Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte Returns, But Fans Are Craving the Missing Apple Crisp

Starbucks Unveils Pumpkin Spice Latte, Fans Divided Over Missing Apple Crisp Seattle, WA – Starbucks officially launched its highly anticipated fall menu today, bringing back the iconic Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) to eager customers nationwide. The coffee giant announced the return of the beloved autumnal beverage, available in both hot and iced formats, through a social media campaign featuring the festive drinks. However, the seasonal rollout has been met with a mixed reaction from the public. While many expressed excitement for the PSL, a significant portion of online comments revealed disappointment over the apparent absence of another popular fall item: the Apple Crisp Macchiato. "FINALLYYYYY YES," one user exclaimed, celebrating the PSL's return. Another shared their enthusiasm, "My favorite is back!! 🧡🎃🧡." Yet, the sentiment quickly shifted as customers noticed the omission of the apple-flavored drink. "SO YOURE TELLING ME IVE BEEN WAITING ALL YEAR FOR THE APPLE CRISP JUST FOR IT TO NOT BE ON THE MENU ANYMORE 😭😭😭," lamented a disappointed fan. Another comment echoed the sentiment, stating, "I NEED MY APPLE CRISP 😭." The outcry was widespread, with one user observing, "they can’t ignore us all, almost the entire comments section is abt apple crisp, they better be seeing this and taking action for later this fall/next fall." Starbucks has yet to issue a statement regarding the public's demand for the Apple Crisp Macchiato, as the focus remains on the returning Pumpkin Spice Latte. The strong consumer reaction underscores the deep connection customers have with seasonal menu items and the impact of their availability.
