Pumpkin Spice Latte is back: Starbucks’ 'most popular seasonal drink returns to US and Canada. Check price

Starbucks is bringing back the beloved Pumpkin Spice Latte and newer favorite Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew Tuesday, and that too without a price hike. Pumpkin lovers can sip the flavors of the season when the coffee chain’s fall menu returns August 26 nationwide.

The Seattle-based coffee giant launched its 2025 fall menu today, maintaining its tradition of releasing autumn-themed treats late in the summer. The Pumpkin Spice Latte and the entire pumpkin lineup celebrate “the unofficial start of fall,” according to the company announcement.

Soon, you can enjoy the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai, and Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte at Starbucks. Starbucks also continues its focus on craft coffee with the Pecan Cortado, an espresso drink blended with equal parts milk and a nut-forward syrup.

Pumpkin spice latte makes a comeback

The seasonal Pumpkin Spice Latte has returned to Starbucks menus in the US and Canada. The Pumpkin Spice Latte is Starbucks’ most popular seasonal beverage, with hundreds of millions sold since the espresso drink’s 2003 launch.

It’s also produced a host of imitations. Dunkin’ introduced pumpkin-flavored drinks in 2007; it beat Starbucks to market this year when its fall menu debuted last week. According to Axios, Starbucks said last year 10% of sales come from returning favorites. Starbucks said Monday that the PSL is its "most popular seasonal beverage of all time."

A Starbucks spokesperson told Axios the price of Starbucks limited-time-only seasonal beverages haven't increased from last year. Prices differ depending on location, with a grande Pumpkin Spice Latte costing between $5.75 and $7.25 at company-owned U.S. stores. Meanwhile, a grande Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew is priced between $5.25 and $5.95.

A new "Pumpkin Premium" survey by Empower, which polled 2,200 Americans, revealed that 44% believe inflation and tariffs are driving up the cost of pumpkin-flavored products.

Still, pumpkin spice fever runs strong — one in three shoppers say they’re willing to pay extra for pumpkin-spice treats. On average, Americans spend $32 a month on pumpkin-flavored items during fall, with millennials splurging nearly double at $64.

Starbucks said its pumpkin drinks use real pumpkin, sourced from Washington state farmer Jeff Leber, who has supplied the kabocha pumpkins used in PSLs and Pumpkin Cream Cold Brews since 2018.
