Fall is here at Starbucks. The Pumpkin Spice Latte is back. Lots of new drinks and treats are here too. Let’s look at what’s new on the menu.
The Fall Menu Just Dropped
Starbucks rolled out its fall menu on August 25, 2026. You can get it at every store. This year mixes old favorites with new picks. There are nine returning items. There are also nine new ones.
That’s a lot to try. Let’s break it all down.
The Pumpkin Spice Latte Is Back
Fall means one thing at Starbucks. The PSL is back. It’s over 20 years old now. It’s made with real pumpkin. It has espresso and steamed milk too. You can get it hot. You can get it iced. You can get it blended.
Starbucks won’t sell it all year. The CEO has said so. That’s what makes it special. It shows up once a year. Fans wait for it every time.
New Drinks to Try This Fall
A few new drinks just joined the menu. Here’s what stands out.
Chaider is the big new one. It mixes chai and cider. It has cinnamon in it. It has warm spices too. It tastes a bit like apple cider. Order it hot. Order it iced. Your choice.
Pumpkin Spice Chai is another new pick. It blends pumpkin spice with chai. Pick this one if you want fall flavor without coffee.
Iced Pumpkin Cream Matcha is different. It mixes pumpkin cream with matcha. Matcha is a bright green tea. It’s an odd pairing. But it fits right into 2026.
Iced Banana Bread Latte tastes like banana bread. It has banana in it. It has cinnamon too. It has brown sugar as well. This one sticks around past fall.
Iced Banana Bread Chai works the same way. It’s also staying on the menu a while.
Returning Fall Favorites
Old favorites are back too. The Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew is one of them. It has cold brew. It has vanilla syrup. It has pumpkin cream cold foam on top.
The Pecan Cortado is back as well. It’s nutty. It’s buttery. It has warm baking spices in it.
The Iced Pecan Crunch Latte rounds things out. Fans loved it before. Now it’s back for another year.
New Food Items
Starbucks added new food too, not just drinks.
The Chicken Bacon Protein Pocket is one new pick. It uses whole-wheat flatbread. It’s filled with chicken and bacon. It has a creamy garlic-herb spread too. Pick this if you want something filling.
There’s a new treat in the bakery case too. The Hedgehog Cake Pop is vanilla cake and buttercream. It’s dipped in chocolate icing. It’s topped with chocolate sprinkles. It’s cute. It’s a fun new twist on past cake pops.
Returning Food Favorites
The Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin is back this year. It’s a spiced pumpkin muffin. It has sweet cream cheese inside. It’s topped with spiced pepitas.
Why Starbucks Is Leaning Into Fall
This isn’t just about pumpkin spice. Starbucks wants customers back. Sales have slowed lately. Some stores have closed too. So the company is pushing new products hard.
This fall menu is part of a bigger plan. Starbucks calls it “Back to Starbucks.” The goal is simple. Make the brand stronger. Keep stores simple. Make customers happier.
Seasonal drinks like the PSL bring big attention every year. Starbucks is using that attention to help turn things around.
A Fun Partnership This Year
Starbucks didn’t launch quietly this time. The brand teamed up with Martha Stewart. It also worked with actor Belmont Cameli. Together, they helped promote the launch. They leaned into that cozy, sweater-weather feeling fall brings.
When Can You Get These Items?
Everything on this list is here now. The fall menu launched on August 25, 2026. You can find it at Starbucks stores nationwide. Some items won’t stay long. Others, like the banana bread drinks, will stick around a while.
Final Thoughts
The Starbucks menu just got a big fall update. The Pumpkin Spice Latte leads the way, just like it has for over 20 years. New picks like the Chaider and Pumpkin Spice Chai give you more options. Whether you love the classic PSL or want to try something new, there’s plenty to order this fall.
