It remains unclear exactly when an announcement of the Starbucks menu for this fall will be released, and a spokesperson told The U.S. Sun that the brand isn’t quite ready to leave sunny days and warm weather just yet.

“While we’re excited to welcome the most wonderfall time of the year, we’re not quite ready to leaf the summer state of mind…” the spokesperson wrote in an email.

They advised that customers savor the summer menu while it’s still here, including drinks like the Summer-Berry Starbucks Refreshers “with popping raspberry-flavored pearls.”

Additionally, the Starbucks spokesperson said that those eager to get fall started could still find the brand’s autum n drinks at participating grocery stores.

“In the meantime, customers can enjoy Starbucks flavors of fall down the grocery aisle including Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Flavored Coffee by Nespresso for Vertuo,” they wrote.

Customers will just have to wait a bit longer to see anything new when the leaves change colors at any of Starbucks’ over 17,000 locations nationwide, per HasData .

While Starbucks has the fall offerings on an airtight lockdown, the same seemingly can’t be said for competitors like Dunkin.’

The coffee company’s autumn and Halloween menus were quietly spoiled online earlier this week, although it has yet to confirm that the food and drinks listed are accurate.

The U.S. Sun has contacted Dunkin’ for more information.

Still, the tentative menus, available on August 28 and October 16, will feature several items customers are raving about.

MENU MADNESS

The autumn menu comes first on August 28, with three drinks and over five food selections.

They include the Almond Spice Coffee, a brand new drink called the Dunkalatte, and, of course, a Pumpkin Spice Latte.

An Apple Cider Donut, Pumpkin Donut, Pumpkin Muffin, Banana Chocolate Chip Bread, and Maple Sugar Bacon offerings are also expected.

For Halloween, a Potion Macchiato, Spider Donut, and 50-count Munchkin Bucket will supposedly be introduced.

Dunkin' Offerings for Fall and Halloween

Dunkin's fall and Halloween-themed offerings have been tentatively revealed. They are set to arrive on August 28 and October 16. The U.S. Sun has compiled a short list of what will reportedly be included below.

Fall Menu

• Almond Spice Coffee
• Dunkalatte (NEW)
• Pumpkin Spice Latte
• Apple Cider Donut
• Banana Chocolate Chip Bread
• Pumpkin Donut & Munchkins
• Pumpkin Muffin
• Maple Sugar Seasoned Bacon (Sandwich, Wake-Up Wrap, Snackin’ Bacon)

Halloween Menu

BUCKET LIST

The Munchkin Bucket garnered particular love from customers.

“I don’t need the bucket but I want the bucket,” someone commented on a post from food insider Markie Devo ( @markie_devo ) on Instagram.

“I want that bucket!” another echoed.

“Those buckets are adorable,” a third said.

While most Dunkin’ customers appear to be thrilled by the unconfirmed fall and Halloween menus, others are frustrated with the brand.

A customer recently blasted Dunkin’ over its “unacceptable” refund policy and vowed to boycott it forever.

Another fumed over the company’s ice policy and claimed Dunkin’ refused to fill their cup with cubes.
