For many across the UK, the true arrival of Autumn isn’t marked by falling leaves or the crisp morning air. Instead, it’s the return of a beloved seasonal staple: the Pumpkin Spice Latte. And no one does it like Starbucks. The coffee shop favourite’s new seasonal menu has just expanded with 11 new must-try items – including highlights such as the Maple & Pecan Swirl – and a fresh range of cosy PSL-inspired merchandise to immerse yourself into.
To mark the occasion, the coffee favourite will be taking over Covent Garden with an exclusive outdoor pop-up cinema, screening iconic films from 19th to 21st September, – the perfect way to enjoy the flavours and feels of the season. The Pumpkin Spice Cinema will be set on the famous piazza, where movie buffs and coffee fans alike can watch blockbuster movies such as Bridget Jones’s Diary, Forrest Gump and The Devil Wears Prada.
Guests of the Pumpkin Spice Cinema will also be treated to the latest addition to Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice portfolio, the Pumpkin Cream Iced Chai Tea Latte, along with Pumpkin Spice-flavoured popcorn while nestling under warm, Autumnal-orange blankets. And for Starbucks Rewards members, there’s an additional treat in store, with goodie bags that include exclusive Autumn merchandise from the collection.
