Starbucks now has another fall-inspired drink

Great news for coffee enthusiasts who love Starbucks’ fall-inspired menu — the coffee chain has added another seasonal drink to the current menu. Available for a limited time, you can now find the Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte at Starbucks stores across the U.S. Made with blonde espresso roast, this delicious latte features peace, rich brown-buttery notes and holiday baking spices that will give you all the “fall feels.” Complete with oat milk and a crunch pecan-flavored sugar, this drink is an indulgent treat that screams “fall.”

The Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte can also be made with traditional Signature Espresso Roast instead. As with all of Starbucks’ blended espresso beverages, milk substitutes can be made instead of oat milk. For those who prefer a cold coffee beverage instead, Starbucks also has created an iced version of the Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte, which is equally as indulgent.

Bringing together baking spices, and rich brown buttery notes, the Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte has a unique flavor that is inspired by homemade pecan pie. Patrick Penny, Starbucks’s lead beverage developer, developed this drink after dozens of tests. The hot version is topped with a creamy cap of Oatmilk, whereas the iced drink is topped with nondairy vanilla sweet cream cold foam. During testing for this new drink, Patrick noted that his drink reminded him of “a walk in the park on a crisp day with autumn leaves.”  Starbucks’ announcement for the Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte did not specify an end-date, so be sure to try this limited-time autumn flavor while you can.

What’s most surprising about Starbucks’ new secret Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte
How (and why you should) order this variation
Starbucks Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte

If you follow Starbucks on social media, you might've caught the brand's post yesterday about how to order a new (secret) variation of the traditional Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte. I'll admit, I've never tried lavender coffee, nor did I have a deep urge to do so until I saw the Instagram post. I'm unsure if the bright purple for springtime or the curiosity around lavender coffee intrigued me to order this. Regardless, I'm glad I tried this drink because it doesn't taste anything like I thought it would. From the looks of this drink, I expected it to be super sweet and overpowering. Yet, after one sip, it's safe to say I'm hooked on the taste of lavender in coffee. The drink is light, smooth, and sweet enough without tasting like a whole dessert.

The Instagram post starts by ordering a Grande Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte. When ordered right off the menu, this drink is crafted with Starbucks blonde espresso roast, creamy oatmilk, ice, and infused with sweet and subtle floral notes of lavender. Despite heading to Starbucks several times over the last month, I'm ashamed to admit I've never tried this springtime favorite beverage.

Starbucks is all about cherry cream cold foam on its new “not-so-secret” menu
Will you try the new cherry cold foam coffee trend?
Starbucks Iced Mocha with Cherry Cream Cold Foam

At first, cherry cream cold foam with coffee sounds like an interesting flavor combination. Yet, Starbucks believes cherry is trending in 2025 and says you should try it too. On Instagram, Starbucks released a new way for customers to order a Starbucks Iced Mocha with Cherry Cold Foam. You won't find this specialty coffee advertised on Starbucks menus or signs, as it's part of what Starbucks calls its "not-so-secret" menu.

To order a Starbucks Iced Mocha with Cherry Cold Foam, you'll start by ordering an Iced Caffè Mocha without whipped cream. Instead, swap the whipped cream for Cherry Cold Foam with a Cherry Crunch Sweet Topping. The result: A dreamy Iced Mocha with Cherry Cold Foam and Cherry Crunch Topping features Starbucks' full-bodied espresso combined with decadent mocha sauce, milk, and ice, topped with cherry cream cold foam and cherry crunch topping.
If the Iced Mocha with Cherry Cream Cold Foam doesn't sound appealing (or if crunch on your coffee doesn't sound up your alley), Starbucks also suggests a few other ways coffee drinkers can give the "cherry coffee" trend a chance. Some other ways to order cherry cold foam in your Starbucks drink order include:
