Starbucks announced their 2025 fall menu back in August, and to the dismay of many fans, apple-flavored drinks weren’t included. It’s not clear if feedback from fans or a company plan was involved, but beginning October 14, the Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso and Apple Crisp Cold foam are returning in regular and protein-enhanced versions.
The Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso features blond espresso shaken with apple-crisp-flavored syrup with notes of fresh apple, cinnamon, and brown sugar and is served with oatmilk over ice. The Apple Crisp Cold Foam can be added to any drink to get the apple flavor, and the Apple Crisp Protein Cold Foam has 15 grams of protein in a grande-sized serving.
In addition, starting September 29, Starbucks will be introducing new Protein Lattes and Protein Cold Foams in flavors including chocolate, vanilla, matcha, banana, brown sugar, and salted caramel. The only downside to the menu additions is the absence of Iced Apple Crisp Non-Dairy Cream Chai, Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato, Iced Caramel Apple Cream Latte, and Iced Honey Apple Almondmilk Flat White. Starbucks had revealed plans to cut back on the number of menu items earlier this year, and it looks like these are part of that plan.
