Whether you love or dislike the Pumpkin Spice Latte, Starbucks is launching its 2024 fall menu on Thursday, August 22, featuring this beloved drink and more.
The much-anticipated fall menu, which introduces the often-debated Pumpkin Spice Latte, is reappearing at Starbucks.

Additionally, Starbucks is set to release a fresh collection of drinkware for a limited period, featuring “multicolored cold cups and vibrant autumn-colored tumblers” to mark the arrival of fall.
