Autumn is a state of mind, and Pumpkin Spice Latte is its official drink. Whether you’re curled up under a blanket or running between meetings – order in the app, the courier rings your doorbell, and you’ve got autumn in a cup. See where, how, and for how much you can get Pumpkin Latte from Starbucks and McDonald’s, plus a few tricks to get the perfect flavor for your taste.
What is Pumpkin Spice Latte
It’s classic espresso combined with milk and a spiced syrup: cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, sometimes ginger and vanilla. The result? It tastes like coffee + a slice of apple pie and pumpkin pie in one. In the iced version, there’s also ice, and in some versions – creamy foam.
Starbucks: when, how much, and how to personalize
- When: the season usually starts around late August or September and lasts until late autumn. Most likely, you’ll find it from September to November; in the app, you can see its status right away in the seasonal menu.
- Sizes: Small, Medium, Large. Available for takeout and delivery (e.g. Uber Eats/Glovo, availability varies by city).
- Personalization:
- Milk: cow’s, oat, almond, soy.
- Sweetness: less syrup, extra espresso shot, no whipped cream.
- Temperature: “extra hot” or with ice
- Calories and price: highest with whipped cream and whole milk; want something lighter – choose oat milk/no whipped cream, one less syrup.
McDonald’s: pumpkin latte as another pumpkin spice option on the market
- Pumpkin latte usually appears seasonally in McCafé. The recipe is simpler, often cheaper, and delivery is quicker, especially if there’s no Starbucks nearby.
- Pro tip: order as a combo with an autumn treat – it’s often a better deal, and the taste is spot on.
How to order delivery so it’s hot and delicious
- Choose the nearest coffee shop location – fewer minutes = hotter coffee.
- Select “no whipped cream” for longer delivery routes (the whipped cream deflates faster).
- For the iced version, order extra ice if you have a longer pickup time.
- Add a note for the courier: “Please keep the cup upright” – it really helps.
Pumpkin Spice Latte vs Pumpkin Latte: what to choose
- Vegan and customization? Starbucks. Milk options, foams, syrups – you’ll craft your perfect profile.
- Budget and speed? McCafé. Simpler, cheaper, more often nearby.
- Team “crave autumn, but not sugar”? Ask for less syrup or an extra espresso shot.

Autumn Cheat Sheet for the Busy
No time to wait in line? Just tap the app, choose the nearest coffee shop, and your PSL arrives at your door faster than you can find your blanket in the closet. Personalize shamelessly: less syrup, extra espresso, oat milk, no whipped cream – the closer to your taste, the more likely you’ll order again. If your delivery route is longer, skip the whipped cream and select “extra hot” or go for the iced version – it’ll taste better on the way.
