Pumpkin Spice

When will Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, and Krispy Kreme kick off PSL season? We've got the rundown on when these restaurants start to serve pumpkin spice treats.

Dear Pumpkin Spice Latte Haters...can you just...not?

It's almost time to light a pumpkin spice-scented candle, draw a pumpkin spice bubble bath, rip off the mask, and stick our faces deep into a bag of pumpkin spice marshmallows. It's the stress reliever we need right now.

We're sitting here just counting down the days until the official Pumpkin Spice Latte returns to Starbucks here in the Treasure Valley. Until then, Starbucks has offered their "leaf rakers" a cool alternative in 2019.

Once the lattes hit, the pumpkin spice floodgates will be open and there will be no holding back the pumpkin spice almonds, chips, and beard oil. Some of these seasonal products we may love more than others.

If you've been sort of ho-hum about all of the pumpkin spice offerings so far this fall and have yet to discover a favorite, wrap your mouth around any one of these top four items and your taste buds are going to light up. Pumpkin spice peanut butter? Yes!

Raise your hand if you're a proud member of the "Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice" club!

I'm not embarrassed to admit that I've spent a decent part of Labor Day weekend watching Starbucks' live feed of the arrival of the Pumpkin Spice Latte.

You know it's coming.  The pumpkin spice explosion.  It usually happens around Labor Day, but one Boise spot might beat everyone else by releasing the pumpkin spice latte on this August date.

It's almost a rule that once September hits, our lives turn toward pumpkin spice. The drinks, the food, the candles, even the candy. We're absolutely obsessed. The first drink of my pumpkin spice latte seems to envelop me like an old blanket making me feel all cozy and protected from the world. According to science, I'm not the only one who thinks that way -  you do, too.
