this pumpkin announcement got my attention immediately. Cheesecake chunks and a cinnamon graham cracker swirl? Yes, I want to know about that before launch day.

Josh & John’s says two pumpkin flavors arrive at its stores Friday, September 18, 2026, at noon: Pumpkin Cheesecake Cinnamon Swirl and dairy-free Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookie.

One is pumpkin pie meets cheesecake

Pumpkin Cheesecake Cinnamon Swirl starts with pumpkin ice cream, adds cheesecake chunks, and folds in a cinnamon graham cracker crust swirl. That is a very convincing list of reasons to save room for dessert.

Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookie takes the other route: a dairy-free pumpkin base with soft, spiced oatmeal cookie pieces. The brand labels this flavor dairy-free; if you have an allergy, check its ingredient and shared-equipment information before ordering.

I haven’t tasted either new flavor yet. I’m going off the shop’s announcement and descriptions, and the cheesecake-and-graham-cracker combination is the one I want to try first.

When can you get the pumpkin flavors?

The company’s September 11 announcement puts the in-store launch at noon on September 18, with scoops, pints and tubs. Josh & John’s describes this as a seasonal release intended to stick around through pumpkin season, while supplies last. It has not given a fixed final day.

For downtown Colorado Springs, the shop is at 329 N. Tejon Street. You can check the official shop directory for the location nearest you and current hours.

There is a shipping option, too

You do not have to live near a Colorado scoop shop to look into these. Both pumpkin flavors appear in the nationwide shipping selection.

Check the order page for the current delivery window and total before buying. The shipping format is an eight-pint order, so this is a freezer-stock-up situation rather than mailing yourself one scoop. Seasonal selections and shipping charges need a look at checkout.

If you are local like me, September 18 is the date to keep handy. If you are putting together a fall snack list from farther away, our new pumpkin products guide has more seasonal food and drink ideas.
