As the breeze gets cooler, to get back into the holiday spirit, Starbucks has returned with their original fall menu, as well as new items to “spice” things up. Starbucks provides their customers with a varied selection of drinks, and often brings in seasonal menu items as well.
Starting with the originals, the Pumpkin Spice Latte, Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, and Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin have been the customer’s top favorites. The espresso and pumpkin
sauce in the Pumpkin Spice Latte, mixed with any choice of milk, gives you that fall feeling in one sip. The Pumpkin Spice Latte is the most comforting when in the mood for something to make me feel cozy and energized. Customers also love the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew which tastes of sweet pumpkin coffee, that gives off a fall time serotonin when taking sips of it. Lastly, an exquisite treat to go alongside a morning pumpkin latte or cold brew is the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin. The combination of cream cheese within a pumpkin-pie-tasting muffin is surprisingly a delicious mix.
The Iced Apple Crisp Oat Milk Shaken Espresso, Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte, and the Baked Apple Croissant have made their way onto the menu for the first time. The ultimate fall drink, if pumpkin is not your cup of tea, is the Iced Apple Crisp Oat Milk Shaken Espresso. The delicious combination of the sweet apple and oat milk with espresso is heavenly, and made people who wanted to get the same fall vibe, but didn’t like pumpkin, excited to see a fall menu item that wasn’t pumpkin related.
The Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea is definitely an eye-catcher. It tastes of the most perfect hint of the fall season, combining the tastes of cinnamon, pumpkin, and sugar, with a creamy and warm texture. This Pumpkin Chai Tea was my top favorite drink. It consists of the perfect sweetness to the pumpkin flavor, and doesn’t have any coffee. Lastly, the Baked Apple Croissant is also definitely my favorite fall menu food item, consisting of a satisfying texture, inside and out. The flakey, buttery crust, along with the apple filling is the best combination when biting into the dessert.
The diversity of the new fall menu allows the customers to choose between the different items depending on their preferences. The satisfaction in every bite of the desserts makes for anticipation for the new fall menu items to grow.
