Do you feel it in the air? It’s sweater weather! It seems like just yesterday, I was baking in the sun, but in reality, I was reading about pumpkin spice latte (PSL), and all things fall returning to Starbucks. Here we are, one day later and I got hit with a fresh autumn breeze this morning. I grabbed my hoodie, but... I skipped the PSL... for now. What do you think?
There are still 27 days left of summer, but Starbucks is already thinking pumpkins, flannels and spice.
The coffee giants highly anticipated fall menu is now available at Starbucks’ stores. The menu includes returning favorites, plus a nutty new beverage: the Pecan Oatmilk Cortado.
