Starbucks announce Pumpkin Spice Lattes are returning next week

Starbucks has confirmed Pumpkin Spiced Lattes will be back from next week – so it’s officially the festive season. 

Fans of Starbucks will be pleased to hear the sweet coffee treat that comes out every year is officially back from next week.

The autumnal drink is described as a ‘scrumptious combination of Starbucks espresso roast, pumpkin pie flavoured sauce and steamed milk, topped with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spices’.

The drink will be available from September 25th. 

Starbucks has also confirmed a new rewards programme which means customers needs to save an average of five weeks to get their next drink free. 

You’ll get three ‘stars’ for each £1 spent in-store. Once you have 150 you can claim a free drink of your choice. 

Alex Rayner, general manager at Starbucks UK, said: “Starbucks Rewards has always been and will always be about appreciating our most loyal customers and the new Starbucks Rewards programme responds to the most frequent feedback we’ve received from members over the years – to earn Stars for what they spend rather than how often they visit.

“The new programme is part of a wider transformation we have underway to integrate the physical instore experience with digital innovation. With Starbucks Rewards being hosted via our App, members can earn Rewards while also customising their beverage exactly to their taste, ordering ahead to skip the queue and paying contactlessly.

“When the programme goes live, current members of Starbucks Rewards will receive a prompt to update both the Starbucks UK App and their password. Existing members will not lose any Stars or previously earned benefits.

“Any free drink coupons already collected will be automatically migrated to the new programme and members’ existing Stars will be automatically converted to reflect the changes.”
