Starbucks - Pumpkin Spice Latte is back!
 
Just an FYI :-)

The syrup this year is better than last year. Yaaaaaaaay!

That is all.

Nooooooo!!!!

I don't generally like coffee but this is the only concoction I am tempted by. Yum oh yum.

Why does this always happen just as I am ready to get serious about my diet?!

Thanks (I think) for the heads-up.

I got a sample yesterday at the in-store Starbacks at a Tempe, AZ Safeway. I do concur it is definetly tastier than last year.

P.S. It was sure fun having a "fall drink" while it was 105 F outside ;)

Pumpkin *spice* latte. A slight variation on the cinnamon/nutmeg/cardamon spice coffee that is (at least in my mind) typically South Asian.

But wherever it came from, my waistline cringes, well aware of my own lack of self control...

Cinnamon and coffee I get.... but pumpkin...?????????????

Trust me, it's no ristretto, but it's good. It's the only flavored coffee I would drink.

Thanks to the OP for the alert. :)

Can the syrups be bought to take home? I doubt Australia will get this one but I love pumpkin spice.

Try one with the holiday gingerbread--so much tastier than many of the "usuals".

Methinks you're getting hung up on the label ;)

Pumpkin spice = cinnamon + nutmeg + ginger + allspice.

Has a pumpkin-pie-like flavor.

They're not grinding up real pumpkins and dropping it into the latte, just adding some allspice and ginger.

Anyway, gotta go by Starbucks tomorrow...

Woohoo! ^ ^

Now all I need is for the Honey Krisp apples to come out and I'll be in heaven! :D

Personally... I can't wait for a nice egg-nog steamer :p :cool:

BamaVol Jr#2 mentioned this the other day. He works at SBux. I've never tried it, but it has many fans. He said they started getting inquiries a few weeks before it arrived. I'll try one but it's still hot here and DD iced coffee is still my preference until the temps drop into the 60's.
