Craving that first-of-the-season sip of pumpkin spice? Well, the wait for fall’s most beloved flavor is officially over now that Starbucks has launched its new line of Fall-seasoned menu items. 

Fall fans still have a bit of time to wait for crisp cool weather, but to help indulge your fall cravings, Starbucks has finally launched its fall menu, including a new fall-inspired drink. Starbucks is out of hazelnut syrup and a few other favorites at the moment, but not to worry because the brand has released an Apple Crisp Macchiato to join its fall drink lineup.

Coffee prices are rising, but that won’t stop us from getting in line for our favorite sweet pumpkin flavored drinks. PSL enthusiasts can enjoy the sweet fall flavors of pumpkin spice donuts and, of course, a pumpkin spice latte from various coffee and food retailers ready to ring in the fall season.

When will Dunkin' have pumpkin spice?

Dunkin' made history on August 18 surprising us will the earliest release of a fall menu to date—beating out Starbucks. The brand made the announcement on Twitter spurring most fall fans to get their hands on a PSL latte.

“Pumpkin @ Dunkin’, tomorrow,” the brand proclaims.

In 2019, the world was introduced to a new pumpkin-flavored creation, the pumpkin cream cold brew, which debuted at Starbucks. This year, Dunkin’ is following suit with a pumpkin cream cold brew, expanding the company’s offerings of pumpkin-spiced–flavored options. 

Most Dunkin’ menu items can have pumpkin spice added into it, including coffees, espresso, hot chocolate, chai lattes, and more. 

While Dunkin’ Donuts may be the first to debut its fall menu, other coffee shops have followed suit. Non-coffee-drinkers can also look forward to more pumpkin-flavored drinks and foods from brands including Cheerios and Dairy Queen.
