On Thursday, August 22, Starbucks released its fall menu with all its fall drinks and treats. Starbucks keeps its fall menu until around the start of November when they bring out their holiday drinks. 

The fall menu consists of a pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin cream cold brew, iced pumpkin cream chai, new iced apple crisp nondairy cream chai, apple crisp oat milk macchiato, and iced apple crisp oat milk shaken espresso. The fall menu also consists of pumpkin cheese muffins, raccoon cake pop, and baked apple croissants.       

According to a poll taken with students at Apex High, 41.7% of students’ favorite fall drink is a Pumpkin Spice Latte, 37.5% of students’ least favorite fall drink is a Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, and 65.2% of students are most likely to eat a Raccoon Cake Pop.
