The Ultimate Starbucks Fall Menu Vegan Ordering Guide (We Tried Every Drink!)

Another year passes, and still no vegan update to the iconic Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL). The drink does exist in the UK and parts of Europe (so we know it’s possible), yet the US branch of this international coffee giant hasn’t adopted the dairy-free pumpkin spice sauce.

Thankfully, though, Starbucks has introduced other vegan fall beverages. And now, in any drink, you can choose oat, almond, soy, or coconut milk instead of cow’s milk, free of charge.

In fact, vegan-friendly seasonal drinks are starting to become a regular feature on the chain’s menu. Thirsty? Here are some of our favorite autumnal, dairy-free concoctions that you can order right now.

1 Pecan Crunch Latte (hot or iced)

Back for 2026, the Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte made its debut in 2024 and quickly became a fall favorite. Rich, buttery, and nutty, it’s layered with all the flavors of the season. The inspiration? Lead beverage developer Patrick Penny’s grandmother’s pecan pie. So you know every sip is basically warm, cozy comfort in a cup. To make this drink fully vegan, omit the dairy cold foam altogether, or simply request Starbucks’ non-dairy cold foam.

Barista tip: Whether you prefer soy, almond, or coconut milk, you’ll want to stick with oat milk when ordering this new fall bev, as it pairs best with Starbucks’ Blonde Espresso.

2 Pecan Oatmilk Cortado

If you like nutty flavors but prefer a more coffee-forward beverage, you’ll love the Pecan Oatmilk Cortado, which first hit the menu last year. The rich, strong espresso is perfectly balanced by the pecan syrup and the creamy oat milk. It’s smooth, rich, and set to be your new go-to.

Barista tip: For an extra boost of autumnal flavors, ask for extra drizzle.

3Iced Banana Bread Latte

For 2026, Starbucks has introduced two new banana bread fall drinks. While the Iced Banana Bread Chai can’t be veganized, the Iced Banana Bread Latte can be made dairy-free with a few tweaks. All you need to do is ask for dairy-free cold foam and, of course, an alternative milk. Yep, it’s as easy as that.

Barista tip: Bananas and nuts are a dream team, so ask for almond milk instead of oat milk in this new seasonal favorite.

Cinnamon Dolce Latte (hot or iced)

This item never leaves the menu, but the warming cinnamon spices beckon feelings of fall. Easily transform this drink into a vegan-friendly option by swapping in your favorite plant milk and asking for no whipped cream and swapping out cinnamon dolce topping (it contains dairy) for plain cinnamon. 

Barista tip: For a creamier, chilled beverage, try it as for a blended Frappuccino.

5Iced Hazelnut Oatmilk Shaken Espresso

Hazelnuts are a bit more wintery than fall, but if you’re one of those people who start playing Christmas music in September, ring in the season early with this comforting drink. It’s made with the chain’s Blonde Espresso roast, hazelnut syrup, and oat milk by default. 

Barista tip: Hazelnut syrup is available year-round, so feel free to ask for pumps of this sweet syrup in a drink of your choosing for a fall (or winter) flavor boost any time of year.

7 Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso

This chilled beverage was introduced in 2021, but anything with brown sugar and cinnamon deserves a spot on a fall menu. This richly sweet, creamy drink is vegan as-is and topped with cinnamon, which makes it taste like a sweet, sugary baked good at a fall farmers’ market. It doesn’t get any better than that. 

Barista tip: A grande comes with four pumps of brown sugar syrup, so ask for half that if you’re in need of something less cloying.

8Brown Sugar Oatmilk Cortado

For all the flavors of the Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso but with a more coffee-forward twist, opt for the hot Brown Sugar Oatmilk Cortado. Made with three shots of Blonde Espresso, this brew packs the fall flavors thanks to brown sugar syrup, cinnamon, and creamy oat milk.

Barista tip: For an extra sweet drink, ask for more of the signature brown sugar syrup.

9Nutmeg London Fog Tea Latte

Trick out your typical tea latte by asking your barista to top your drink with a sprinkle of nutmeg. The warm spice will bring out the vanilla flavors of this mixed drink and add a layer of warm fuzzies to your morning. 

Barista tip: This tastes exceptional with oat milk.
