"The Starbucks Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai is a pure delight and was deemed a favorite when our writer tried all the new fall 2025 Starbucks menu items. And I have to agree. It's a delicious blend of black tea, cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, ginger, cloves, and star anise, giving you a fully warming experience, despite the ice. It's beautifully presented with the pumpkin spice cold foam and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spices (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves)"
"The pumpkin cold foam offers a creamy touch to each sip, along with whichever milk you pick as the drink's base. The drink has a creamy foundation but isn't too cloying, which is appreciated. You get a blend of pumpkin flavor from the pumpkin puree, pleasant spices, and that black tea foundation. I even liked the delicate crunch of the ice itself. This is a must-try."
"Fall is creeping around the corner and will be here before we know it. Depending on where you live, you may notice cooler temperatures, and if you're lucky, you might have already dusted off your sweater from the back of your closet. That hasn't happened yet where I'm based in the San Diego area, but I can feel it getting closer. To give myself a seasonal mood booster, I set out to try some pumpkin fast food products."
Fall approaching brings interest in seasonal pumpkin fast-food items, but the overall selection is narrower than expected. Some chains offer alternative flavors like Sonic's Salted Caramel Toffee Iced Coffee, while other classic items such as Starbucks Pumpkin Scones have been removed. Starbucks' Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai combines black tea with warming spices—cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, ginger, cloves, and star anise—and features pumpkin puree topped by pumpkin spice cold foam and a pumpkin pie spice sprinkle. The drink is creamy without being overly sweet, with pleasant spice notes and a satisfying ice crunch. A Dunkin' secret-menu hack can mimic a similar iced pumpkin chai.
