Pumpkin Spice Lattes a Year Round Drink?

Claire · 01-11-2005, 10:47 PM

At our Starbucks, something wonderful happened this afternoon. They took down the little snowflake next to the Pumpkin Spice Latte and put up a little cup. It's going to be on the regular menu, as long as it continues to get ordered!

I'm thrilled!

For now. As my husband pointed out, it's not going to be such the treat in say.....April. But for now, I'm ecstatic. I enter Starbucks each day filled with trepidation, thinking THIS is the day that my Pumpkin Spice will be no more......and everyday it's been there, right where I need it...coursing through my veins (okay, my digestive system, really....but veins sounded cooler).

Hallelujah!

I did buy several bottles of Gingerbread syrup to get me through any rough patches this winter, by the way. Gotta love those 50% off sales.

At my Starbucks my girl told me they had a TON of Gingerbread left, so I'm good through Feb. probably this was me >>>>>

Ohhhhhhh! I hope that is true for all Starbucks. I'll have to check out ours. I keep going in and holding my breath everytime I order a pumpkin chai latte. I keep waiting for them to say "No more pumpking syrup." I had a regular chai a couple of weeks ago and it no longer does it for me. Gotta have that pumpkin syrup.

I noticed this at my Starbucks today, too. However, I've been Pumpkined out for about a month now.....but maybe in a month or so I'll be thrilled that it's still there.

I too noticed that yesterday! The pumpkin spice latte was still up and the other 3 holiday ones were gone. I will keep ordering it! I love them! I usually get them or vanilla latte, so I'm set! In theory....

Pumpkin was on the menu but Gingerbread was off. However, they were still able to make me a Gingerbread Latte. (And I do have a burbon-sided bottle of the syrup ay home).

Claire - you are the source of my demise! It was YOU who turned me on to the glory of Pumpkin Spice Latte and I have not ordered anything different since!

In fact, I was just thinking, should I stop right after I leave the house this morning and drink mine on the way to work... or stop as I get close to work and drink it while I'm at work.

It's just sooooo good. In a way, I wish they would stop carrying it so I can fight my addiction. It's getting expensive... and I have to hide my cups so no one knows just how often I go!

While I'm not digging the Pumpkin Spice Latte (sorry girls!!), my important announcement is this:

The one and only Starbucks in town (that opened no more than 3 months ago) has decided to stay open 24 hours, 7 days a week!! Now I can get my caffine on 24/7.

Betty, my addiction is pretty bad as well. As a resolution, I'm tracking my coffee spending. I shudder to think what will happen when my gift cards run out!!

Green with envy, girl.

I'm not looking forward to the chocolate drink.

Sounds too sweet for me....I juuuuuust got used to the sweetness of the gingerbread lattes.

But in a PMS pinch, it might do the job.
