Though no date is officially set for the premiere of the Starbucks fall menu, with the coffee chain's website still promoting summer-themed drinks, a look at years' past helps provide a hint at when we could see the menus switch over.

According to Time Out, Starbucks' menu has typically shifted over in late August, with menus released on a Thursday every year since 2018 with the exception of 2023, when it was released on a Tuesday.

One food blogger, Markie Devo, suggested the menu would launch on Thursday, Aug. 22 in an Instagram post.

In addition to the beloved PSL, items such as the Apple Crisp Macchiato and Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew are likely poised to make a return, among other items.

The Seattle-based coffee chain’s latest beverages contain up to 205 milligrams of caffeine, equivalent to about six cans of Coke.
