Starbucks’ 2025 fall menu — including the Pumpkin Spice Latte — is scheduled to launch on Tuesday, August 26, 2025 in U.S. stores.

When Is Starbucks Fall Menu 2025?

Key date at a glance

  • National launch date: August 26, 2025.
  • What returns: Pumpkin Spice Latte, Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai, and Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte.
  • What’s new: A Pecan Cortado (also described as a pecan-flavored cortado/oatmilk cortado in some coverage) and Italian Sausage Egg Bites as a savory fall item.

In other words, if you’re planning ahead, you’ll want to mark late August 2025 as the unofficial start of “pumpkin season” at Starbucks.

How early is the 2025 fall launch?

  • Reports note that August 26, 2025 is a bit later than Starbucks’ record-early launch in 2024 (August 22), but still earlier than the traditional September releases from years past.
  • Over roughly the last decade, Starbucks has slowly moved the fall menu earlier into August, tracking online hype around Halloween and “Summerween.”

The 2025 fall lineup was publicly unveiled in July 2025, with Starbucks explicitly linking the timing to social media buzz about people wanting fall flavors before summer officially ends.

What’s actually on the fall 2025 menu?

Here’s a quick breakdown of the main items mentioned across news and reviews.

Core drinks

  • Pumpkin Spice Latte (hot, iced, and blended availability varies by store).
  • Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew.
  • Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai.
  • Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte.
  • Pecan Cortado (sometimes called Pecan Oatmilk Cortado in reviews).

Food items

  • Italian Sausage Egg Bites, described as a new savory fall addition.

Some 2024 apple-focused seasonal drinks (like Iced Apple Crisp variants) are not part of the highlighted 2025 fall lineup in several early write-ups.

Timing details & small caveats

  • Company-operated U.S. stores are expected to show the fall items in the app and POS starting the morning of August 26, often around opening time.
  • Licensed locations (in grocery stores, airports, Targets, campuses) may lag a bit, so a few customers could see the menu a day or two later.

If you don’t see the fall drinks in your app on the morning of August 26, it’s likely due to being near a licensed cafe or local rollout timing, not a different national date.
