The Pumpkin Spice Latte And 2023 Fall Menu Arrive At Starbucks

Weekdays 3:00PM-7:00PM

As the days have started getting shorter, Starbucks fans have been eagerly awaiting the return of their beloved PSL. Never mind the temperature outside, fall has arrived at Starbucks. At least on the menu, anyway. It’s finally here. The classic… the iconic… the O.G…. the Pumpkin Spice Latte is back at Starbucks as of today (8/24). As always, you can get it hot, iced, or blended. UGG boots not included.

At the risk of making you feel old, this year marks the 20th anniversary of Starbucks’ famous fall drink. Espresso, steamed milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and a topping of whipped cream. So simple, yet so satisfying. According to Popsugar, the Pumpkin Spice Latte is joined on Starbucks’ 2023 fall menu by some returning favorites, as well as some a couple of new beverages.

The bakery case has a new addition as well. The new Baked Apple Croissant is made with layers of croissant dough wrapped around a warm apple filling and topped with sugar before baking. Yes, please. Also available this fall are the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin, Owl Cake Pop, and the Pumpkin & Pepita Loaf.

But wait, there’s more! Today reports that Starbucks Reserve locations are also offering some new menu items. You can try the elevated Starbucks Reserve Pumpkin Spice Latte, Pumpkin Spice Whiskey Barrel-Aged Iced Latte, and Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini. New bakery items include the Pumpkin Maritozzo (Italian cream bun) and Pumpkin Spice Cake.
