Starbucks Unveils Fall Menu, Pumpkin Spice Latte Returning Earlier Than Ever

As a gamer who’s been through countless sleepless nights and coffee-fueled marathons, I can wholeheartedly say that Starbucks has just leveled up my gaming experience! The early arrival of the Pumpkin Spice Latte this year is like finding an unexpected rare item in a game – pure bliss! And the expanded fall menu? It’s like discovering hidden secrets and easter eggs I never knew existed.


Despite temperatures remaining warm in various regions across the country, autumn has formally arrived, particularly when considering culinary and beverage trends. This year, an abundance of pumpkin spice items have surfaced earlier than ever, causing a stir among enthusiasts of this popular flavor who eagerly awaited Starbucks’ introduction of the renowned Pumpkin Spice Latte to confirm the start of fall. As anticipated, that moment has arrived. On August 22nd, Starbucks officially announced the return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte, marking the earliest release date yet. Accompanying this fan-favorite is an entire lineup of autumn offerings from Starbucks, including both returning classics and fresh, new delights.

Once again this year, the beloved Pumpkin Spice Latte returns for its 21st anniversary. Introduced in 2003, this drink combines real pumpkin, Starbucks signature espresso, steamed milk, and the tantalizing flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove, finished with a swirl of whipped cream and a dusting of pumpkin pie spices. You can enjoy it hot, iced, or blended. Alongside the PSL, two other popular pumpkin-infused beverages make their return: the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew and the Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai. The Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew offers a blend of Starbucks Cold Brew sweetened with vanilla syrup, topped with pumpkin cream cold foam and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice. Meanwhile, the Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai merges spiced chai with pumpkin cream cold foam and a final touch of pumpkin spice.

If you’re not fond of pumpkins, fear not! Apples are making a big comeback this season. For the Fall 2024 lineup, we have the Apple Crips Oatmilk Macchiato returning, a delightful layered beverage with notes of apple, cinnamon, and brown sugar, blended with rich espresso and creamy oatmilk, and finished off with a spiced apple drizzle, available both hot and iced. Additionally, we’re bringing back the Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso. This year, we introduce something new – the Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai, which pairs chai with creamy oatmilk and is topped with a frothy nondairy apple crisp cold foam. Enjoy these delicious apple-themed drinks!

As a beverage developer at Starbucks, I’m thrilled to announce the arrival of the Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai! This drink encapsulates the essence of fall in every sip. We’ve blended creamy oatmilk with hints of cinnamon, clove, and other delightful baking spices from our chai tea to create a harmonious blend that complements the rich layers of apple, cinnamon, and brown sugar in the cold foam topping. Can’t wait for you all to try it!

Starbucks has introduced two exclusive fall beverages for mobile app orders: the Iced Caramel Apple Cream Latte and the Iced Honey Apple Almondmilk Flat White. For your sweet tooth, the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin returns this season, along with a new delightful treat – the Raccoon Cake Pop. This charming dessert consists of vanilla cake and buttercream covered in chocolate icing, shaped as an endearing little raccoon.

Starting this coming Thursday, August 22nd, all the fresh additions to Starbucks’ autumn menu will be up for grabs, as long as they last, only for a brief period.

It seems like every brand is jumping on the bandwagon, and I couldn’t be happier.
