With autumn around the corner, Starbucks Canada is delighting fans with the introduction of its beloved seasonal menu, including some exciting new options. The popular coffee shop chain is now offering iconic pumpkin beverage duo Pumpkin Spice Latte and Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, alongside the Salted Caramel Mocha and fall bakery items: Pumpkin Scone and Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin.
In addition, customers can now customize their beverages with Starbucks Canada's new Oat beverage, the fourth dairy alternative to join the Starbucks Canada menu. To celebrate the official launch of the new dairy alternative, the brand also debuted the Apple Oat Flat White–available exclusively in Canada–made with Starbucks signature espresso, steamed Oat beverage, apple syrup, and finished with a clove sugar topping.
