Check Out These Cute Halloween Treats at D.C. Restaurants

Restaurants are getting into the trick-or-treating spirit by offering candies, donuts, and desserts with a Halloween touch.

Le Diplomate is actually a real pit stop on Halloween and will hand out caramel apples to city kids passing by. But treats are available as soon as today, too. Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken just started selling a $22 box set of mini doughnuts with a special Halloween twist. The flavors include: two crème brûlée, two candy apple, two chocolate and three vanilla glazed with Halloween sprinkles, candy corn and marshmallow pumpkins, and three pumpkin glazed mini doughnuts.

Some treats are disappearing just as fast as they pop up; Garrison is doing a “Hilloween” brunch on Sunday with a pumpkin sundae as part of the special menu.

Here are Eater’s picks for cool Halloween treats across town. More interested in Halloween activities? Check out this guide.
