Coming into the gloomy and breezing fall season, Starbucks takes an approach once again on the new fall drinks and bakery treats. Starbucks fall menu is something to look forward to every year as the delicious drinks and pastries are a delight to enjoy. Starbucks has the same seasonal fall drinks and sweet treats as every year, in addition with some new items. The fall menu this year includes the pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin cream cold brew, pumpkin spice frappe, apple crisp oat milk macchiato, apple crisp oat milk shaken espresso, iced apple crisp non-dairy cream chai, baked apple croissant, pumpkin scone, pumpkin bread, and the new raccoon cake pop. Taking a bite of a bakery item or taking a sip of a drink, is like a taste of fall in one so don’t miss out!
As a first time tryer, the pumpkin spice latte is the way to go as the chai tastes like a pumpkin dream. This classic drink is one of the originals that was first made on the fall menu but can never go wrong. The latte includes a pumpkin chai base which is topped with pumpkin cold foam and pumpkin powder on top. The cold foam just melts into the mouth like a cloud. To pair the latte, the pumpkin loaf is so buttery and fluffy, which makes a fantastic duo!
Secondly, The pumpkin cream cold brew is a perfect drink for the mornings to get set for the day. The base includes Starbucks regular cold brew, added with the flavorful pop of pumpkin syrup and vanilla. The drink is then topped with the creamy pumpkin cold foam and sprinkled with pumpkin spice powder. The drink isn’t too strong from the cold brew but has a perfect balance of sweetness. Overall, this is a great choice from the menu!
Next, the pumpkin frappe is a burst of pumpkin and coffee combined. This iced beverage has that perfect creamy texture that is not too overpowering with pumpkin and coffee but has a refreshing taste. This drink includes delicious flavors such as pumpkin syrup, coffee, ice, and milk of choice. When the base is blended, it is topped with the smooth whipped cream and drizzled with pumpkin spice. This is a superior drink that can never go wrong as it is a fall favorite.
The new apple crisp oat milk macchiato has a splendid amount of flavors that just runs through the tastebuds. This drink includes apple syrup, cinnamon powder, creamy oat milk,and brown sugar. When the drink is finished making, this drink resembles the taste of apple pie. On the top it is drizzled with an apple crisp foam. While this drink is new it is one to stay in the favorites.
Similar to the apple crisp oat milk macchiato, Starbucks presents the apple crisp oat milk shaken espresso and the iced apple crisp non dairy cream chai. Starting off with the apple crisp shaken espresso, it includes a base of apple, cinnamon, and brown sugar. It is then shaken together to blend all of the tasty flavors together to create a rich apple expresso, and is topped with oat milk foam for a perfectly balanced flavor and a comforting fall treat. Next, the iced apple cream chai is blended with savory chai spices, creamy oat milk and ice. It is finally topped with silky vanilla cold foam, made with apple brown sugar flavored syrup.
Finally, the fall baked goods including the baked apple croissant, pumpkin scone, pumpkin bread, and the racoon cake pop are perfect additions to pair with the fall drinks. Starting off with the baked apple croissant, it is made with layers of croissant dough infused with apple filling in each layer and is topped with powdered sugar.
Next the pumpkin scone embraces a pumpkin cookie like base and is topped with vanilla icing with a drizzle of pumpkin syrup. The pumpkin bread is a warm soft pumpkin bread that is topped with crunchy pepitas. Finally, the Racoon cake pop has a vanilla cake base that is infused with feathery butter cream then dipped with gray icing and then finished with a raccoon face design by chocolate.
The Starbucks fall menu is a great opportunity to get a whiff of an autumn treat. Mia Moyer, a Saugus Student, said, “when I first tried the pumpkin iced chai latte, I immediately got shocked with the astonishing flavors of pumpkin and I will be definitely coming back to try the other fall drinks.”
