Trader Joe's Brings Back Teeny Tiny Pumpkin Pies as Fresh Bakery Item at $5.49

Trader Joe's revived its Teeny Tiny Pumpkin Pies as a fresh bakery item, selling four for $5.49, the company said. Yahoo reported the return of the mini pies, which previously appeared in the freezer aisle. Each pie has a pumpkin filling in a pastry crust with a leaf-shaped decoration on top.

What the Teeny Tiny Pumpkin Pies Include

The new Teeny Tiny Pumpkin Pies are sold fresh rather than frozen, in a box of four for $5.49. Each one is an individual pumpkin pie with a pumpkin filling tucked inside a pastry crust, finished with a small leaf-shaped decoration on top. Trader Joe's has also released fall and holiday offerings including pumpkin-flavored sweets and seasonal baking mixes.

Shoppers have started weighing in on the bakery version. In a recent Reddit thread, one customer described the pies as "perfectly portioned for a snack," praising their moist filling and light crust. Another wrote, "I wish I would have purchased a second box," while someone else called them "Perfect dessert size!" A few shoppers said the crust-to-filling ratio leaned too heavily toward the pastry, and others wished the pumpkin flavor packed more of a punch.

Trader Joe's Store Count and Mochi Supply

Trader Joe's operates more than 600 stores across 42 states and Washington D.C., according to akta.pro company records. The same records show the chain opened 35 new stores in 2025. Jia Hui Xiang, a Taiwanese mochi manufacturer that exports to over 70 countries, has supplied mochi products to Trader Joe's and to Häagen-Dazs.

Earlier Trader Joe's Fall Launches

Trader Joe's launched a fall Apple Panettone with caramel bits and a cream filling, priced at $9.99 for a 16-ounce box, PRESSBEE reported in October 2026. The product is part of seasonal holiday finds that include Harry & David Comice Pears returning at $9.99. Trader Joe's also launched a $2.99 London Fog tea concentrate in September, a 2:1 strength mix with bergamot and vanilla, Yahoo reported in October 2026. The concentrate can make four 12-oz lattes and is available year-round.

Trader Joe's Expansion Plans

Trader Joe's announced plans for 25 or more new stores across 13 states in 2026, including new market entries and densification in existing markets, according to akta.pro company records. The same records state the chain revealed plans in late May to open nine new stores nationwide, including two Phoenix locations at Desert Ridge Marketplace and another unspecified site, as part of a summer 2026 expansion.
