Autumn is the best time of year to treat yourself as there are more tasty snacks and toasty beverages available to help warm yourself up during the colder weather. 

Greggs has released their new autumn-inspired menu with new hot chocolates, lattes, a doughnut and even an all-day breakfast sandwich. 

I decided to try some of the baked goods on the menu to see if they were a treat worth the hype, or a trick not worth your money. 

I ordered almost all the autumn items but was disappointed that my local Greggs was out of the new Mexican Spicy Cheese Flatbread, but it must be good as I tried these around 9am and it was already sold out. 

However, I was glad that the new breakfast sandwich was in stock as I have seen online that people are happy they can now order a big breakfast sandwich at any time of the day rather than having to rush out to get their favourite item before 11am. 

My thoughts on the new Greggs autumn menu 

All Day Breakfast Sandwich - £4.65 

It is great starting your day with something hearty, and breakfast lovers can now rejoice as Gregg’s new breakfast sandwich can be bought at any time of the day. 

It was filled with scrambled egg, rashers of bacon and sausage with tomato sauce wrapped inside a baguette. 

This sandwich was really tasty and absolutely massive. I ate about half of it before I was full so I highly recommend it if you want something to fill your stomach. 

What impressed me the most about this sandwich was that the baguette was perfectly crispy on the outside without being hard to bite into and inside had tomato sauce inside but was not soggy like a lot of breakfast sandwiches can be. 

I highly recommend this on the weekend or as a treat while enjoying a coffee. 

Orange Hot Chocolate - £3.10

I am a big hot chocolate lover and always look forward to having a chocolate orange in my stocking at Christmas time, so I was shocked when I did not like this drink.

In my opinion, it only had a slight orange flavour but tasted far too sweet and the sugary taste was overwhelming. 

I also took a few sips of this before deciding it was not for me. I think maybe children would adore this drink but as someone who usually loves hot chocolate, it was not for me. 

Pumpkin Spice Doughnut - £1.65

I think this is my favourite doughnut flavour I have ever tried at Greggs. It was a mix of caramel-flavoured and spiced pumpkin which really went well together. 

It was covered with a icing glaze and a biscuit crumb, then when you bit into it you got the tasty orange pumpkin spiced filling. 

The doughnut was fluffy and an incredibly satisfying treat to have as you could taste the cinnamon in the treat without it being overpowering. 

If you are someone who usually orders the caramel custard doughnut at Greggs or enjoys caramel-flavoured treats then I think you would really enjoy this doughnut. 

I ended up eating it with the Greggs pumpkin spice latte so I highly recommend ordering both together as it was the best treat to have to warm me up in a cold Scottish morning. 

Pumpkin Spice Latte - £3.00 

Nothing is more classically autumn than a pumpkin spice latte, so it is no surprise that Gregg is offering their own version of this famous drink. 

I was not expecting to enjoy this drink as much as I did. It was creamy and flavoursome without overpowering the coffee. 

It has a slight taste of pumpkin spice and cinnamon which really complimented the latte and was a fantastic cosy drink to start the day with.  

This was my favourite thing on the menu and I am usually someone who is more of a tea drinker than a latte drinker.
