BROOKLINE, MA — Starbucks’ legendary Pumpkin Spice Latte, or PSL, will return to Brookline stores on Tuesday, August 30, the company announced Monday.

This year marks the 19th anniversary of the classic fall coffee drink, which is a combination of espresso, steamed milk, pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove topped with whipped cream and pumpkin spice. PSL is available hot, iced or blended while supplies last.

Also returning this year for a limited time is the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, which is celebrating its fourth year on the menu. The cold drink is made with cold brew sweetened with vanilla syrup and topped with pumpkin cream cold foam and pumpkin spice.

The Apple Crisp Macchiato is back too, but with a twist. The drink, which combines flavors of apple, cinnamon, and brown sugar with a spiced apple drizzle, is now made with oat milk and blonde espresso. It is available hot, iced, or blended.

“Crafting the Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato with Starbucks Blonde Espresso gives the beverage a soft and smooth foundation that ties all the flavors together,” Starbucks beverage developer Harvey Rojas Mora said in a statement. “The oatmilk adds a creaminess and brings forward the oat flavors of a traditional apple crisp topping.”
