The best parts of summer aren’t the trips to the beach, seemingly endless vacation days or the refreshing crispness of a glass of homemade lemonade. Get real. It’s obviously when Starbucks and other chain coffee shops bless us with their fall menus and beverages, typically released the week before September starts. For most people, summer ends after Labor Day weekend; for fall-lovers and coffee aficionados, it ends the minute those menus are dropped (and we’re not sorry about it). So if you have also been gripping your seat in anticipation of finally getting your hands on that sweet, sweet Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, here are all the fall 2023 menus being released at the end of this month to get even more excited.
Dunkin' (August 16)
Dunkin' will be the first coffee shop chain to grace us with the delicious taste of pumpkin spice this year. Coming to a Dunkin' near you on August 16 will be a nice mix of some older and newer menu items.
For the drinks:
- Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte
- Nutty Pumpkin Latte
- Pumpkin Swirl Iced Coffee
For the eats:
- Pumpkin Donut
- Spider Donut
- Pumpkin Muffin
- Snackin’ Bacon
- Maple Sugar Bacon Breakfast Sandwich
Starbucks (August *24)
Starbucks had their menu leaked early this year, and we’re not mad about it. On August 24, you can head on over to your nearest Starbucks location and anticipate some fan favorites being back on the menu and some exciting new options.
For the drinks:
- Signature Pumpkin Spice Latte
- Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew
- Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso
- Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Latte
For the eats:
- Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin
- Baked Apple Croissant
- Owl Cake Pop
Other Coffee Shops
While Starbucks and Dunkin' remain ahead of the game regarding fall beverages and food items, other coffee chains like to keep things under wraps as we get closer to September. Some chains to watch include Peet’s (which usually has a robust seasonal menu), Tim Horton’s, Dutch Bros and Caribou Coffee. As in previous years, those menus will drop around when Starbucks releases its fall items in stores, so be ready!
