Starbucks rumored fall menu 2026 has apple fans nervous
The fall menu launch is rumored to be late-August.
A leaked Starbucks fall menu points to a late-August 2026 return for the Pumpkin Spice Latte. After Starbucks dropped its apple drinks at launch last year and set off a fan revolt, apple lovers are watching closely.
Pumpkin spice season is almost here, and the leaks have started early.
A rumored Starbucks fall menu is circulating, pointing to a late-August return for the Pumpkin Spice Latte and the rest of the autumn lineup. As always, this comes from food leakers ahead of any official word from Starbucks, so treat the details as rumor until the company confirms them.
Here’s what the leaks say, and why apple drink fans in particular are holding their breath.
When is the Starbucks fall menu coming in 2026
Short answer: probably late August. Exact date, nobody’s sure yet, but the dates run from August 22 to August 30.
Traditionally, the fall menu usually arrives at the end of August, with Reward Members getting early access.
What drinks are on the rumored Starbucks fall 2026 menu
It depends on which site you visit. I have seen two different listings.
Markie Devo posted this “leak”
Popular Pumpkin-flavored classics are back, along with rumored banana bread-flavored beverages.
Pumpkin, pecan, and banana bread feature heavily in this version.
But Starbucksmenu.us has its own leaked drink menu, and it features the Iced Apple Crisp, an Apple Crisp Shaken Espresso, and an Apple Crisp Macchiato Oatmilk drink
Two very different predictions.
On the food side, the leaks point to the usual pumpkin scones and Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin.
The seasonal cake pop is up for debate with both an owl and hedgehog mentioned. (Again, this is all rumor.)
Why Starbucks apple drink fans are worried this year
As in 2025, no apple crisp flavor is on the menu.
Last year it led to such a fuss online that Starbucks did bring the Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Expresso back in mid-October.
New rumored leaks have the drink listed in some reports but not in others.
The flavors the rumors do agree on are the traditional pumpkin and pecan. I love the Iced Pecan Crunch Latte, and it’s on both menus, so I’m hoping I get that at least.
We won’t know what’s coming for sure, or exactly when, until Starbucks confirms it.
