Pumpkin Spiced Latte Season began nationwide early in September and now that the weather is a tad bit cooler in San Antonio, natives may begin to feel like drinking their favorite hot Pumpkin Spice beverage – the Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL). No Starbucks in your neighborhood? Never fear – Dunkin’ Donuts and McDonalds have also jumped on the PSL bandwagon. According to the Dunkin’ Donuts web site, “Guests can savor the season with Dunkin’ Donuts’ delicious pumpkin flavored coffee and lattes, served hot or iced. Dunkin’ Donuts’ Pumpkin Macchiato, also served hot or iced, is a handcrafted, layered espresso beverage made with steamed milk and pumpkin flavored swirl, then topped with a double shot of Dunkin’ Donuts’ rich, freshly-brewed espresso. Dunkin’ Donuts will also bring back baked goods perfect for a fall treat any time of day, including the Pumpkin Donut, a glazed pumpkin cake donut that can also be enjoyed as bite-size MUNCHKINS® donut hole treats. Dunkin’ Donuts’ Pumpkin Muffin is a pumpkin spiced autumn delight topped with white icing and sweet streusel crumbs. For fall brew-at-home options, Dunkin’ Donuts Pumpkin flavored K-Cup® pods are available in a box of 14 individually-sized portions, and Dunkin’ Donuts’ packaged Pumpkin flavored coffee is available in a 16 oz. size. Both are available at participating Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants as well as online at http://shop.dunkindonuts.com. For a new fall treat, Dunkin’ Donuts has introduced new Pumpkin Spice packaged coffee and K-Cup® pods (in both 10-count and 16-count boxes), available at grocery stores nationwide for a limited time only.” If you find yourself in the McDonald’s drive thru try ordering a McCafé Pumpkin Spice Latte, “freshly brewed and spiced to perfection with hints of pumpkin and cinnamon flavors”, it’s sure to please.
