For NRIGlobe.com, we\u2019re diving into the story of this year\u2019s lineup\u2014a blend of iconic classics, innovative new flavors, and a bittersweet farewell to some fan favorites. From the return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte to the debut of a nutty Pecan Oatmilk Cortado, here\u2019s everything you need to know about Starbucks\u2019 autumnal offerings that are already stealing hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No fall season is complete without the Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL), and in 2025, it\u2019s celebrating its 22nd birthday with as much fanfare as ever. Launched on August 26\u2014a full month before the official start of fall\u2014this iconic drink remains the heart of Starbucks\u2019 seasonal menu. Made with real pumpkin, Starbucks Signature Espresso, steamed milk, and a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove, the PSL is topped with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spices. Available hot, iced, or blended, it\u2019s the cozy sip that Swifties might say feels like \u201ccardigan season.\u201d The drink\u2019s early release, a nod to the viral \u201cSummerween\u201d trend, has fans buzzing, with X posts raving about its return as the \u201cunofficial start of fall.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n But the PSL isn\u2019t alone in its pumpkin glory. Returning favorites include the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew<\/em>, a vanilla-sweetened cold brew topped with pumpkin cream cold foam, and the Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai<\/em>, a refreshing blend of spicy chai and pumpkin cream foam over ice. The Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte<\/em> also makes a triumphant comeback, available hot or iced with vanilla sweet cream cold foam, offering a nutty twist that\u2019s perfect for crisp autumn days. These drinks, crafted with real pumpkin, embody Starbucks\u2019 knack for capturing the season\u2019s essence.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Stealing the spotlight this year is the Pecan Oatmilk Cortado<\/em>, a bold new addition that\u2019s already earning rave reviews. This 8-ounce dairy-free delight combines three shots of Starbucks Blonde Espresso with steamed oatmilk, infused with pecan, brown butter, and holiday baking spices, and finished with a pecan crunch topping. \u201cThe saltiness and browned butter notes paired with toasted pecan flavors are the perfect complement to the Cortado\u2019s bold espresso base,\u201d says Patrick Penny, Starbucks\u2019 lead beverage developer. Reviewers call it a \u201croasted pecan pie in a cup,\u201d making it a must-try for those craving a break from pumpkin without losing fall\u2019s warm vibes.<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The pecan theme doesn\u2019t stop there. Fans can also customize any iced drink with Pecan Cold Foam<\/em>, a lighter, foamier alternative to whipped cream that adds a decadent nutty layer. This focus on pecans reflects Starbucks\u2019 push to innovate while staying true to autumn\u2019s cozy palette.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Starbucks\u2019 2025 fall menu isn\u2019t just about drinks\u2014its food lineup is equally enticing. The new Italian Sausage Egg Bites<\/em> are a savory standout, featuring crumbled Italian sausage, sundried tomato pesto, basil, and Monterey Jack cheese, cooked sous vide for a velvety texture. These join returning favorites like the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin<\/em>, a spiced muffin with a creamy center and crunchy pumpkin seeds, and the Raccoon Cake Pop<\/em>, a whimsical treat coated in sweet icing. Other classics include the Pumpkin & Pepita Loaf<\/em>, a moist pumpkin bread with roasted pepitas, and the Cranberry Bliss Bar<\/em>, a blondie cake with juicy cranberries and cream cheese icing. The Apple Fritter<\/em>, packed with apple chunks and cinnamon, and the Pumpkin Scone<\/em>, drizzled with sweet icing, round out a menu that\u2019s as indulgent as it is seasonal.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n For those near Starbucks Reserve Roasteries in Chicago, New York, or Seattle, exclusive treats await. Highlights include the Tiramisu Latte<\/em>, Pumpkin Spice Whiskey Barrel-Aged Manhattan<\/em>, Pumpkin S\u2019mores Tart<\/em>, and a Squash and Ricotta Galette<\/em>. The Pumpkin Spice Duo Flight<\/em>, featuring an Iced Pumpkin Spice Masala Chai Latte and a Pumpkin Spice Whiskey Barrel-Aged Cold Brew, offers a tasting experience that elevates the fall vibe.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Not every fan favorite made the cut this year, and apple lovers are feeling the sting. The Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato<\/em>, Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso<\/em>, and Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai<\/em> are notably absent from the 2025 lineup. This move aligns with Starbucks\u2019 strategy to streamline its menu, focusing on high-demand items to simplify service. While some speculate these drinks might return later in the season, their absence has sparked mixed reactions on X, with fans lamenting the loss of apple\u2019s tart, autumnal charm.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Starbucks is bringing the fall experience to grocery stores, too. Starting in early August, shelves stocked up with Pumpkin Spice Flavored Coffee<\/em>, Smoked Butterscotch Flavored Coffee<\/em>, and Fall Blend<\/em> grounds, alongside K-Cup pods. Ready-to-drink options include the Iced Espresso Pumpkin Spice Latte<\/em> and Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino Chilled Coffee Drink<\/em>. For at-home baristas, Starbucks offers Pumpkin Spice Latte-Inspired Creamer<\/em> (dairy and non-dairy) and a new Maple Pecan Latte-Inspired Non-Dairy Creamer<\/em> exclusive to Target. These products let fans savor the season long after their caf\u00e9 visit.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Starbucks\u2019 fall menu, launching earlier each year (2024\u2019s was August 22), taps into the cultural craving for seasonal rituals. The early release, timed before Labor Day, capitalizes on the excitement of \u201cSummerween\u201d and the anticipation of cooler days. As one X user put it, \u201cStarbucks dropping the PSL in August is like Christmas lights in November\u2014it\u2019s early, but I\u2019m here for it.\u201d The menu\u2019s mix of nostalgia and innovation keeps customers coming back, whether they\u2019re PSL loyalists or eager to try the new Pecan Oatmilk Cortado.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n For NRIGlobe.com readers, this menu is a reminder to embrace the fleeting magic of fall.
