When does Starbucks fall menu come out in 2024? Here’s what we know

Update: Read about the new Starbucks drink for 2024.

It may seem early to be thinking about fall, with the weather in Phoenix still reaching well over 100 degrees daily. But despite what the weather app would have you believe, fall is truly just around the corner. Or, at least, it is at Starbucks, where the cozy season is ushered in with the arrival of the pumpkin spice latte.

The PSL was first developed in the early 2000s and, in the years since, has become a defining pillar of autumn. The drink, made with cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg and topped with whipped cream and a dash of pumpkin pie topping, is consistently the coffee giant’s best-selling seasonal item. Which may explain why they roll it out so early. But how early?

Here’s when fellow fall lovers can expect the return of the pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks.
