The Starbucks fall menu is officially here, and yes, the Pumpkin Spice Latte returned before the temperature outside got the memo.
Starbucks announced that its 2026 fall lineup would launch on August 25, 2026. That date has now passed, and the fall menu is live at participating U.S. Starbucks coffeehouses. This year’s menu brings back the PSL and Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, adds three new pumpkin drinks, and gives pecan, banana bread and chai their own moment.
Here is the lineup Starbucks officially announced—and what is actually new this year.
When did the Starbucks fall menu launch in 2026?
The Starbucks fall menu launched on Tuesday, August 25, 2026.
Starbucks publicly announced the date on August 3 and published a complete seasonal guide on August 24. The current Starbucks fall menu is now available with ordering links. Availability can still vary by store, and seasonal items may sell out.
Which pumpkin drinks are back?
- Pumpkin Spice Latte
- Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew
- Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai
- Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino Blended Beverage
The PSL is the obvious celebrity here, but the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew remains the choice for anyone who wants fall flavor without drinking a hot latte while it is still aggressively summer outside.
What is new on the Starbucks fall menu for 2026?
- Iced Pumpkin Cream Shaken Espresso: Blonde espresso shaken with brown sugar syrup and cinnamon, served with oatmilk and pumpkin cream cold foam.
- Iced Pumpkin Cream Matcha: iced matcha topped with pumpkin cream cold foam.
- Pumpkin Spice Chai: spiced black tea with steamed milk, pumpkin sauce and pumpkin spice topping.
- Iced Chaider: chai combined with strawberry açaí flavors for a cider-inspired drink.
These are official menu drinks. You do not need a secret-menu nickname or a complicated drive-through script to order them. Look for each drink by its official name in the Starbucks app or current online menu.
Which pecan drinks returned?
- Pecan Cortado
- Iced Pecan Crunch Latte
- Pecan Crunch Latte
Starbucks describes the pecan lineup as having nutty, brown-buttery and baking-spice flavors. Because recipes and ingredient handling matter for allergies, check Starbucks’ current ingredient information rather than treating a flavor name as an allergy guarantee.
What are the new banana bread drinks?
- Iced Banana Bread Latte: Blonde espresso, banana syrup, milk and ice, topped with brown sugar cream cold foam and cinnamon dolce topping.
- Iced Banana Bread Chai: chai, banana syrup, brown sugar cream cold foam and cinnamon dolce topping.
Starbucks says these two drinks will be available beyond the fall season. Store availability can still vary.
What food is on the Starbucks fall menu?
The Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin is back. Starbucks also introduced two new food items:
- Hedgehog Cake Pop: vanilla cake and buttercream dipped in chocolaty icing and finished with chocolate sprinkles.
- Chicken Bacon Protein Pocket: chicken, bacon and garlic-herb cheese spread in toasted whole-wheat lavash. Starbucks lists it with 20 grams of protein.
Can you order the Starbucks fall menu in the app?
Starbucks currently shows the 2026 fall menu online with ordering links for listed drinks. Menu participation and item availability can vary by location, so check your selected store in the Starbucks app or on Starbucks.com before making a special trip.
There is no need to ask a barista to sell unreleased ingredients. The official launch has already happened.
Does Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Sauce contain dairy?
Current Starbucks ingredient information for drinks made with pumpkin cream lists condensed skim milk in the pumpkin spice sauce. Pumpkin cream cold foam also contains milk and cream.
Starbucks warns that it cannot guarantee unpackaged drinks are allergen-free because stores use shared equipment. Anyone managing an allergy should review the current ingredient listing for the exact drink and speak with Starbucks directly.
