The month of August marks the end of summer, and as sad as that is, it also can only mean one thing: Fall is back, baby! If you are anything like me, you’re also counting down the days until the weather gets cooler, and you can get all those cute fall clothes back out from their summer hideaway. I love summer as much as the next person, and I don’t feel quite ready to say goodbye to Brat summer, or go back to the grind of college classes and essays. But the fall is where I truly thrive. As a tried and true “thought daughter” and the queen of romanticizing, my FYP is already being flooded with content about Gilmore Girls, Mary Janes, autumnal themed baking, and of course the ultimate symbol of fall: the pumpkin spice latte.Â
One of the many reasons I look forward to fall is getting to have that first sip of a pumpkin spice latte. Call me basic, but they are just so delicious. Sorry not sorry.
When you think of a PSL, I’m sure Starbucks easily comes to mind. The giant coffee chain has people like me patiently waiting for the return of their iconic autumnal bevvy, and always coming back every year for more. But what can Starbucks lovers expect for Starbucks’s Pumpkin Spice Latte 2024 release date?
The good news is, fans do not have to wait long at all. On Aug. 21, the coffee giant revealed the PSL will hit stores on Thursday, Aug. 22. This is actually the earliest release date of the PSL in Starbucks history, if only by just a few days. In 2023, fans saw the fall menu launch on August 24; in 2022, it was August 30.Â
The PSL isn’t the only fall item coming to Starbucks this August. Starbucks also announced its full fall lineup — including more fall drinks, bakery items, drinkware, and grocery store items — will be available Aug. 22 as well. Cue the fall leaf confetti!
