I’m still in firm denial that summer is ever going to end, but Starbucks is already ready for fall. Their Pumpkin Spiced Latte seems to be released earlier and earlier every year, and now they are coming out with a grocery store version in August. *Cue falling leaves and aesthetic apple picking Instas*
Here are all the deets on the newest Starbucks grocery store products that highlight that Pumpkin Spice flavor you either love or love to hate.
Ready-to-Drink Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte
Say goodbye to your bottled Califia Farms Nitro cold brews and cold brew lattes and check out these transportable PSLs. These beverages are chock full of arabica coffee, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove spices, and creamy milk. It’s basically the iced PSL you love to order in stores minus the whipped cream topping (so I’m telling myself they are healthy).
This drink is honestly a steal too. It’s sold for $2.79 per 14 oz bottle, while the in stores grande iced version (which is 16 oz, but I’m accounting for at least 2 oz of ice) rings up between $4.25 and $4.75, depending on the location.
I would recommend bringing this drink to your long af lecture. Unlike the in-stores alternative, you can pull it out in the middle of class and you won’t have to deal with the noise of the ice you’re pushing around with your straw (ice seems 100 times louder in a quiet classroom). Talk about getting more bang for your buck.
Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Flavored Ground Coffee
While most of the Pumpkin Spice products offered at Starbucks usually involve espresso rather than regular drip coffee, drip coffee is getting in on the party this year. This light roast is blended with pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg for the perfect fall treat.
This product is only useful if you have a the ability to brew real coffee grounds in your dorm room, but they also will be selling K-Cups for us plebeians without a gourmet coffee maker.
Other Offerings
Starbucks will continue stocking grocery stores with their old reliable fall faves. Whether you want some Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Caffé Latte K-Cup Pods, Starbucks Iced Espresso Classics Pumpkin Spice Latte, Starbucks VIA Instant Pumpkin Spice Latte, or Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino Chilled Coffee Drink, you’ll be able to find it at your local grocery store. Basically, it’s gonna be super easy to be *basic* this fall.
While the drop date of the iconic Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks remains under wraps, you can drop your beach bags, get your Uggs on, and head to your local grocery store to get some of the newest Starbucks Pumpkin Spiced Latte offerings early. It’s PSL season somewhere, right?
