Pumpkin Spice Latte, Starbucks signature fall drink, is headed back to the coffeehouse chain on Tuesday, the company announced Monday.
In addition to the hot latte, Starbucks is also bringing back its pumpkin Cream Cold Brew.
The drink, affectionately known as PSL, is being brought back to stores earlier than in previous years. The pumpkin-flavored food field has become a crowded one. PSL will be competing with a growing number of pumpkin-flavored drinks and treats other restaurants have introduced to their menus since the success of Starbuck’s drink.
PSL was introduced in 2003 and the company has sold more than 500 million of the drinks since then.
A few companies that have already introduced pumpkin-flavored drinks and treats this year include:
- Dairy Queen has re-introduced the Pumpkin Pie Blizzard and Pumpkin Cookie Butter Shake. They are coming in September, the company said.
- Dunkin’ released its new Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew and a Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte last week, and also has pumpkin donuts and muffins on the menu.
- Cracker Barrel has a Pumpkin Pie Latte, which is available iced or hot until Nov. 29, the restaurant said in a release.
- Pepperidge Farm is bringing back its Pumpkin Spice Milano Cookies.
- Thomas’ Pumpkin Spice English Muffins, which is a limited-edition flavor, are set to come back to stores this fall.
- Pumpkin Spice Cheerios will be back in the cereal aisle soon.
- Philadelphia Cream Cheese will bring back its pumpkin spice creamy spread.
- Silk Pumpkin Spice Almond Creamer is coming to your grocery store dairy case.
