Starbucks Fall Menu is Here!

As the summer sun begins to wane, our thoughts are already shifting to the cozy, inviting vibes of fall. There’s something about the crisp air, warm sweaters, and of course, the seasonal delights that make this time of year so special. One of the most anticipated aspects of fall for many is the return of Starbucks' autumn beverages. Just one sip of a Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew can instantly transport us to a world of golden leaves and chilly evenings.

Each year, Starbucks seems to unveil its fall menu a little earlier, and we're certainly not complaining. It simply means more time to indulge in our seasonal favorites. Last year, the iconic Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) made its return on August 24, and this year, the fall menu officially launched even earlier, on August 22. Here’s everything you need to know about Starbucks’ 2024 fall drinks, including the latest additions.

Starbucks' Fall Menu 2024

Starbucks rolled out its fall menu on Thursday, August 22, featuring a delightful array of autumn-inspired drinks and treats. As always, the Pumpkin Spice Latte is the star of the season, available in hot, iced, or Frappuccino form. Returning fan favorites include the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew and the Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, which topped our taste test last year. The Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai, inspired by a beloved secret menu item, is also making a comeback.

This year, Starbucks has introduced some exciting new offerings as well. The Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai provides non-coffee drinkers with a delicious alternative, while two new apple-themed drinks—exclusive to the Starbucks app—are sure to please: the Iced Caramel Apple Cream Latte and the Iced Honey Apple Almond milk Flat White.

According to a leak from Instagram user @Markie_Devo, Starbucks is planning to release a second wave of fall drinks on Thursday, September 19. This rumored launch will feature two new beverages: an Iced Pecan Crunch Oat milk Latte and a Salted Pecan Cream Cold Foam, along with a new Mummy Cookie treat. As a fan of Starbucks' pistachio drinks, I’m particularly excited about these pecan-themed options. However, Starbucks has yet to confirm this additional release, so we can only wait in anticipation.

With the debut of Starbucks' fall menu, it’s clear that autumn is upon us, even if the calendar says otherwise. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the Pumpkin Spice Latte or eager to try the new offerings, there’s something for everyone to enjoy as we transition into the coziest season of the year. So, grab your favorite fall beverage and let the seasonal vibes begin!
