Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte Returns Earlier Than Ever Before — See the Fall Menu Including a New Iced Apple Chai

Fall at Starbucks is finally here!

The coffee chain has announced that its Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) is returning to all locations on August 22nd, marking the earliest start to the season at Starbucks than ever before. Along with the PSL, Starbucks is bringing back seasonal favorites and introducing exciting new drinks.

Iced Apple Crisp Nomdairy Cream Chai is the newest addition to the fall lineup. The iced chai is topped with cold non-dairy foam (made from oat and soy milk) flavored with apple brown sugar syrup. The drink was created as a popular customization that customers ordered in previous years, according to a press release, and is supposed to “reminiscent of homemade apple pie.” Best of all, the crisp cold apple foam can be added to any iced drink.

Starbucks’ new Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai will be available on August 22.

PEOPLE got their first taste of Starbucks’ fall menu, and the Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai did not disappoint. Every sip is luxurious, full of cinnamon and sugar flavors and creamy, despite being dairy-free.

The other drink options in the store are all throwbacks, but that doesn’t make them any less exciting.

Celebrating its 21st year, the Pumpkin Spice Latte is just as fans remember it: loaded with real pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, and whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice topping. The drink is available warm, iced or mixed.

Two throwback drinks on the menu are topped with cold pumpkin cream foam, which can be added to cold drinks as a customization: the Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte and the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew.

The Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte was first introduced last year and combines chai with cold pumpkin foam and pumpkin spice. Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew contains cold brew sweetened with vanilla syrup, pumpkin cold foam and pumpkin spice.

The Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato and Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso are also returning. Both autumn options combine the flavors of apple, cinnamon and brown sugar, espresso and oat milk.

There are also two fall drinks available exclusively on the Starbucks app: Iced Caramel Apple Cream Latte and Iced Honey Apple Almondmilk Flat White.

Topped with a cool salted caramel creme foam, it’s the first iced espresso drink made with milk, notes of apple, cinnamon and brown sugar. The latter is also an icy, cold drink topped with foam, but made with blue espresso, almond milk and honey, and a non-dairy crisp apple cold topping.

Starbucks’ new fall bakery is the Raccoon Cake Pop, which features a vanilla cake topped with a layer of chocolate buttercream that’s decorated with adorable ears, eyes, and a nose.

PEOPLE got a sneak peek of the treat. The animal-shaped dessert is not too sweet, but still completely satisfying. The cake is moist inside and the chocolate frosting is done too sweet to eat. Anti-pumpkin shoppers will be able to satisfy their cravings for comforting seasonal food with this three-bite treat without the spicy flavors.

Fall favorites like Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins and Pumpkin Loaf also return on Thursday, as does the Baked Apple Croissant.
