Pumpkin Spice Latte: How to Order It (Hot, Iced or Customized)

The PSL is espresso with pumpkin spice sauce, steamed milk, whipped cream and pumpkin spice topping. It's sweet by default, so most customizations are about dialing that back — every order below spells out the pumps.

How to order these without fumbling

Iced PSLs taste less sweet than hot ones at the same pump count.
Oatmilk pairs well with the spice; skip the whip to cut the richness.

Questions people ask

When does the pumpkin spice latte come back?

Usually late August through the fall, while supplies last. Most stores run out of pumpkin sauce by early winter.

Can I get a pumpkin spice latte year-round?

Only while the pumpkin sauce is in stock. Off-season, the closest option is a latte with cinnamon dolce syrup and pumpkin spice topping if available.

How many calories are in a pumpkin spice latte?

A grande with 2% milk and whipped cream is about 390 calories. Nonfat milk and no whip brings it near 260.
