Listen up, witches, it's that time of year.
Starbucks's most popular seasonal drink, the pumpkin spice latte (aka, the PSL!), is coming back, y'all. The return of the pumpkin-and-cinnamon-flavored beverage that warms the hearts of millions of Americans every year means summer is officially over, and fall has finally begun. #SorryNotSorry, pumpkin spice haters and summer lovers.
For those who are wondering when the pumpkin spice latte will come out, get your flannels and your favorite pair of Ugg boots out of storage, because the PSL is about to take over the entirety of your Instagram feed.
When does the pumpkin spice latte return to Starbucks this year?
With summer coming to an end, our #basic hearts can't help but search for what we've been missing for almost a year.
Fortunately, fans of the pumpkin-spiced sweetness don't have to wait much longer for the widely beloved drink — which many consumers describe as fall in a cup — because the PSL and the pumpkin spice cold brew coffee will begin launching in stores on Thursday, Aug. 22, 2024, two days earlier than it did in 2023.
Along with announcing the Pumpkin Spice Latte’s return, the coffee chain teased fans with a sneak peek of the mouthwatering pumpkin spice-themed treats and drinks hitting the menu in 2024.
The upcoming Starbucks fall menu is reviving plenty of classics while also introducing irresistible new drinks like the Pumpkin Spice Affogato, Pumpkin Spice Whiskey Barrel-Aged Cold Brew, and — brace yourself — the Pumpkin Spice Chai Martini! Just a heads-up: These drinks and treats might only be available at select locations, so check your local Starbucks menu before heading out. We wouldn't want any broken hearts!
Some of the delectable treats teased by the coffee chain include the Pumpkin Croffle, Pumpkin Spice Cake, Pear and Almond Tart, and 4 Stagioni Pizza. Yum!
Starbucks has a pumpkin spice coffee creamer, so you can skip the PSL line.
Starbucks has enabled all of us to satisfy our PSL cravings with Starbucks's Pumpkin Spice Latte creamer, which was released in August 2018. We expect the seasonal product be sold soon at most grocery stores across the country.
In 2021, Starbucks released these at-home seasonal products.
Our beloved Starbies has also given #basic folks what they want in the comfort of their homes: an entire seasonal line of pumpkin-inspired items. Based on 2021's lineup (pumpkin spice K-Cups, instant lattes, ground coffee, pumpkin spice latte almond and oat milk coffee creamer, pumpkin spice cold brew concentrate, and more), there will surely be so many ways to satisfy our basic, fall-loving taste buds this year as well.
When will the pumpkin spice latte return to Dunkin'?
Dunkin' revealed on Instagram on Aug. 21, 2024, that its pumpkin-spice treats and drinks are making a comeback on Aug. 28, 2024, in a delightfully quirky way:"Apparently i’m not allowed to say when pumpkin comes out but it rhymes with shmaugust shwenty shmeighth."
Social media is always hype about the pumpkin spice latte's return.
At last, Starbucks has given the people what they've been asking for, so in the spirit of basic betches, we rounded up some of the greatest tweets surrounding the bougie beverage. Check them out below!
