Anyone tried this flavor?

I probably wouldn't be a fan of that combo, but I know a lot of people make carrot cake with coconut so you could always give it a try.

I would not be a fan of that combo.   My taste buds like cinnamon, vanilla or cream cheese with pumpkin.

I wouldn't do coconut as there are probably plenty of spices on that pumpkin cake (or there should be).  To my taste, plain cream cheese will be more than enough contrast.

Sounds gross. I love pumpkin and I love coconut, but the two together sound gross.

I like cream cheese icing with pumpkin cake, sometimes flavoured with just a tiny, tiny, tiny bit of orange zest.

 I don't like coconut. About the only coconut-containing confection I ever liked was the old BC "Vienna Dream Bars" bar-cookie mix. And in my reconstruction and reimagining of it ("Innsbruck Dream Bars"), I replaced the coconut flakes in other reconstructions with a 50-50 mix of almond flakes (made by running sliced almonds through a hand-crank nut-chopper) and long-cooking rolled oats. (And the nuts are a 50-50 mix of chopped cashews and macadamias, from the same nut-chopper.)

This thread-hijack is now concluded. We now return to your regularly scheduled thread. (PM me if you want the recipe, though.)

I think if I were making a pumpkin cake, I'd be inclined to go with a maple or maple-cinnamon BC (PM me for that recipe, as well; mine is made with Vermont Grade B, for its robustness), or just a plain vanilla BC.
