This makes us very happy indeed.

Coinciding perfectly with the return of chilly mornings and darker evenings, Starbucks is bringing back the world’s favourite autumn treat a little earlier this year.

Word has it that the famous Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte will be available on Opera Lane from September 6th, making its 2018 debut earlier than ever.

A blend of Starbucks’ signature espresso and milk, highlighted by notes of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove and topped with whipped cream, the cult treat is revered by fans as the taste of autumn.

Really, 350 million people can’t be wrong – that’s how many Pumpkin Lattes have been sold around the world since the seasonal drink was introduced in 2003.
