As the summer winded down and fall kicked into gear, many different restaurants and cafes switch to seasonal menus. 

On Tuesday, Aug 26., Starbucks released its highly anticipated 2025 Fall Menu. 

“I have been waiting all year for this, and I’m so excited it’s back,” said junior Nikita Bhasin. 

This seasonal release included iconic items, such as the Pumpkin Spice Latte and Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins. It also introduced new items, like Pecan Oatmilk Cortado and Italian Sausage Egg Bites.  

As a huge Starbucks fan, I tried some of the items from the fall menu. 

I would recommend the Iced Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte as a fan of pecan pie. It was slightly on the sweeter and milkier side but still enjoyable and had a great pecan taste. 

My next taste test of the well-known Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte disappointed me, however. I could barely taste the pumpkin flavor. Although I’m not a huge pumpkin fan myself, I was hoping to get more flavor out of this drink. 

Lastly, I had an Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai. This drink was much better than I expected: it had a delicious pumpkin cold foam sprinkled with a pumpkin spice topping. This drink had a really good balanced pumpkin flavor, not too milky and not too strong. 

Overall, I enjoyed the Starbucks Fall Menu and highly recommend it to others. Now, I’m looking forward to the Winter Menu!
