Starbucks has reintroduced its popular fall menu, which includes the return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) and the introduction of a new Pecan Oatmilk Cortado. The PSL, made with real pumpkin, espresso, steamed milk, and pumpkin pie spices, is available in hot, iced, and blended options. The Pecan Oatmilk Cortado combines Starbucks Blonde Espresso with pecan, brown butter, and holiday baking spices, topped with a pecan crunch topping. The Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew and Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte also return to the menu.

The fall menu, which celebrates the unofficial start of fall, features a variety of seasonal treats. The Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew and Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte are also back, offering consumers the chance to enjoy pumpkin-flavored drinks in both hot and iced forms. Additionally, the menu includes the Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte, which was a popular addition last year and is now available in a cortado form.

The Pumpkin Spice Latte is Starbucks' most popular seasonal beverage, with hundreds of millions sold since its 2003 launch. Despite some concerns about inflation and pumpkin product costs, consumers are willing to pay extra for these seasonal treats. The price of Starbucks' limited-time-only seasonal beverages has not increased from last year, with a grande Pumpkin Spice Latte costing between $5.75 and $7.25 at company-owned U.S. stores.

The new Pecan Oatmilk Cortado offers a unique twist on the classic latte, with a stronger espresso flavor and a nutty, buttery taste. The cortado, which combines three shots of Starbucks Blonde Espresso with steamed oat milk and a pecan topping, is an excellent option for coffee lovers looking for an extra shot of espresso to start their day.

In addition to the fall drinks, Starbucks is also offering a variety of fall-inspired food items. The Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin and Raccoon Cake Pop are back on the menu, along with new Italian Sausage Egg Bites. Consumers can also customize any drink or secret menu item with pumpkin spices, pumpkin cream cold foam, or a pecan cold foam.

The fall menu is available nationwide starting August 26, 2025, and will remain on the menu through the end of the season. Consumers can enjoy these seasonal treats at participating Starbucks locations or order them online for pickup or delivery.
