It’s The Season For Pumpkin Spice And Many Other Good Things At Starbucks

This season, Starbucks is introducing an exciting new beverage platform—Iced Shaken Espresso (ISE), hand-shaken drinks with plant-based milk and have more espresso than a traditional latte. Iced Shaken Espresso (ISE) is perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up or for when you are studying.

With autumn comes the return of Pumpkin Spice Latte, which has espresso and milk with Pumpkin Spice sauce, then finished with whipped cream and Pumpkin Spice topping. If you want something with a kick, Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew has Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam made with Vanilla Sweet Cream and Pumpkin Spice sauce, layered atop Starbucks Cold Brew sweetened with Vanilla syrup and finished with a dusting of Pumpkin Spice topping.

A new flavor is the Brown Sugar Soymilk Iced Shaken Espresso, hand-shaken espresso with rich layers of plant-based milk and brown sugar syrup. If you want something more indulgent, try the Brown Sugar Cocoa Oatmilk Frappuccino blended beverage, a delicious combination of brown sugar, creamy plant-based milk, and espresso.

Afternoon coffee is best enjoyed with some food. A returning favorite is Tuna Melt, toasted bread filled with creamy cheesy tuna filling. This sandwich is best paired with Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew.

Best paired with Caffé Latté is the Apple Pumpkin Naked Cake, moist and dense apple pumpkin cake then frosted with cream cheese frosting.

The Mango Coconut Mousse Cake, best enjoyed with Caffé Americano, is the perfect combination of delicious, sweet mango mousse and creamy, velvety coconut mousse.

The Ham and Cheese Crepe is a light and paper-thin crepe filled with sliced ham and smooth and creamy cheese béchamel that’s best paired with Iced Shaken Hibiscus Tea.

Flat White goes well with Green Monster Doughnut, a light and fluffy doughnut frosted with white chocolate matcha.

The Cappuccino is the perfect drink for the Midnight Extreme Cake, a combination of soft and moist chocolate, red velvet and vanilla sponge cake, with crunchy chocolate filling in between, then frosted with chocolate ganache.

Also launching this season is the Siren’s Coral Treasure Anniversary Collection, a mesmerizing series that captures the sparkling cerulean waves blended with the coral pink sands of the shore. This lineup features items and serveware that are glazed over with an aquatic sheen matched with jewel-themed patterns applied to the cold cups and tumblers.

In harmony with the Siren collection, this year’s Anniversary Blend merchandise features serveware with the classic yet elegant pattern of the Siren.

The Pawfriends Collection is a Philippine exclusive that fur parents will surely love! This features fun prints and designs that will remind you of how exciting it is to play with your fur babies.

Coffee is, of course, at the heart of Starbucks’ business.

First developed in 1996 to commemorate Starbucks’ 25th anniversary, Anniversary Blend returns every year as beloved as ever by partners and customers. Full-bodied, robust and undeniably bold, this coffee is a testament to the past and a celebration of the future. Big in flavor and inviting spices thanks to aged Sumatra, this annual favorite is a tribute to Starbucks’ heritage and toast to the future. Sourced exclusively from Indonesia, the coffee- growing region that’s inspired us from the beginning- this blend features Sumatra, West Java, and Sulawesi. Anniversary Blend has notes of smoked cedar, allspice, fresh herbs, and black truffle.

Starbucks Reserve Rwanda Abakundawa has sweet and tangy notes of tamarind, baking chocolate and toasted malt with a smooth spicy finish while Starbucks Reserve Bolivia de la Mañana has subtle lemon aromas with notes of papaya, rose hips and sweet milk chocolate. Starbucks Reserve Sumatra Lake Toba has notes of marzipan and carob molasses with hints of clove and a sweet raisin finish.
