While it may not feel like fall outside, the season has officially arrived at Starbucks. Starting this week, the coffee giant is kicking off the cozy season with the return of its iconic Pumpkin Spice Latte alongside an expanded lineup of new fall flavors, savory food and limited-edition merch.

While the original PSL remains the undisputed star of the season, Starbucks is introducing exciting new twists for iced coffee lovers and tea enthusiasts alike. Coffee fans can cool down with the new Iced Pumpkin Cream Shaken Espresso, which blends Starbucks Blonde Espresso, brown sugar, oat milk and cinnamon beneath a velvety layer of pumpkin cream cold foam. Matcha lovers get their own seasonal upgrade with the Iced Pumpkin Cream Matcha, while the new Pumpkin Spice Chai brings a warm, spiced hug to cool autumn mornings.

For those craving nutty profile notes, the Pecan Cortado and Pecan Crunch Latte make their much-anticipated return, packed with rich brown-butter flavors and baking spices. Banana flavor trends take center stage with two new year-round additions: the bakery-inspired Iced Banana Bread Latte and Iced Banana Bread Chai, both topped with luxurious brown sugar cream cold foam. For an even fresher twist, the new Iced Chaider unexpectedly pairs crisp strawberry acai with spiced chai for a refreshing cider-like experience.

The fall food menu is both whimsical and hearty. On the savory side, the new Chicken Bacon Protein Pocket packs 20 grams of protein, wrapping tender chicken, crispy bacon and garlic herb cheese in a toasted lavash flatbread. For something sweet, the adorable new Hedgehog Cake Pop features vanilla cake dipped in chocolaty icing with chocolate sprinkle "quills," while the classic Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin returns with its signature spiced pepita topping.

Dedicated PSL fans can take it to the next level with the new PSL Society merchandise line. Designed for the autumn flavor obsessives, the drop includes an iconic PSL-inspired hat alongside eye-catching drinkware like a 12-ounce Gourd Mug textured and shaped like a cozy pumpkin. The 16-ounce PSL Glass Cold Cup features seasonal art and a decorative pumpkin accent. Stainless steel cups, ceramic mugs, themed tumblers and a special Owala + Starbucks water bottle all boast PSL-inspired designs.

And of course you can enjoy your autumn brew at home, too: Starbucks fall coffees, creamers and ready-to-drink beverages are also hitting grocery shelves nationwide.
