Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte returns soon, when to get your PSL fix
Starbucks has announced the highly anticipated return date of the fall fan-favorite Pumpkin Spice Latte.
When does Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte come out?
Although the fall equinox isn't until Sept. 22, the cultural phenomenon and seasonal sensation drink that first hit the Seattle-based coffee chain's menus more than 20 years ago will officially be back at Starbucks before then, on Aug. 26.
Consumer interest in the seasonal spice-laden lattes has spiked earlier than ever, according to Google Trends, which showed an uptick in searches starting in mid-June vs. mid-July in 2024.
New Starbucks fall menu 2025 and PSL season
With the unofficial start of fall at Starbucks coffeehouses come more returning favorites and a new selection of drinks and bites.
First up is a new Pecan Oatmilk Cortado, a coffee drink with a 1:1 ratio of espresso to steamed milk, amplifying another nutty fall flavor.
In keeping with the high-protein food trends, Starbucks has added another option to its already popular egg bites with a new Italian sausage version.
Returning alongside the PSL is the fan-favorite Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai and Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte.
Starbucks fall flavors hit grocery stores this summer
With more people tapping into the trend of Summerween, Starbucks announced its at-home line of fall products early, with K-Cup pods and Nespresso capsules already available in grocery stores.
Joining the lineup this year is a new Starbucks Maple Pecan Latte-inspired nondairy creamer. The Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte-inspired creamer is also back in both dairy and non-dairy options.
At-home coffee fans can also snag Starbucks' Fall Blend or Smoked Butterscotch Flavored Coffee, available in K-Cup Pods and roast and ground varieties, and Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Flavored Coffee, which is also available as Nespresso for Vertuo capsules.
Starbucks' ready-to-drink beverages -- including the Pumpkin Spice Flavored Coffee, available in RTD Iced Espresso and RTD Frappuccino Chilled Coffee Drink -- are available as well.
