It is truly wild that we as a society have been witnessing and/or experiencing the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte for 21 years now since the PSL first debuted way back in 2003. Many years pass by where I don’t indulge in a single Pumpkin Spice Latte but I sure as heck enjoy one when I think to order it, and when I saw that the alleged 2024 Starbucks Fall menu had leaked my curiosity was peaked.
For starters, we are almost 2 full months (52 days) until the first official day of Fall on September 22nd. I’m currently staring at weather reports with the first of what is likely to be several tropical storms headed my way before Fall, so it’s hard for me to be thinking about pumpkin/apple flavored anything and crisp fall air when it feels like a literal steam room outside today but here we are….
The alleged 2024 Starbucks Fall Menu was first leaked by @markie_devo who shared the OG items and the new items making an appearance this year:
New Items On 2024 Starbucks Fall Menu
The new items include:
Drink: NEW Iced Apple Crisp Cream Chai(nondairy)
Drink: NEW Iced Pecan Crunch Latte Oatmilk
Drink: NEW Salted Pecan Cream Cold Foam
Food: NEW Raccoon Cake Pop(vanilla)
Food: NEW Mummy Cookie
In order, I gotta go with:
#1 Iced Pecan Crunch Latte Oatmilk. Never have I ever ordered anything like that in my life but I’m a sucker for pecans and I have a feeling that one is going to go hard.
#2: Raccoon Cake Pop. This one is going to be a hit with kids. It will be the easiest sell in the world to get them to go to Starbucks once they see this thing.
#3: Salted Pecan Cream Cold Foam. This has my name written all over it. I’ll likely order this one first.
#4: Mummy Cookie. It is perfect for the Fall/Halloween season.
#5: Iced Apple Crisp Cream Chai. I have very low expectations here. I’ve never found something that is supposed to taste like apple actually taste like apple in a good way. My suspicion is they’ll lean heavily on the ‘crisp’ portion of that name but I’ve been wrong in the past at least once before in my life and I could be wrong again.
As for the other items on the 2024 Starbucks Fall menu that are returning, the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin goes hard. Don’t sleep on that. The PSL’s are famous for a reason, they’re so good if your stomach can handle them. And I have yet to try the baked apple croissant but this might by my year.
