First introduced in 2003, the autumnal spiced beverage has asserted itself in the company roster, becoming the most popular seasonal beverage.
Available hot, iced or blended, the Pumpkin Spice Latte has become an annual rite of late summer, and signals to drinkers that a change of season is upon us.
But while fans are celebrating the comeback, they’ll also be disappointed to learn that one beloved fall favorite has quietly disappeared from the menu – the Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato.
Starbucks unveiled their 2025 autumn offerings on their website, and said in addition to their Pumpkin Slice Latte, some popular options are back.
They are bringing back their Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, the Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai, and the Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte.
A brand new Pecan Oatmilk Cortado is joining the seasonal lineup, as well as Italian Sausage Egg Bites for those after a savory breakfast option.
For those who want their fall flavors at home, Starbucks has also rolled out an expanded grocery range.
Pumpkin Spice coffees and creamers are now available online and in grocery stores nationwide, including roast & ground coffee, K-Cups, and Nespresso capsules.
Their Pumpkin Spice Flavored Coffee has notes of pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg together with Starbucks light roast coffee.
All you need to do is add a splash of cream and a little sugar to “evoke flavors reminiscent of Starbucks iconic Pumpkin Spice Latte.”
The range also features the popular Pumpkin Spice Creamer and a non-dairy version, both blending pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Ready-to-drink options are also back, including the Iced Espresso Pumpkin Spice Latte, which has an estimated cost of $6.99.
There is also their Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino Chilled Coffee Drink, which is $4.19 for 13.7 fl oz.), and looks perfect for anyone who wants their seasonal fix on the go.

The seasonal collection will only be available for a limited time while supplies last, making today the unofficial start of fall for Starbucks fans everywhere.
Many Starbucks fans seemed over the moon for the launch, with one saying: “Pumpkin spice for LIFE!!!”
Another added: “I can’t wait for cozy season!”
However one said: “I DONT CARE I WANT APPLE.”
