A Recap on Starbucks’ Recent Fall Menu Lineup
Over the years, Starbucks’ annual release of its Fall Menu lineup has been the unofficial start of the season for some fans and coffee lovers alike. Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte has also been synonymous with fall, and fans treat it as their go-to comfort drink after surviving the heat of summer. In fact, Pumpkin Spice Latte has been the reigning drink at Starbucks for over 20 fall seasons!
Before we get excited with Starbucks’ fall menu selection later in August and September, let’s take a step back and reminisce about the previous fall-themed lineup the coffee giant released last year.
- Pumpkin Spice Latte: The Pumpkin Spice Latte is a classic fan favorite every fall season. It combines Starbucks’ signature espresso and steamed milk with a combination of real pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. You can get it as hot, iced, or blended, with a whipped cream and pumpkin pie spices on top.
- Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte: Gracing Starbucks’ Fall menu as a new item last year, this was your creamy chai tea latte that combines a rich blend of spiced chai notes with pumpkin cream cold foam and a dusting of your good ol’ favorite, pumpkin spice.
- Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew: Another fan favorite that returned for its fifth year last August, the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew is Starbucks’ signature Cold Brew that had sweet notes of vanilla syrup, topped with pumpkin cream cold foam and finished with a fine dusting of pumpkin spice.
- Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso: Another new item from last year, this drink starts off with Starbucks’ Blonde Espresso with combined flavor notes of apple, cinnamon, and brown sugar, all shaken together and topped with oatmilk to balance the fall flavors.
- Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato: Features the fall favorite flavors of apple, cinnamon, and brown sugar, all combined with a drizzle of spiced apple for a delicious beverage that was available as hot, iced, or blended.
Aside from these comforting drinks, Starbucks also released fall goodies – Baked Apple Croissant, Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin, Owl Cake Pop, and Pumpkin & Pepita Loaf were made available last year.

From The Club
Fall may be a chill and cozy season but Starbucks has put their magic and made it an exciting one. This year, I’m stoked to see more than five pumpkin-themed drinks and four baked goodies! Yes, some may be returning, but releasing more than five drinks for a single lineup is a huge deal, and Starbucks is willing to take that risk to spoil us with all things pumpkin! The first drop is on August 22, that’s roughly a month from now but I’m already excited and I can already see myself binging the PSL with a Baked Apple Croissant!
