Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte returns to menus alongside new Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Chai

The fall menu returns to Starbucks stores, marking what many consider the unofficial start of the season.

In addition to the highly anticipated Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL), the new Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai will join the full lineup of fall favorites, which will be available for a limited time while supplies last.

Pumpkin fans rejoice! The beverage that started the pumpkin spice phenomenon more than 20 years ago is back at Starbucks. Since its debut in 2003 the Pumpkin Spice Latte continues to be Starbucks most popular seasonal beverage and is enjoyed by customers around the world.

Made with real pumpkin, the handcrafted beverage combines Starbucks Signature Espresso and steamed milk with the celebrated flavor combination of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. Topped with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spices, the beverage is available hot, iced or blended.

The fan-favorite Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew also returns to the menu. Crafted with Starbucks® Cold Brew sweetened with vanilla syrup, topped with pumpkin cream cold foam and a pumpkin spice topping to create a perfectly balanced fall sip.

Following its official introduction to Starbucks fall menu last year, the Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai returns. Inspired by customer and barista customizations, this creamy fall beverage pairs a rich blend of spiced chai notes with pumpkin cream cold foam and a pumpkin spice topping.

Originating as a popular customer customization, the new Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai features warming spice flavors of chai combined with creamy oatmilk and topped with nondairy apple crisp cold foam, for a seasonal sip that is reminiscent of homemade apple pie often enjoyed at fall gatherings.

“We are excited to introduce the new Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai to our customers,” said Rosalyn Batingan, Starbucks beverage developer. “This beverage perfectly captures the taste and feeling of fall. We have combined creamy oatmilk with notes of cinnamon, clove and other warm baking spices from our chai tea to compliment the layered flavors of apple, cinnamon and brown sugar which are infused into the nondairy cold foam topping.”

Also returning is the Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato, featuring layered flavors of apple, cinnamon, and brown sugar combined with rich espresso poured over creamy oatmilk, topped with a spiced apple drizzle.  Available hot and iced.

The Starbucks Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso features a perfectly balanced combination of Starbucks® Blonde Espresso with notes of apple, cinnamon and brown sugar, shaken together and topped with oatmilk for a smooth, seasonal sip that is full of fall flavor.
