Life is gourd.
Starbucks’ fall menu has allegedly leaked, and it looks as if there may very well be some fun, new food and drink additions to make the upcoming pumpkin spice season much more delicious than usual.
This week, food blogger @markie_devo took to Instagram to post the supposed scoop, which he claimed was from a Starbucks worker.
On the alleged menu, there have been, after all, the fan-favorite classics like Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, in addition to the Pumpkin Spice Latte and Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato.
Nevertheless it looks as if the coffee chain could have whipped up another options as well, reportedly adding an Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte and an Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso to the menu this fall, per the Instagram post. (Try saying either one in all those five times fast.)
By way of food, it seems that they might be bringing back the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin, in addition to the Owl Cake Pop, and are adding a Baked Apple Croissant — but only to stores which can be in a position to warm them up.

A representative for Starbucks declined to comment to The Post regarding the purported scoop, only saying, “We’re still having fun with Starbucks’ latest summer sip, the Frozen Lemonade Starbucks Refreshers, and aren’t quite able to welcome fall yet!”
It’s unclear if this might be the coffee chain’s entire fall menu.
In his post, the food blogger also noted that the menu is “rumored” to be released on Aug. 29 and would run until Nov.1 in any respect participating locations nationwide.
Nonetheless, there gave the impression to be one annual fall Starbucks item that fans noticed was missing from the menu — and that’s the pumpkin scone.
In past years, the sweet fall treat has been a “spiced pumpkin scone” topped with sweet icing and an orange drizzle.
“Omg where is the pumpkin scone?” one person wrote in the comments of @markie_devo’s Instagram post. “I repeat…my favorite scone EVER!”
![Some were upset by the seeming lack of a pumpkin scone on the menu.](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/NYPICHPDPICT000014726019.jpg?w=680)

One other agreed, writing, “Wait my pumpkin scone higher be here!”
“No scone 🙁,” one user commented.
Others were excited by the alleged new fall options.
“The apple crisp macchiato is incredible I can’t wait to have it again,” one Starbucks enthusiast wrote.
“Can’t wait to try the Pumpkin Cream Chai Latte!” one other exclaimed. “It sounds sooo good! ❤️.”

And, when you like a bit of pumpkin spice in your coffee during the fall, you’re not the just one who’s keen on the flavor.
Over the past few years, many brands put their very own pumpkin spice twist on seemingly regular food items, including a pumpkin spice macaroni and cheese from Kraft in 2020, pumpkin spice-flavored Spam the yr before that, and pumpkin spice-flavored Oreos in 2022.
But in response to psychologists, there may very well be a selected reason why we love the fall flavor a lot.
It seems that the flavor reminds some people of family, home and the nostalgia that the fall season brings.
As Matt Johnson, a Boston-based psychologist, told Fox News Digital last yr, “The flavour is just so closely tied to the arrival of fall and the nostalgic, healthful vibes of each family and the leaves changing.”
