Factors That Influence Pumpkin Cheesecake’s Availability
A few key factors determine when pumpkin cheesecake will roll out each year and how long it will stick around at The Cheesecake Factory:
Consumer Demand
Pumpkin cheesecake is extremely popular, so The Cheesecake Factory wants to take full advantage of peak demand during the fall season. Rolling it out in September captures excitement for pumpkin flavors.
Fall Holidays
The autumn holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving drive fall food demand. Pumpkin cheesecake is a popular seasonal dessert for these holidays.
Ingredient Supply
Fresh pumpkin may be more difficult for suppliers to source outside of September-November. This influences availability.
Menu Rotations
The Cheesecake Factory methodically rotates menu items to keep offerings fresh. This impacts availability windows.
Understanding these factors helps explain why pumpkin cheesecake follows its predictable seasonal timeline.

Generally speaking, yes. Pumpkin cheesecake is so popular that it is widely available across virtually all locations every fall. However, there are a couple nuances:
Limited-Time Localized Offerings
Occasionally individual locations may offer limited-time fall flavors that temporarily replace pumpkin, such as caramel apple cheesecake. But these are typically very localized and pumpkin returns shortly.
International Locations
The Cheesecake Factory has a handful of international locations like Mexico and China. These locations may follow a different menu schedule based on local tastes and ingredient availability.
But the vast majority of time, regardless of location, if it’s September-November you can count on pumpkin cheesecake being on the menu. Call ahead if needed to double check your specific store.
