Starbucks’ 2025 Seasonal Menu Is Here and Pumpkin Pie Spice Is Making a Cozy Comeback

I don’t care if it’s still 80 degrees outside the second Starbucks drops their fall menu, it’s autumn in my heart. This morning, I opened the app just to order my usual iced coffee and suddenly, there it was: the 2025 seasonal menu, staring at me in all its spicy, cinnamon-glazed glory.

And yes, before you even ask Pumpkin Pie Spice is BACK. But this year? It’s a little different. Starbucks is putting a new spin on fall, and it’s honestly kind of genius. Let’s break down what’s new, what’s returning, and what you should probably order today if you’re as pumpkin-obsessed as I am.

First, Let’s Talk Pumpkin Pie Spice

I know what you’re thinking — Pumpkin Spice has been around forever. But in 2025, Starbucks has officially rebranded the classic PSL experience into something a little more nostalgic: Pumpkin Pie Spice.

It’s richer. It’s warmer. And somehow, it actually tastes more like the real thing like your grandma’s pie, but with espresso and oatmilk Here’s what I noticed on my first sip:

• Less artificial sweetness
• More cinnamon and clove
• Creamier texture (I went with oatmilk, 10/10 would recommend)
• A toasted marshmallow finish that caught me off guard in the best way

It’s like the PSL grew up, took a cooking class, and came back wearing a flannel shirt and cozy boots. I’m into it.

What’s New on the 2025 Fall Menu?

Starbucks didn’t just bring back old favorites — they added a few brand-new items that are already creating buzz.

1. Pumpkin Pie Spice Oatmilk Latte

Think: a more balanced, less syrupy PSL. Plant-based, creamy, and way more drinkable if you’re not into overly sweet drinks.

2. Maple Butter Cold Foam Cold Brew

Cold brew topped with velvety maple butter cold foam. It’s like fall in a cup, minus the heat. Bonus: it’s smooth and not too heavy.

3. Apple Crumble Frappuccino

Yes, it’s back. And this year’s version has crunchy oat topping that actually tastes like apple pie crust. Bless whoever made this happen.

4. Pumpkin Cream Cheese Croissant

Flaky, buttery, with a swirl of spiced cream cheese baked inside. This is dangerous. I repeat: dangerous.

Returning Favorites

You know they wouldn’t dare take these away:

• Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew
• Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso
• Pumpkin Loaf (still undefeated)
• Oatmilk Chai Latte
• Salted Caramel Mocha (in select markets only — check your app!)

Pro tip: order the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew and add a single pump of white mocha. Thank me later.

Why Pumpkin Pie Spice Is Trending Right Now

Google Trends doesn’t lie — Pumpkin Pie Spice is spiking hard today, and it makes total sense. The 2025 version tastes different enough to feel new, but familiar enough to hit that cozy nostalgia button. It’s also part of a broader movement: less sugar, more flavor depth, and plant-based options that don’t sacrifice the comfort factor. It’s not just a drink anymore — it’s a vibe.

Watching Your Calories? Same.

Look, I’m not trying to ruin the fun but if you’ve ever ordered a venti frappuccino and later wondered if it counted as lunch. yeah, same.

That’s why I use this little lifesaver I found: the Starbucks Calorie Calculator. It’s super easy — just build your exact drink (milk, syrup, toppings, the whole thing) and it instantly shows you the calories, sugar, and more. I’m not saying don’t get the Pumpkin Loaf. I’m just saying maybe get one, not three. Knowledge is power.

Final Thoughts From a Seasoned Sipper

The 2025 fall menu isn’t just a recycled PSL ad. It’s cozy, it’s elevated, and it’s clearly designed for people who actually care what their drinks taste like.

Pumpkin Pie Spice isn’t just trending it’s evolving. And Starbucks got it right this year.

If you’ve been on the fence about diving back into your fall drink routine, trust me: this is the moment. Wear the flannel. Order the croissant. Add the cold foam. You deserve it. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to “accidentally” walk past Starbucks again. For research, obviously.
