Starbucks
Fall release date: August 22
Starbucks had their fall menu leaked in late July this year, but are they ever really “leaked” based on historical track records? At any rate, we can’t be mad at them for giving us a sweet look at what’s to come in just a little over a week now.

Peet’s
Fall release date: Late August
Once again, Peet’s plays their fall menu cards close to their chest unlike some of their slightly more popular competitors — Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks. While it is not certain what will be on the menu (not much has been released), we can take a gander based on previous years.
Expected items include the infamous Chicken and Waffles Sandwich, signature Vine and Walnut Blend and, of course, the standard PSL. While new items are TBA with the menu release, customers can count on high-quality, artisanal blends of some of the seasonal flavor favorites.
Dutch Bros
Fall release date: August 23 (rumored)
Dutch Bros is another chain that doesn’t like to reveal too much ahead of time with releases. According to last year’s menu, you can expect a Caramel Pumpkin Brûlée with a pumpkin drizzle option to throw on any drink.
Tim Hortons
Fall release date: August 21
Up until August 20, rewards members at Tim Hortons will get a chance to sample fall drinks before they’re released en masse to everyone. Based on what has been dropped so far, the menu is following a standard fall drink release, though keep your eyes peeled for some surprise treats.
What's on the menu:
- Pumpkin Spice Iced Cappuccino
- Pumpkin Spice Latte
- Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew with Cold Foam
