Returning Fall Bakery Favorites
Customers can also delve into old fall favorites including, Pumpkin Scones, Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins, Pumpkin Iced Sugar Cookies, and Bantam Bagels.
Fall Drinks
Pumpkin Spice Latte
The PSL is by far one of Starbucks’ most popular seasonal beverages. This year marks the PSL’s 13th year; handcrafted with espresso and steamed milk, topped off with whipped cream and a dash of pumpkin pie topping, it’s easy to see why the PSL remains a crowd-pleaser.
Salted Caramel Mocha
The Salted Caramel Mocha is once again listed on Starbucks’ fall menu, made from a blend of toffee nut syrup and mocha sauce combined with coffee and milk, then topped with sweetened whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and a blend of turbinado sugar and sea salt.
Chile Mocha
The Chile Mocha joined the PSL this fall to bring a little heat to the spice party. Made with espresso and steamed milk infused with a cocoa and cinnamon powder, topped with a dollop of whipped cream and finished with a sprinkle of Chile Mocha topping, consisting of ancho and cayenne chile pepper, cinnamon, paprika, sugar, and a touch of sea salt. The Chile Mocha is also available as a Frappuccino, or as a coffee-free hot chocolate.
