Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte is Back for Its 20th Year

The return of Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) marks the unofficial start of fall for many customers. Since its introduction in 2003 and over the last 20 years, the iconic beverage has had an influence on the coffee industry, pop culture, and everything in between.

Starting NOW, the Starbucks fall menu will return, and customers can celebrate the 20th anniversary with their first sip of PSL. The fall menu also features two new seasonal beverages, Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso and Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte, as well as the new Baked Apple Croissant. Returning customer favorites include Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato, Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin, and Owl Cake Pop. The fall food and beverages are available for a limited time, while supplies last.

Muppets

The Pumpkin Spice Latte is Starbucks most popular seasonal beverage and is enjoyed by customers around the world. The handcrafted beverage combines Starbucks Signature Espresso and steamed milk with the celebrated flavor combination of real pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. Topped with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spices, the PSL is available hot, iced or blended.

Muppets

New this year is the Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte, a beverage that was inspired by a popular customer and barista customization. This creamy chai tea latte pairs a rich blend of spiced chai notes with pumpkin cream cold foam and a dusting of pumpkin spice.

“We’re excited to celebrate the creativity of our baristas and customers by offering the Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte on the official fall menu. The warm spice flavors of chai and pumpkin seamlessly blend together, creating a creamy and comforting iced beverage,” said Starbucks beverage developer Billy Altieri.

Muppets

The fan-favorite Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew also returns to the menu for a fifth year, crafted with Starbucks® Cold Brew sweetened with vanilla syrup, topped with pumpkin cream cold foam and a dusting of pumpkin spice.

Muppets

Joining the fall lineup this year is the new Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, which combines Starbucks® Blonde Espresso with notes of apple, cinnamon and brown sugar, shaken together and topped with oatmilk for a smooth and balanced sip that is full of fall flavor.

“The warm, gooey taste of apple crisp paired with a cup of coffee meld perfectly to unveil a cozy beverage customers have come to know and love at Starbucks each fall. The new Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso features creamy oat milk that perfectly complements the light roast flavors of Starbucks® Blonde Espresso,” said Starbucks beverage developer Billy Altieri.

Customers can also enjoy the returning Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato, featuring layered flavors of apple, cinnamon, and brown sugar combined with a spiced apple drizzle to create a delicious, fall-flavored espresso beverage available hot, iced and blended.

Muppets

The new Baked Apple Croissant is made with layers of croissant dough wrapped around a warm apple filling, topped with sugar and baked to a golden finish.

Returning seasonal bakery items include the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin and the Owl Cake Pop, as well as the popular Pumpkin & Pepita Loaf, which is available year-round.

Muppets

For the first time, Starbucks Reserve locations in the U.S. will introduce the Starbucks Reserve® Pumpkin Spice Latte, and a full fall menu, including the new Pumpkin Spice Whiskey Barrel-Aged Iced Latte and Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini. New artisanal Princi bakery items include a Pumpkin Maritozzo and Pumpkin Spice Cake.

Muppets

Guatemala Casi Cielo® has been enjoyed nearly as long as the PSL, returning every year since 2004. Guatemala Casi Cielo® represents the finest expression from one of Starbucks most beloved coffee origins, sourced exclusively from Guatemala’s high-altitude, volcanic Antigua region. Harvested just once a year from coffee cherries picked at peak ripeness, this single-origin coffee – with elegant floral aromatics and notes of citrus and dark cocoa – is bright, smooth, irresistibly balanced, and not to be missed.

Muppets

Available at select Starbucks stores and all Starbucks Reserve locations are two whole bean coffees that are hand-selected seasonally from family farms and estates and roasted at Starbucks Reserve Roasteries.

Starbucks Reserve® Vietnam Da Lat features notes of cocoa peel and toffee nut, anchored by the city of Da Lat (nicknamed “The City of Eternal Spring”) in Vietnam’s Lam Dong Province.

Starbucks Reserve® Malawi Sable Farms features notes of dark chocolate and ginger spice, produced by Malawi Sable Farms in Southern Malawi.

