With fall right around the corner, Starbucks is introducing new items to its menu. Fall
themed items are typically brought back to the menu every year at this time. The pecan oatmilk cortado and the Italian sausage egg bites are new additions to the fall menu. The returning fall favorites include the Pumpkin Spice Latte, PumpkinCream Cold Brew, Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai, and the Pecan Crunch Oat Milk Latte. “Junior
Sawyer Higgins says she likes the Iced Pumpkin cream chai latte.” The food items include the
pumpkin cream cheese muffin and a raccoon cake pop. These seasonal offerings only last till
about November. Some of these offerings may be removed from the menu if they aren’t as
popular or well-known. The apple crisp macchiato is notably missing from the menu this year
because it wasn’t popular last fall. Starbucks is also bringing back an all-time favorite barista
drink, the single-origin Guatemala Casi Cielo coffee. “Junior Nick Winfier says the pumpkin chai
latte fills his heart with joy.” Starbucks is also preparing to release new protein cold foams and
lattes starting September 29th, 2025. Starbucks’ approach to fall is more than just drinks; it’s a
cultural moment. The pumpkin spice latte was first introduced in 2003, becoming more than a
seasonal beverage; it sparked an entire pumpkin spice movement that has influenced food, drinks,
and even pop culture across the U.S. The Pumpkin Spice latte remains Starbucks’ most successful
seasonal release, selling millions. Over time, Starbucks has continued to broaden its fall
offerings, experimenting with new flavors, formats, and food pairings. Items like the Pumpkin
Cream Cold brew have tapped into the growing demand for cold beverages, proving that fall
flavors aren’t limited to hot drinks. The Apple Crisp macchiato has shown that not every flavor
sticks, but Starbucks uses these trials to get the customers’ interest. Starbucks’ strategy is to mix
tradition and new ideas and make them into drinks and foods. Classic drinks bring sense,
