I can almost always find something new to try at Starbucks during the year, but it becomes even more exciting during the fall. 

I’ve loved ordering pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin bread in previous years. It is the perfect way to get into the Halloween spirit. The bakery also has a pumpkin cream cheese muffin and owl cake pops for a nice sweet treat. 

Starbucks added some new menu items this year that I am excited to try, including the iced pumpkin cream chai tea latte. It is a classic iced chai but with a pumpkin flavored cold foam topping, similar to whipped cream, and some pumpkin spice sprinkled on top. 

I’m not sure how I will feel about this one because I have thought for a while that Starbucks chai is too sweet and not spicy enough, but I’m willing to give it a try. 

There is also an iced apple crisp oat milk shaken espresso drink that has been added to the menu. The new shaken espresso will probably be my favorite because my usual order at Starbucks is the iced brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso, and the new drink seems like the same thing with more fun fall flavors incorporated. 

There is also a new bakery item, a baked apple croissant. I tried this yesterday and it might be my new favorite bakery menu item offered at Starbucks. It resembles an apple pie, and the croissant is the perfect mix of being buttery and flakey. It is sweetened with a yummy classic apple filling with hints of cinnamon.