Muppets

Customers can also fall in love with a variety of seasonally-inspired drinkware – from tumblers to cold cups, mugs and more. New fall merchandise is beginning to roll out at participating Starbucks stores in the U.S. on Thursday, August 24 for a limited time, while supplies last. Don’t forget, Starbucks® Rewards members who bring a clean, personal reusable cup into participating cafés will earn 25 Stars in addition to 10 cents off their beverage.

Muppets

The flavors of fall are also available down the grocery aisle, including the returning Starbucks® Iced Espresso Pumpkin Spice Latte, Starbucks® Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino Chilled Coffee Drink and more.

Tiana’s Palace Restaurant Opens September 7

Palace

Disney is pleased to announce that the official opening date of Tiana’s Palace restaurant in Disneyland Park is September 7, 2023! This reimagined quick-service style restaurant is inspired by the one Princess Tiana created in the beloved Walt Disney Animation Studios film, “The Princess and the Frog.”

The Tiana’s Palace restaurant opening will mark the next step in bringing more of Princess Tiana’s stories to life in New Orleans Square, which began with Eudora’s Chic Boutique featuring Tiana’s Gourmet Secrets last year and will continue with the opening of the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure attraction in 2024.

There will be so many elegant yet subtle details throughout the restaurant that offer fun hints at Tiana’s rich past in New Orleans. Below the lit marquee that reads “Tiana’s Palace” hanging above a metallic gold balcony, is an emerald green wrought iron railing and awnings dyed in yellow and green, reminiscent of Tiana’s beautiful formal ball gown. Guests will be surrounded by the colors of Mardi Gras as they sit on yellow tabletops, on warm vanilla-colored chairs with green seats, in the shade of yellow and green umbrellas.

Muppets

Disney Imagineers also took inspiration from the film for the interior of the restaurant, which includes a large mural of the bayou. Guests will also see other references to Tiana’s story – lilies represented on numerous signs, plaques, and light fixtures, frog porcelains, cookbooks Tiana has collected on little shelves, and her father’s favorite gumbo spoon proudly on display. Guests will also want to keep an eye out for the letters from her father and neighbors on display, alongside a childhood photo of Tiana.

Did you know? The design of Tiana’s Palace from the Disney Animation film “The Princess and the Frog” was actually inspired by the French Market Restaurant – the former restaurant in this space – in New Orleans Square at Disneyland Park. In the film, Disney Animation artists added a wheelhouse and two smokestacks to give Tiana’s restaurant an iconic silhouette, so when the time came to bring Tiana’s Palace to life at Disneyland, Disney Imagineers made those same additions to create the real Tiana’s Palace, making this a full circle moment!

This will be an exciting transformation and mark the return of the Mint Julep Bar! At Tiana’s Palace, Guests can enjoy new menu items that represent Tiana’s story and honor the flavors and flair of New Orleans, with an effort to source some ingredients directly from the state of Louisiana when possible. Plus, you can now be able to mobile order these new dishes on the Disneyland app when the location opens. Stay tuned for a first look at the full menu, coming soon!

Renowned “Percy Jackson” creator Rick Riordan worked closely with the creative team and showrunners Jon Steinberg and Dan Shotz to bring his books to life and deliver a series that stays true to his vision for these heroic characters that millions of book fans know and love. The first two episodes are written by Riordan and Steinberg and directed by James Bobin.  Steinberg and Shotz serve as executive producers alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J. Goldberg, James Bobin, Jim Rowe, Monica Owusu-Breen, Anders Engström and Jet Wilkinson.

“Percy Jackson and the Olympians” series brand extensions will include a cross-category product line of apparel, accessories, stationery, and tie-in books available this fall at Hot Topic, Box Lunch, Barnes & Noble, and other retailers.

The Percy Jackson book series has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide.

The news of a digital release also sparks questions among fans on when a physical release, if any, will be announced. This includes the fan fervor around the possibility of a new Complete Adventures of Indiana Jones box set, which will include remastered and 4K releases of all 5 Indiana Jones films in a single, limited series collection.

This also does not include an almost certain reveal of Dial of Destiny’s Disney+ debut. We can hope this digital announcement is just the first news to come for Indiana Jones and the future of its home release, especially as fans around the world have come together! In the meantime, fans can still catch Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny nationwide in select theaters for a limited time. Make sure to support your favorite writers and creators by supporting the art they create!
