While it may not be time for extra large scarves and boots yet, it is time for one fall tradition: pumpkin spice. And in Seattle, while it is still August, there are spots already offering this seasonal classic.

First, no, Starbucks is not one of them (yet). Although, historically, the PSL is introduced in August. So it should be launching any day now. For now though, there is one Starbucks experience to know about.

Starbucks

Starting on August 22nd, you can check out ‘The Ultimate Pumpkin Spice Experience’ in Seattle. “The Ultimate Pumpkin Spice Experience invites customers to embark on a tasting journey through the history of the iconic Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL),” states the description.

“Guided by an expert barista, participants will savor three exclusive mini-Starbucks Reserve® Pumpkin Spice beverages – the Pumpkin Spice Latte, Pumpkin Spice Whiskey Barrel-Aged Cold Brew, and Pumpkin Spice Affogato.”

The experience takes place at the Starbucks Reserve Seattle Roastery (1124 Pike Street), with multiple times to choose from. Could August 22nd be the date of the PSL launch in the US?

Krispy Kreme

“Cinnamon, spice and all the pumpkin is NICE!” at Krispy Kreme, which released its fall flavours mid-August. There, you can find the Pumpkin Spice Cake Doughnut, along with the Pumpkin Spice Latte, and Pumpkin Spice Coffee!

McDonald’s

McDonald’s Pumpkin and Creme Pie has appeared at select locations, after also showing up on the menu back in 2023.

While that’s it for now, we will continue to update you on all things pumpkin spice (and everything nice!).
