It may still be hot out, but Starbucks says fall is here.

Starting today, the Pumpkin Spice Latte is back in stores. The 23-year-old drink has been popular since its debut. It's made with espresso, milk and pumpkin sauce.

Also returning are the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, made with cold brew, vanilla syrup and pumpkin cream cold foam, and Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai, a spice-infused black tea mixed with milk and pumpkin cream cold foam.

New drinks include the Ice Pumpkin Cream Shaken Espresso, which contains pumpkin cream cold foam, the Iced Pumpkin Cream Matcha, which adds the pumpkin cream cold foam to the leafy drink, and Pumpkin Spice Chai, a spice-infused black tea mixed with steamed milk and sweet pumpkin sauce.

Returning with the pumpkin drinks are Pecan Cortado and Iced Pecan Crunch Latte and Pecan Crunch Latte, featuring nutty and brown-buttery flavors as well as baking spices.

Starbucks also added two banana bread-themed drinks: the Iced Banana Bread Latte and the Iced Banana Bread Chai to its menu. Both have banana syrup and are topped with brown sugar cream cold foam and cinnamon dolce.

For apple cider fans, the Seattle-based company introduced an Iced Chaider that combines Starbucks chai with strawberry acai flavors.

The Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin, a spiced pumpkin muffin with sweet cream cheese filling and chopped pepitas topping, is also back.

New food items include the Chicken Bacon Protein Pocket and the Hedgehog Cake Pop made with vanilla cake, buttercream and chocolate icing.
