Pumpkin Spice Lattes Are Back!

Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts bring back the beloved pumpkin spice early.


Maybe it's the swirl of cinnamon or the bright orange of the pumpkin... Or even that smoosh of whipped cream that I'm not supposed to order, but I usually do... But the Pumpkin Spice Latte is what coffee dreams are made of.

I know I'm not alone in thinking this because I've seen it all over Facebook and Twitter this week as elated coffee fiends rejoiced in the fact that both Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts brought their pumpkin goods back before Labor Day this year.

Starbucks went the classic route, giving us what we want — the Pumpkin Spice Latte — and that's it. 

But Dunkin' Donuts amped up their game adding loads of pumpkin products to the menu — pumpkin munchkins, pumpkin donuts, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin bagels, pumpkin bagel twists. My little pumpkin heart danced with joy at the sight of all that orange. 

What's your favorite pumpkin treat? Do you like seeing the pumpkin products on the shelves before Labor Day or would you rather wait until after the holiday? Tell me in the comments, I want to hear from you!
