Fall is arguably one of the most flavorful seasons. There are so many new kinds of pumpkin-related foods and flavors. Every year, Starbucks and Dunkin go head to head when bringing back fall-related frappuccinos, macchiatos, lattes, etc. In honor of the spooky season. This year we were given the great opportunity to get back seasonal favorites such as the Pumpkin Spice Latte and Iced Apple Crisp Oat Milk Shaken Espresso, in comparison to Dunkin’s Nutty Pumpkin Coffee and the Pumpkin Swirl. The list goes on and on! Starbucks’ ultimate fan favorite would be the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew. The Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew is sweetened with vanilla-flavored syrup and finished with pumpkin cream cold foam and a dusting of pumpkin spice. The sweet, distinctive taste is incomparable.
Dunkin lovers were obsessed when they came out with the Signature Pumpkin Spice Latte. It is blended with rich espresso and milk, then topped with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and a pinch of cinnamon sugar. Alongside the popular drinks, it is always nice to pair them with something warm and sweet, such as the Starbucks Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin or a New Baked Apple Croissant. Or perhaps a pumpkin muffin, overflowing with notes of pumpkin and sweet spices, topped with streusel, a crumb topping found in most popular fall drinks, and a drizzle of white icing from Dunkin. Every so often, they both tend to update the drinks or come out with new ones, but regardless, they are always customizable to your taste buds! So what is your personal favorite? Starbucks or Dunkin?
