The Pumpkin Spice Latte Is Back at Starbucks—and There’s a Brand-New Fall Drink, Too

Yes, we love the Starbucks summer menu, but it’s almost September—and we’re ready for pumpkin. Starbucks is kicking off fall with the return of the famed Pumpkin Spice Latte and a handful of other pumpkin-packed (and apple-flavored) treats. The Starbucks fall menu is back!

What drinks are on the Starbucks fall menu?

The fall menu features a lineup of new and returning seasonal favorites. Here are the drinks that’ll make you want to curl up in a cable-knit sweater.

Pumpkin Spice Latte

Starbucks has perfected the Pumpkin Spice Latte game. This 21-year-old fall classic has just the right ratio of pumpkin flavor, dairy and espresso. It’s the ideal PSL for people who enjoy a latte that tastes like a slice of pumpkin pie with an espresso on the side.

Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai

New last year and returning for its second season, the Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai is inspired by one of the most popular customizations from baristas and customers alike. This creamy chai tea latte combines chai tea, velvety cold foam and pumpkin spice for all the fall flavors in a single drink.

Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew

The pumpkin cream on top is so good you’ll want to scoop it off like a spoonful of ice cream. This drink is the least sweet and most coffee-forward of the six fall drinks. The pumpkin cream is light on pumpkin spice flavor and has more of a vanilla taste.

Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai

The debut beverage this season takes apple crisp and turns it into a comforting chai latte. Sweet apple fuses with warming chai spices, and creamy oatmilk brings it all together. When it’s too cold for the shaken espresso version, I recommend warming up with hot chai instead.

Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso

The Starbucks fall menu brought this one back for a second year. Blonde espresso with hints of apple, cinnamon and brown sugar has me thinking this drink tastes like a caffeinated apple cider doughnut in a cup, and I’m not mad about it.

Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato

This macchiato is sweet, creamy, and honestly tastes like an apple pie a la mode! I would recommend it to those who aren’t a big fan of pumpkin but still want a taste of the fall season.

What food items are on the Starbucks fall menu?

While nothing says fall like a sip of Pumpkin Spice Latte, the food is bound to get you into the autumn spirit, too.

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin

The dollop of cream cheese in the middle is a nice addition that complements the pumpkin flavor so well. The crunch of the pumpkin seeds also gives the muffin a great texture. I like to pick this up when I need an on-the-go breakfast.

Baked Apple Croissant

Last year’s new fall food item was a hit, so of course, it’s back again! The baked apple croissant is full of flaky croissant dough layers, encasing a warm apple filling and sprinkled with sugar.

Raccoon Cake Pop

Arguably the sweetest item on the fall menu, this cake pop has vanilla cake batter on the inside and a candy coating (just like last year’s owl cake pop). The texture is chewy and decor is cute, so this is a fun treat for the kids.

When is pumpkin coming back to Starbucks?

Starbucks will roll out all of our seasonal faves on August 22, 2024. It’s never too early to celebrate the unofficial start of fall, right?

Like all good things, the Starbucks fall menu won’t be around for long. Now is the time to put on Gilmore Girls, sit back and indulge. If you need even more pumpkin, grab a fall-themed drink from the Starbucks secret menu.
