Fall is about to be upon us, and people are raving about the different fall treats that have been released. Starbucks, Krispy Kreme and Dunkin’ Donuts have original and new, autumnal treats to start off the season right. This is one of the best ways to jump into the season.
Starting with Starbucks, the company has introduced new drinks and treats and have brought back some crowd-favorites. Returning of course is the Pumpkin Spice Latte that reminds most people of the fall season. They also are bringing back the pumpkin cream cold brew, pumpkin cream cheese muffin and owl cake pop. Starbucks’ introduction of their new drinks and treats has made people very excited. They are introducing their new Iced pumpkin cream chai tea latte, apple crisp oat milk shaken espresso and a new fall treat, the baked apple croissant. People are ecstatic about these new flavors, including Jane Taylor, a sophomore, said she is “loving the new pumpkin cream chai tea latte.”
Dunkin Donuts is also exciting people by bringing back their originals. The returning pumpkin spice signature latte competes with the Starbucks pumpkin spice latte and leaves people wondering which one they should select. Agnes Hughes, a junior, said, “I really prefer the Starbucks pumpkin spice latte over Dunkin’s latte”. The nutty pumpkin coffee and pumpkin swirl coffee are also returning at Dunkin’, as well as the pumpkin cake donuts and pumpkin muffin. Finally, Dunkin’ is also reintroducing their maple bacon on different savory meals.
Lastly, Krispy Kreme also has a sweet line up. The favorite pumpkin spice original glazed donut has returned, as well as their pumpkin spice cake donut. They are also introducing a pumpkin spice cheesecake swirl donut and a pumpkin spice cake donut.
