Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino – $6.95 (Grande)
This isn’t just a normal drink, it’s the drink people wait all year for! It’s a cold and creamy pumpkin tasting delight, topped with lots of whipped cream. It is tastes like pumpkin spice just got hired as the new CEO of Starbucks.
Verdict: AMAZING but dangerous. The first few sips are the best but by the time you get to the bottom you’re probably chatgpting “Does caffeine cancel out a sugar crash?”
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin – $3.95
Creamy, moist, rich, and crazy stuffed with cream cheese. It’s definitely not a side snack as it’s full of sugar in pastry form. The pumpkin spice topping gives “grandma’s pumpkin cheesecake,” while the calories in it give “grandma is probably getting diabetes”. Definitely cream cheese therapy for $3.95.
Verdict: Worth every crumb. However, if you’re looking for something light this is definitely not for you.
Pumpkin Chai Latte – $5.95 (Grande)
This is my absolutely favorite drink EVER. You take chai, add pumpkin, and then add 199 Pinterest boards of “cozy Fall vibes” and it becomes a Pumpkin Chai Latte. It’s sweet, foamy, and feels like Fall in your taste buds. A couple of sips and you’re planning a trip to a pumpkin patch in a Fall sweater.
Verdict: Amazing, delectable, and lots of sugar. AKA diabetes in a cup, but irresistible.
Baked Apple Croissant – $3.75
This pastry looks amazing. Flaky layers with warm cinnamon glazed apples inside. You’ll definitely finish it in three bites and probably get a couple more. Most definitely an underrated gem.
Verdict: The quiet MVP of the Fall lineup.
The year’s Starbucks Fall menu isn’t small at all. It’s loud, super sweet and overpriced.
