Life is gourd.
Starbucks’ fall menu has allegedly leaked, and it looks as if there might be some fun, latest foods and drinks additions to make the upcoming pumpkin spice season much more delicious than usual.
This week, food blogger @markie_devo took to Instagram to post the supposed scoop, which he claimed was from a Starbucks worker.
On the alleged menu, there have been, in fact, the fan-favorite classics like Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, in addition to the Pumpkin Spice Latte and Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato.
But it surely looks as if the coffee chain could have whipped up another options as well, reportedly adding an Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte and an Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso to the menu this fall, per the Instagram post. (Try saying either considered one of those five times fast.)
When it comes to food, it seems that they might be bringing back the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin, in addition to the Owl Cake Pop, and are adding a Baked Apple Croissant — but only to stores which might be in a position to warm them up.

A representative for Starbucks declined to comment to The Post regarding the purported scoop, only saying, “We’re still having fun with Starbucks’ latest summer sip, the Frozen Lemonade Starbucks Refreshers, and aren’t quite able to welcome fall yet!”
It’s unclear if this might be the coffee chain’s entire fall menu.
In his post, the food blogger also noted that the menu is “rumored” to be released on Aug. 29 and would run until Nov.1 in any respect participating locations nationwide.
Nevertheless, there appeared to be one annual fall Starbucks item that fans noticed was missing from the menu — and that’s the pumpkin scone.
In past years, the sweet fall treat has been a “spiced pumpkin scone” topped with sweet icing and an orange drizzle.
“Omg where is the pumpkin scone?” one person wrote within the comments of @markie_devo’s Instagram post. “I repeat…my favorite scone EVER!”

One other agreed, writing, “Wait my pumpkin scone higher be here!”
“No scone 🙁,” one user commented.
Others were excited by the alleged latest fall options.
“The apple crisp macchiato is incredible I can’t wait to have it again,” one Starbucks enthusiast wrote.
“Can’t wait to try the Pumpkin Cream Chai Latte!” one other exclaimed. “It sounds sooo good! ❤️.”

And, if you happen to like slightly pumpkin spice in your coffee in the course of the fall, you’re not the just one who’s keen on the flavour.
Over the past few years, many brands put their very own pumpkin spice twist on seemingly regular food items, including a pumpkin spice macaroni and cheese from Kraft in 2020, pumpkin spice-flavored Spam the 12 months before that, and pumpkin spice-flavored Oreos in 2022.
But in response to psychologists, there may very well be a specific reason why we love the autumn flavor a lot.
It seems that the flavour reminds some people of family, home and the nostalgia that the autumn season brings.
As Matt Johnson, a Boston-based psychologist, told Fox News Digital last 12 months, “The flavour is just so closely tied to the arrival of fall and the nostalgic, healthful vibes of each family and the leaves changing.”
