Calling all Starbucks lovers! The much-anticipated Pumpkin Spice Latte season is officially upon us, starting August 26. This year, the fall menu rolls out earlier than ever, bringing back beloved favorites and introducing some exciting new treats. Let’s dive into what’s making waves this season.

The Classics Are Back

Leading the way this season is the iconic Pumpkin Spice Latte, celebrating its 20th anniversary! Returning alongside it are the delicious Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, the cozy Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai, and the delightful Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte. There’s no shortage of ways for fans to savor that warm, spicy goodness!

New on the Menu: The Pecan Cortado

This year’s standout addition is the Pecan Cortado. This drink features a perfect blend of rich espresso and steamed milk with a lovely pecan flavor that will remind you of indulgent pecan pie. If you love espresso, this is a cozy, luxurious treat you won’t want to miss!

Fall Food Goes Savory

Starbucks isn’t stopping at drinks this season. They are enhancing their food offerings with a new savory option: the Italian Sausage Egg Bites. These hearty bites are a wonderful pairing to go with your favorite seasonal beverage, adding extra satisfaction to your fall experience.

Fall Flavors Hit Grocery Shelves

If you can’t wait for your favorite fall drinks from Starbucks, you can now find seasonal flavors in grocery stores! There are options like Pumpkin Spice, Fall Blend, and Smoked Butterscotch coffee, in addition to ready-to-drink lattes and seasonal creamers, allowing you to sip the season at home.

Why the Early Start?

This earlier launch reflects a growing trend known as “Summerween,” where fall-themed products appear well before the official start of the season. Starbucks aims to streamline its seasonal offerings, making in-store experiences smoother. The grocery expansion also targets the booming at-home coffee market, letting fans enjoy their favorites any time.
