Pumpkin Spice Latte
The Pumpkin Spice Latte is one of Starbucks’ original fall drinks. I know a lot of people hate the drink, but you can never go wrong with the original. If you want the taste of fall in a drink, this is the drink. I suggest adding pumpkin cold foam on the top to get that extra flavor.

Apple Crisp Oat Milk Macchiato
I tried this drink last year and it wasn’t one of my favorites, but something was different about it this year. The drink wasn’t too fruity and had more of an oat milk and cinnamon taste, which I prefer. It was like drinking a scrumptious pastry. For someone who isn’t a big fan of apple drinks, this drink did exceed my expectations.

Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew
This was another one of the drinks I have tried before and thought was decent, but after a second try I really enjoyed the taste of this drink. This drink tastes like coffee, not too sweet, but not too bitter. You can taste a hint of strong pumpkin. I recommend not mixing the cold foam at the top because it’s better to enjoy this drink the way it comes.

Apple Crisp Oat Milk Shaken Espresso
This drink tasted almost exactly like the Apple Crisp Oat Milk Macchiato, but less sweet. It had more of the espresso taste, which I personally am not a fan of, but other people may enjoy. This drink tasted like an apple scented candle, but not in a good way. I could also still taste a hint of an apple pie flavor, but again I’m not a fan of apple when it comes to coffee.

Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte
As a chai lover, I was super excited to try this drink and it exceeded my expectations. It was a little on the sweeter side so, if that’s not what you like, you could order two pumps of chai instead of four. I think this was definitely my favorite out of all the drinks I tried. It had the perfect flavor combinations, with the perfect amount of pumpkin and chai flavoring, and it was just the right amount of sweetness for me.
