The wait is over: Starbucks has officially announced that its iconic Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) will return to stores on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, marking the unofficial start of fall for millions of fans. Made with real pumpkin, espresso, steamed milk, and a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove, the PSL remains the most popular seasonal drink in Starbucks history—more than 20 years after its debut.

But this year, the PSL isn’t coming back alone. Starbucks is rolling out a refreshed fall menu that includes returning favorites and two new additions designed to tap into current flavor trends and customer cravings.

What’s New for Fall 2025

  • Pecan Cortado: This new espresso-forward drink blends Starbucks Blonde Espresso with equal parts steamed oatmilk and a nutty pecan syrup, offering a bold yet balanced sip that nods to European coffee culture. It’s available hot or iced and is expected to appeal to fans of cortados and flat whites.
  • Italian Sausage Egg Bites: Starbucks expands its popular sous-vide egg bite lineup with a savory new option featuring Italian sausage, cheese, and herbs. It’s a high-protein breakfast or snack that fits into the brand’s push for more functional, protein-rich menu items.

Returning Favorites

  • Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew: Cold brew coffee topped with pumpkin cream cold foam and a dusting of pumpkin spice.
  • Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai: A creamy, spiced chai tea with pumpkin cream cold foam.
  • Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte: A returning fan favorite made with oatmilk, espresso, and pecan syrup, topped with crunchy toppings.

Retail and Grocery Offerings

For those who prefer to sip fall flavors at home, Starbucks has already stocked shelves with its seasonal lineup:

  • Pumpkin Spice Flavored Coffee (ground, K-Cups, and Nespresso capsules)
  • Ready-to-Drink Pumpkin Spice Latte and Frappuccino bottles
  • Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew Concentrate
  • Pumpkin Spice Latte-Inspired Creamers (dairy and non-dairy)
  • Maple Pecan Latte Non-Dairy Creamer (Target exclusive)

What’s Missing This Year

Notably absent from the 2025 fall menu are several apple-themed drinks introduced last year, including the Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai, Iced Caramel Apple Cream Latte, and Iced Honey Apple Almond Milk Flat White. Starbucks is continuing its strategy to streamline seasonal offerings, focusing on high-demand items and simplifying operations.
