When Do Pumpkin Spice Lattes Come Back to Starbucks?

Get ready! The Pumpkin Spice Latte returns to Starbucks on Tuesday, Aug. 26, 2025. The lineup was announced via press release on July 21. Per our sources, baristas are told not to serve pumpkin-flavored syrup before the official launch date. So you might be waiting in a pretty long drive-thru line to get yours.

The rest of the Starbucks fall menu is also expected on Aug. 26 — including the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai, and more. And then on Sept. 16, you’ll see another drop featuring Starbucks Halloween items.

Here are the other limited-time offerings currently on the Starbucks fall menu (and the prices we predict based on inflation and increases we’ve seen in the past):

Pumpkin Spice Latte ($6.50)
Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew ($6.25)
Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai ($6.50)
Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte ($6.50)
New! Pecan Oatmilk Cortado ($4.95)
New! Italian Sausage Egg Bites ($5.45)

*These are predicted prices for Grande drinks.

How to Get the PSL for Free

The easiest way to get a free Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks is to use 200 Stars from your Starbucks Rewards account. Order on the app and opt to use 200 Stars at checkout. If you’re ordering in person, let your barista know you’ll be exchanging Stars for your free drink.

Earn Stars faster by always reloading and paying with your Starbucks card in the app. You’ll get two Stars per $1 spent, meaning you earn a free drink after spending $100 instead of $200.

Iced Pumpkin Spice Coffee (Cheaper Dupe)

If you're a fan of the PSL on ice, you can get a cheaper version by creating a spiced-up iced coffee. Order a Grande Iced Coffee Blend and add 3 pumps of Pumpkin Spice sauce and a splash of your choice of milk — it'll ring up for $4.75. Add whipped cream and cinnamon powder on top for free.

How Long Will Pumpkin Spice Lattes Be Available at Starbucks?

Most stores will offer it through the end of the year as long as they still have it in stock. Around the time of the holiday menu launch, stores usually can no longer order pumpkin spice, so they'll use it until they run out.

When Will Other Coffee Retailers Have Pumpkin Spice?

Starbucks isn’t the only coffee chain dropping a fall menu later in August. We’ll also see limited-time seasonal drinks from Dunkin’, Krispy Kreme, and more.
