52 Pumpkin and Fall Drinks to Order at 12 Top Coffee Chains

52 Pumpkin and Fall Drinks to Order at 12 Top Coffee Chains
Love it or hate it, PSLs aren’t going anywhere. While pumpkin spice wasn’t even part of our vocabulary 25 years ago, today’s market is completely saturated with everything from Caribou Coffee’s Pumpkin White Mochas to Scooter’s Caramel Pumpkin Brûlée lattes. Now that October is here with the first day of fall firmly behind us, the pumpkin-spice floodgates have officially opened. That surge of cinnamon-scented lattes can be overwhelming — so to help you narrow down your choices, Food & Wine put together a comprehensive list of fall offerings across 12 top coffee chains nationwide.
There’s no shame in treating this lineup as a bucket list; with more than 50 autumnal drinks to explore, you’ll probably need the whole season. Hope you’re thirsty.
Caribou Coffee
Food & Wine / Caribou Coffee
We’re kicking off with a heavy hitter in the seasonal drink department — Caribou Coffee. This regional chain, headquartered in Minnesota, offers nearly 10 seasonal drinks for you to choose from. Their menu notably blends pumpkin syrup with white mocha (a customization option available at other chains as well), while Honeycrisp Apple Syrup offers a lighter spin on those autumnal flavors.
- Iced White Mocha with Pumpkin Cold Foam
- Pumpkin Espresso Shaker
- Pumpkin White Mocha
- Pumpkin Chai
- Pumpkin Crafted Press
- Honeycrisp Apple Caramel High Rise
- Honeycrisp Apple Caramel Espresso Shaker
- Honeycrisp Apple Energy
- Honeycrisp Apple Caramel Oatmilk Steamer
Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
Food & Wine / Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is kicking off PSL season with its signature layered lattes. Here’s how it’s made: Baristas whisk pumpkin syrup into oat milk, then add cold brew coffee and a layer of cinnamon. Other popular options include a Honey & Nut Latte, Extreme Pumpkin Blended Coffee, and a Vanilla Layered Latte. Yum.
- Pumpkin Layered Latte
- Matcha Layered Latte
- Vanilla Layered Latte
- Extreme Pumpkin Iced Blended
- Pumpkin Dry Iced Americano
- Iced Pumpkin Chai
- Honey & Nut Lattes
Dunkin’
Food & Wine / Dunkin
The Massachusetts-based chain is kicking off fall with a full menu at its roughly 14,000 locations nationwide. Expect perennial favorites — like the Pumpkin Swirl — plus new autumnal treatssuch as the cereal-soaked Cereal N’ Milk Latte. It launched on August 20, making it one of our first stops of the season.
- Cereal Milk Latte
- Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte
Dutch Bros
Dutch Bros is taking “little treat culture” to an entirely new level. From a Cookie Butter Latte to a Caramel Pumpkin Brûlée coffee, much of the 2025 menu draws inspiration from our favorite seasonal desserts. It launched on August 22 at Dutch Bros’ more than 1,000 locations — here’s how to track down a limited-edition Candied Cherry Rebel near you.
- Caramel Pumpkin Brûlée
- Cookie Butter Latte
- Candied Cherry Rebel
The dove
Fall flavors are officially on draft. This East Coast staple is kicking things off with a draft Pumpkin Spice Oatmilk Latte, along with traditional lattes made with the spiced syrup. Additionally, La Colombe confirms via Instagram comments that the fan-favorite Pumpkin Pie Chai Oat Draft Latte is returning to select U.S. locations.
- Pumpkin Matcha
- Pumpkin Vanilla Iced Latte
- Pumpkin Spice Oatmilk Latte
Luckin Coffee
Established coffee chains in the United States have met their competition. Food & Wine has been tracking Luckin Coffee’s growth since it landed in the United States in late June, highlighting the China-based brand’s curiosity-driven approach and its generous discount strategy. This week, the chain shifted its approach by launching a new pumpkin drink — made with its extra-creamy “velvety milk.” The brand tells us that it’s “subtly sweet” and is created with real pumpkin purée (just like Starbucks).
McDonald’s
Yes, you can satisfy your pumpkin pie cravings even at the McDonald’s drive-thru. The mega-chain’s Pumpkin Spice Latte (served hot and iced) — first introduced back in 2013 — is making its return for another season. We see it as a no-brainer accompaniment to their seasonal Pumpkin & Crème Pie.
- McCafé Pumpkin Spice latte
Peet’s Coffee
This one’s a departure from the traditional autumn menus, but it’s just as tasty. This California-based chain is introducing two fall beverages with popping pearls (Cardamon Citrus Cold Brew Oat Latte and Cardamom Citrus Mocha Frappé) alongside its standard pumpkin-flavored treats. Peet’s has fewer than 300 locations nationwide, so consider yourself lucky if you can get your hands on these.
- Cardamom Citrus Cold Brew Oat Latte
- Cardamom Citrus Mocha struck
- Pumpkin Latte
- Pumpkin Chai Latte
Scooter’s Coffee
Midwestern go-to Scooter’s Coffee isn’t afraid of a little seasonal sweetness. Pick from the Pumpkin Caramelicious — a syrupy latte with pumpkin and caramel — or perhaps the pillowy Pumpkin Crème Cold Brew. Alternatively, Scooter’s offers a Caramel Apple Red Bull Infusion as a “county fair fall upgrade.”
- Oatmeal Cream Pie Latte
- Pumpkin Spice Latte
- Pumpkin Caramelicious
- Pumpkin Chai
- Pumpkin Crème Cold Brew
- Caramel Apple Sparkling Float
- Caramel Apple Red Bull Infusion
Sonic Drive-In
Food & Wine / Sonic
Factor this into your morning run: Sonic Drive-In is deepening its investment in iced coffee, and that includes a seasonal Salted Caramel Toffee treat for this year. In its “Save a Pumpkin” ad campaignSonic’s marketing team is encouraging you to think beyond your usual PSL order. “Pumpkins deserve a better fate than becoming a seasonal treat — or something more extreme, like a body wash or deodorant,” the brand teases. We can’t argue with that.
- Salted Caramel Toffee Iced Coffee
Starbucks
Behold, the reigning seasonal champ and unofficial herald of fall, Starbucks’ original Pumpkin Spice Latte. The Seattle-based chain introduced the seasonal coffee back in 2013, kickstarting a cultural (and now, culinary) movement with social media-driven touchpoints. Starbucks reported a record launch of its fall menu this year, followed by the announcement of a second wave of Crisp Apple flavors in mid-October.
- Pecan Oatmilk cut
- Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte
- Pecan Cold Foam
- Pumpkin Spice Latte
- Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew
- Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai
- Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso (Oct. 14)
- Apple Crisp Cream Cold Foam and Protein Cold Foam (Oct. 14)
Tim Hortons
Food & Wine / Tim Hortons
This breakfast chain has a larger footprint in Canada, but that hasn’t stopped it from adopting a few uniquely American conventions. Exhibit A is the Pumpkin Spice Iced Cappa sweet-and-frosty blend of espresso and pumpkin sauce inspired by the seasonal flavor. However, we’d argue that Tim Hortons is your go-to for another fall-inspired flavor — sweet Caramel Apple.
- Pumpkin Spice Latte
- Pumpkin Spice Iced Capp
- Pumpkin Spice Muffin
- Cinnamon Caramel Apple Latte
- Cinnamon Caramel Apple Iced Coffee
- Berry Apple Crisp Refresher
