Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte Returns August 26, 2025

Hours Updated on

Good news, pumpkin spice fans!
Starbucks is bringing back its most famous fall drink – the Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) – on August 26, 2025. This marks the unofficial start of autumn for many coffee lovers.

The PSL is made with real pumpkin, cozy spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove, and topped with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice. Since its launch in 2003, it has become a seasonal tradition, selling millions of cups every year.

Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte Returns August

Returning Fall Favorites

Along with the classic PSL, Starbucks will bring back these popular drinks:

  • Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew – smooth cold brew with pumpkin cream foam
  • Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte – chai tea with pumpkin cream topping
  • Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte – nutty, creamy, and topped with a crunchy finish

New Drinks for Fall 2025

  • Pecan Cortado – espresso with warm pecan syrup and equal parts milk for a rich, nutty flavor
  • Italian Sausage Egg Bites – a new savory breakfast option, cooked sous-vide for a creamy texture

Fall Flavors at Home

Starbucks is also selling fall favorites in grocery stores and online, so you can enjoy them anytime:

  • Pumpkin Spice flavored coffee, Fall Blend, and Smoked Butterscotch coffee
  • Creamers – dairy and non-dairy options, including Maple Pecan Latte (exclusive to Target)
  • Ready-to-drink Pumpkin Spice Latte and Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino bottles

Why This Matters

  • Launch Date: August 26, 2025 (slightly later than last year’s Aug 22 date)
  • Cultural Icon: The PSL started the pumpkin spice craze more than 20 years ago
  • Fall Comes Early: Starbucks announced the menu earlier than ever to tap into the late-summer “Summerween” trend
