Consumer Ranks Top Pumpkin Spice Lattes: Unexpected Winner Emerges in Viral Taste Test

London, UK – As autumn leaves begin to fall, the ubiquitous Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) returns to coffee shop menus, sparking a flurry of excitement among seasonal beverage enthusiasts. In a recent viral video, lifestyle creator Emily Jade embarked on a comprehensive taste test, sampling five popular PSLs from leading cafes to determine which reigns supreme. Jade meticulously evaluated lattes from Starbucks, Greggs, Black Sheep Coffee, Pret, and Dunkin' Donuts. "The Starbucks PSL had a good balance of sweetness, spice, and coffee," she noted, giving it an 8.5 out of 10. However, she expressed disappointment with Greggs, stating, "I'm honestly just getting coffee; I'm not getting any spice at all," resulting in a 6.5 rating. A surprising contender emerged as her favorite. "My winner here is Black Sheep Coffee," Jade declared, praising its creamy texture and well-blended spices, awarding it a 9 out of 10. She also highlighted Dunkin' Donuts for its strong coffee and spice balance, despite receiving a hot version instead of the iced one she ordered, rating it an 8 out of 10. Pret received a 7, described as a "really milky coffee" with no discernible spice. The video, uploaded on September 28, 2025, has garnered significant attention, with over 91,000 views, demonstrating the enduring popularity of the Pumpkin Spice Latte and consumers' keen interest in finding their perfect autumnal treat.
