The first sip of a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte or Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew cues the unofficial start of the fall season for many customers, and Starbucks is celebrating its return alongside a full menu of fall favourites. 

Starting Tuesday, August 30, the iconic <a href="https://www.starbucks.ca/menu/product/418/hot?parent=%2Fdrinks%2Fhot-coffees%2Flattes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte</a> (PSL), is back for its 19th year. The handcrafted beverage combines Starbucks® Signature Espresso and steamed milk with flavours of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove to complement the real pumpkin in the sauce. Topped with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spices, the beverage is available hot, iced or blended at stores in Canada throughout the season while supplies last.

Also available for a limited time is the <a href="https://www.starbucks.ca/menu/product/2123113/iced?parent=%2Fdrinks%2Fcold-coffees%2Fcold-brews" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew</a>, which returns to the menu for a fourth year. Crafted with Starbucks® Cold Brew sweetened with vanilla syrup, the fan-favourite fall sip is topped with pumpkin cream cold foam and a dusting of pumpkin spice.

First introduced to the fall menu last year, the Apple Crisp Macchiato returns with a twist - now made with creamy oat beverage and Starbucks® Blonde Espresso as the standard recipe. Inspired by the flavours of the warm and gooey apple crisp paired with a cup of coffee, the <a href="https://www.starbucks.ca/menu/product/2123563/hot" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple Crisp Oat Macchiato </a>combines layered flavours of apple, cinnamon, and brown sugar with a spiced apple drizzle.

“Crafting the Apple Crisp Oat Macchiato with Starbucks® Blonde espresso gives the beverage a soft and smooth foundation that ties all the flavors together,” said Harvey Rojas Mora, Starbucks beverage developer. “The oat beverage adds a creaminess and brings forward the oat flavors of a traditional apple crisp topping.” 

The Apple Crisp Oat Macchiato is available hot, iced and blended at Starbucks stores in Canada throughout the season while supplies last.

There’s nothing like a fall beverage from Starbucks when you start to feel that little chill in the morning air. Ever <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2014/starbucks-first-pumpkin-spice-latte/">since Pumpkin Spice Latte</a> (PSL) first arrived in the autumn of 2003, Starbucks fall beverages have been the perfect companion for the arrival of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/LeafRakersSociety/">crunchy leaves and sweater weather</a>.

For nearly 20 years, Starbucks beverage teams have created new autumn flavours for customers to enjoy, whether it’s past favourites like the Maple Pecan Latte and Salted Caramel Mocha or the returning hit and companion to the Pumpkin Spice Latte, the <a href="https://www.starbucks.ca/menu/product/2123113/iced?parent=%2Fdrinks%2Fcold-coffees%2Fcold-brews">Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew</a>. This year, fall gets a new beverage with Apple Crisp Macchiato, available iced or hot at Starbucks stores in the U.S. and Canada starting Aug. 24 for a limited time, while supplies last.

“For many customers, Starbucks signals the start of the fall season and has inspired a cultural phenomenon around fall flavour and products,” said Raegan Powell, senior manager on the Starbucks research and development team. “Fall at Starbucks brings customers back to the nostalgic flavours of the season and our team used that inspiration to create a new flavour that celebrates those feelings of comfort and familiarity.”

Building on the popularity of pumpkin flavour, the team’s inspiration for an apple beverage started with the idea of the fall harvest. Pumpkins are popular, but it was clear that apples were another prominent flavour that the team wanted to explore as they started concepting a new fall flavour. In spring 2020, the team began testing and tasting a bushel of apple-flavoured favourites, including apple maple syrup, apple cider donuts, and a variety of apple pies, cakes, and crisps.

While fruit and coffee are a new territory for Starbucks, the flavours complement each other well, with the creaminess of the milk balancing the espresso for a nostalgic autumn pick-me-up.

“Creating an ingredient with a spicy baked apple flavour was crucial to be able to bridge an autumn red apple to espresso,” said Powell. “Consider how well a delicious slice of warm apple pie pairs with a cup of coffee or how well the combination of Starbucks roasty signature espresso pairs with warm spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg.”

When the team was testing, people loved the baked apple flavour. “The number-one thing we heard when developing the ingredients was customers wanted more apple,” Powell said. The Apple Crisp Macchiato pulls inspiration from a wide variety of red apple flavours available in the fall season, including apple puree in the caramelized apple drizzle. The Apple Crisp Macchiato even smells like fall, with an aroma like fresh-baked apple crisp.

For the final recipe, Powell and the team landed on a macchiato (which means “marked” in Italian), made with steamed milk marked with Starbucks signature espresso. As a finishing touch, the beverage is “marked” again with a cross-hatch of caramelized-spiced-apple drizzle, resembling the lattice on top of a pie. If the hot version is like warm apple pie, the iced version is like apple pie à la mode, with the warm flavours of apple and brown sugar combined with milk and ice, and also topped with apple caramel drizzle. For the name, the team chose “apple crisp” for the beverage’s more apple-forward taste, and its brown sugar and cinnamon topping.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“We are hopeful customers will enjoy their Apple Crisp Macchiato, hot or cold, and feel comfort as they take on all that fall has to offer, says Powell. “No matter our customers’ traditions – football games apple picking, or trick-or-treating – the Apple Crisp Macchiato is bound to bring comfort in a cup.”

8 New Ways to Customize Starbucks Beverages This Fall

The new non-dairy delight delivers all the comforts of the season in one hot mug!&nbsp;

When Starbucks product team set out to develop a brand-new fall beverage this year, they already had a delicious combination in mind. With the nationwide launch of Oat beverage set to launch right in time for the season, two things were certain: the new beverage would feature Starbucks signature espresso; and would elevate the mild, nutty flavour and velvety foam of Oat beverage.

After countless pairings of flavours and dozens of trials of espresso beverages, the team found their coziest combination reminiscent of signature fall activities like apple picking, cider making, and of course, apple pie. Thus, the Starbucks Apple Oat Flat White was born: a perfectly handcrafted combination of Starbucks signature espresso, velvety steamed Oat beverage, roasted apple syrup, finished with a clove sugar topping.&nbsp;

“We wanted to create a beverage that was coffee forward but made you feel like fall has arrived,” says Peter Furnish, vice president of product and marketing, Starbucks Canada. “Apple is an obvious fall flavour but cooked apple, combined with oat, adds a comforting dimension that really captures the season.”

This coffee-forward beverage not only offers Starbucks customers another way to enjoy fall in a cup, it provides a delicious dairy alternative for customers looking for more choice.

The Apple Oat Flat White is Starbucks Canada’s first seasonal drink featuring <a href="https://stories.starbucks.ca/en/stories/2020/starbucks-canada-expands-plant-based-options-with-launch-of-oat-beverage-this-fall/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Oat beverage</a>, which launched in stores nationally on August 25. Oat beverage, which has grown over 434% in Canada this year*, is the company’s latest plant-based offering and fourth dairy alternative to join Starbucks Canada’s menu, which includes soy beverage, almond beverage and coconut beverage. Starbucks Oat beverage is Non-GMO and made without artificial flavours or colours.

While delicious on its own, the subtly sweet flavour and nutty, roasty, oat notes of the Starbucks Apple Oat Flat White pairs perfectly with the slightly savory and rich and creamy Starbucks Cheese Danish, for the ultimate flavour pairing.

Canadians can soon add a new delicious, non-dairy option to their favourite Starbucks® beverage. Today, the company announced Oat beverage as its latest plant-based offering, which will launch in all company-owned stores across Canada.

Starbucks Canada introduced its first non-dairy beverage option to its core menu back in 2004 with soy beverage.
