As the summer days begin to wind down and the air starts to feel a bit crisper, many coffee lovers eagerly anticipate the arrival of Starbucks‘ fall drinks. While the official release date has not been announced yet, history suggests that the launch is imminent.
Starbucks, the renowned international coffee chain headquartered in Seattle, typically unveils its fall lineup during the third or fourth week of August. Over the past few years, the official fall launch dates have ranged from August 24 to August 30. This annual event serves as a signal to many that autumn is just around the corner, despite the lingering heat of summer.
Recently, a social media influencer known as @markie_devo shared insider information about Starbucks‘ upcoming fall launch. According to his post, the anticipated date for this year’s release is August 22, a bit earlier than usual. The post also revealed some exciting new additions to the fall menu, including a vanilla-flavored raccoon cake pop and a non-dairy iced apple crisp cream chai, alongside the classic Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL), pumpkin cream cold brew, pumpkin cream cheese muffin, and apple crisp macchiato with oat milk.
In addition to these new offerings, Starbucks is set to introduce an iced pecan crunch latte with oat milk and a mummy-inspired cookie on September 19. This year marks the 21st anniversary of the iconic Pumpkin Spice Latte, a beverage that has become synonymous with the arrival of fall and has even inspired other seasonal treats like the Pumpkin Spice Slurpee from 7-Eleven.
For those who can’t wait for Starbucks‘ fall drinks to hit the stores, the company has made some of its popular seasonal offerings available for purchase at retailers nationwide. Items such as the iced espresso pumpkin spice latte and pumpkin spice cold brew concentrate are already on shelves, along with fall roasts and smoked butterscotch-flavored items.
