Pumpkin spice fanatics, rejoice! The leaves may not be falling yet, but Starbucks is already gearing up to unleash its annual avalanche of autumnal goodness and we’ve got the inside scoop on when you can expect to wrap your mitts around a coveted Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL).

Starbucks’ iconic Pumpkin Spice Latte made its debut in 2003, quickly becoming a beloved autumn tradition for coffee enthusiasts nationwide. Over the past two decades, the seasonal beverage has garnered a dedicated following, with fans eagerly anticipating its annual return to menus across the United States.

Well mark your calendars, because according to a recent leak by instagram influencer Markie Devo, on August 22nd, Starbucks is set to drop its fall menu earlier than ever this year, proving that seasons are just a social construct when it comes to caffeinated indulgence.

The leaked menu has also revealed some additional goodies. Alongside the classic pumpkin spice latte, Starbucks is rolling out a veritable smorgasbord of pumpkin-infused delights. Brace yourselves for the return of the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato, and Chai Tea Latte.

For those who prefer their fall flavors in solid form, fear not. The Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin and Pumpkin Scone are making a triumphant return. Because nothing says “autumn” quite like cramming your face with pumpkin-flavored baked goods while it’s still swimsuit season.

But hold onto your PSL-loving hats, folks, because Starbucks is throwing a curveball this year. Rumor has it that an Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte might be joining the lineup. It’s like the PSL and Chai had a beautiful, spice-infused baby, and we’re here for it.

Now, before you start camping outside your local Starbucks, remember that this information comes from leaked sources. Starbucks is keeping mum on the official details, so we can’t confirm that this release date is definite yet, but we’ll make sure to update this story once it has been confirmed.
