The Starbucks Spring Menu Embraces New and Familiar Flavors

The Starbucks spring menu has been previewed for 2026 with a series of new and returning favorites to get customers excited for the impending end of winter and the arrival of warmer weather.

The menu starts off with a new chai recipe that embraces customization before moving on to the Toasted Coconut Cream Cold Brew and Toasted Coconut Latte made with toasted coconut syrup that will be available year-round going forward. The brand is also slated to introduce the Iced Ube Cococnut Macchiato and bring back fan-favorite lavender drinks including the Iced Lavender Cream Chai, Iced Lavender Cream Matcha, Iced Lavender Latte and Lavender Crème Frappuccino® Blended Beverage.

The Starbucks spring menu is rounded out with the new Frog Cake Pop and Energy Refreshers that will arrive later into spring in a decaf option as well as a proprietary energy blend with b vitamins and green coffee extract caffeine. The menu will arrive March 3, 2026 at participating locations nationwide.
