Starbucks says how about those apples with its 2024 fall menu

The school bell has rung, and it must be time for the Starbucks fall menu announcement. While the iconic Pumpkin Spice Latte is back, another fall food is the centerpiece of this season’s offerings. There is a bushel of apple offerings, and it is time pick one to try.  

Fall flavors tend to fall into certain categories. While Starbucks might have pioneered the pumpkin spice latte, other fall food and flavors have been part of the conversation for longer than a couple of decades.

Apples tend to be one of those flavors. From the apple cider doughnuts and caramel apples to even just bobbing for apples at a fair, the reality is that apples and fall are always a favorite combination. It might not be an apple a day to keep the doctor away, but it is a tasty way to celebrate the change of seasons.

What is new on the Starbucks 2024 fall menu?

According to the company, the new beverage on the Starbucks 2024 fall menu is the Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai. Inspired by a classic apple pie, the balance of the chai spices and the apple feels like a warm hug. Paired with the creamy oatmilk texture, the beverage almost feels like an apple pie a la mode. That combination of spices, apple, and creaminess captures that sense memory of the classic dessert.

Also, the iced option is a good choice for the early fall launch. Given that many people appreciate a colder beverage on a warm day, it is smart choice for the early kickoff.

In addition to the new Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai, Starbucks has brought back the Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso and Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato.

Ready to fall for all the Starbucks pumpkin beverages?

Now in its 21st season, Starbucks’ pumpkin spice latte is back. While many people would love to have those warm baking spices swirled in their coffee all year round, the reality is that the seasonal beverage is even better once the leaves start to show their color. Whether you blast some extra AC to get the temperature drop or just imagine that crisp chill, the PSL is always satisfying.

For people who want to ease into the fall flavors, the returning beverages, Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai and fan-favorite Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, are great options. Sometimes the cold temperature beverages can be a good bridge to fall.

What Starbucks food items join the fall menu?

Since a sweet treat can make that fall beverage even more satisfying, Starbucks has new and returning food items. The new Raccoon Cake Pop offers an adorable visual. Just think of the fun that this little critter will bring to that afternoon break.

Other fall food items include Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin, Baked Apple Croissant, and Pumpkin Loaf. Whether these items are breakfast, lunch, or an anytime treat, people are hungry to enjoy all the seasonal delights.
