At Starbucks you should try an iced chai w/ espresso, brown sugar syrup & pumpkin cold foam! Some people even add pumpkin syrup to it as well and it’s so good!

[@hrpomes]

I second this it’s the best fall drink I’ve tried! Dunkin’ can be great but can also be trash they have literally no consistency it’s entirely dependent on who’s making it which sucks :(

[@neonkayla527]

You need to try the iced chai with pumpkin cream cold foam !! Def has a good fall taste !🎃🍁🍂

[@sierrabozarthxo]

my favorite!!!

[@piper.madelyn]

einstein bros bagels- their pumpkin latte is AMAZING. so fall and imo better than starbucks and dunkin!! 10/10

[@brittanypleasant4517]

I’m SO sad the pumpkin drinks aren’t hitting this year! 😭

[@ClockworkWriter]

Iced chai with whole milk is what I always order for a chai and it’s my fave. 💗

[@americanprincess851]

It’s so good with whole milk

[@briananoellearguedas]

My go to fall drink from starbs is a venti iced chai with heavy cream, 6 pumps chai, 6 pumps pumpkin sauce and pumpkin cold foam. It truly tastes likes fall and I love it. Ive never been a PSL fan so this drink is heaven. You should do a video trying your subscribers fall drinks.

[@lillybaum22]

you need to try a vanilla iced chai with pumpkin cold foam!!! perfect fall drink so good

[@selahmea]

You should do part 2 of this video, where you order the "modified versions." So If everyone says to get a specific drink w/ an extra shot of vanilla, you order that one. Anyways I love your content! 💓

[@victoriabutterfield8579]

Love this series !! You should do it at Christmas time too. My go to fall drink at Starbucks is an ice cafe latte, with oat milk and 2 pumps of pumpkin

[@ashleyking4458]

My husband orders a caramel apple spice from Starbucks an adds 3 pumps of chai to it. Taste like apple pie in a cup. My Best Friend gets a Chai Cream Frap, with vanilla bean as the base and few pumps of chai blended in.

[@ciaraquevedo]

@ Starbucks - caramel macchiato, BUT sub out the vanilla syrup for the pumpkin sauce. *chef’s kiss*

[@rachaeldowning9224]

I sometimes get an iced chai with two shots of espresso and pumpkin cream cold foam on the top! Sooooo goooood. Or i'll mix it up and get the Iced shaken Brown sugar oat milk drink with the pumpkin cream cold foam.

[@rachaeldowning9224]

maybe do a 'trying my subscribers fall drinks' and try out some other options to see if you can find your fall drink!!

[@hannahkinnan2447]

seriously loving the fall content! fall is my favorite season by far, so im SUPER thankful for you and this series! hope you have a good time in disneyland!!

[@sunsetblvd7304]

Omgh yes!! I love how you have series on your channel!!🧡🧡

[@catherinethetheatrenerd3801]

at starbucks you should try an iced chai with 3 pumps of pumpkin syrup, pumpkin cold foam and the pumpkin topping!!

[@marvelgirl1608]

Yesss!! I am so ready for fall! I can't wait to watch this!

[@etcomehome]

I feel like you’re the only one who gets me when it comes to PSL! If i try to it explain why the PSL coffee doesn’t taste right everyone just rolls their eyes at me haha! Loving this series Em! Love getting in the fall spirit with you!

[@Sarahlovely88]

the iced pumpkin latte from dunkin is so good! i actually love dunkin more than starbucks now haha

[@alyssajones5781]

The Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew from Starbucks is my fall time FAV. Add 2 extra pumps of pumpkin sauce, SO GOOD! 🎃

[@maiaeames]

I'm also disappointed in the pumpkin this year :'( I like to add cinnamon to my pumpkin drinks to add a little more ~fall~ but it doesn't always help. Also you are supposed to mix the macchiatos if you want them to taste yummy haha! Otherwise you're basically just drinking the espresso on top and the milk/syrup on the bottom. I think the apple crisp tastes like you're taking a bite out of an apple candle or something 😭

[@Sassyellechica]

Hi Emily 😊 I have to live vicariously through you when it comes to drinking PSL. I used to like them but they don't like me back. Hope your getting into your fall mode

[@tiamarrow6366]

Okay you are literally so beyond gorgeous and stunning 😍 like it should honestly be illegal to be this insanely beautiful 😍

[@pumpkinpie5265]

I think the pumpkin spice of the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is the best!

[@Sam-cm4xw]

I work at Starbucks and the apple crisp oat milk macchiato does smell just like a bath and body works candle when we are making them!

[@squid5681]

Chai is my ULTIMATE fall drink

[@erinmichele613]

The Starbucks pumpkin cream cold brew definitely tastes like pumpkin 🎃

[@gabbyfv]

I love that green t shirt you had at the end it was so cute! I had a Starbucks pumpkin spice latte a couple of weeks ago and it didn’t really taste like pumpkin, it did but it also didn’t at the same time. I unfortunately don’t have any recommendations for fall drinks, but I do remember there being this one drink that I would get from Starbucks towards like the winter time and it was a salted caramel mocha latte I believe. It is so delicious and it just made me feel really good and still got me into that same spirit 🧡

[@kachow3429]

if you get the chance, try dutch bros pumpkin caramel brûlée !

[@rileycakes18]

As a former starbucks barista THANK YOU for not stirring the macchiato at first! A lot of people don't realize that macchiatos are intentionally layered drinks and are meant to be enjoyed either bitter to sweet, or sweet to bitter. It pains me when I see costumers mixing it lol. Unfortunately though, your baristas should have mixed in the syrup that's sitting at the bottom 😌

[@sydneydonaldson174]

I like the Iced Apple Macchiato from Starbucks but I add pumpkin Cold foam to it and I get it with regular milk instead of oat. That taste like fall to me! 😁

[@claire3367]

YESSS the coffee videos are my fave as a coffee lover myself ✨☕️

[@annahausmann3459]

If you order a “dirty chai” it’s a chai latte with a shot of espresso (or just tell them you want a shot of espresso in your chai latte drink)! Super yummy and one of my go-to fall drinks 😋

[@MsMusic314]

At Dunkin' you should try an ice cappuccino with pumpkin syrup I usually get it with oat milk or cream. Also if you wanna try a small coffee place in Florida, there's this place called NewCity Coffee Co. in Lake Mary, Florida. They have a Fall themed coffee flight.

[@emj_is_preppy_13]

try the caramel ribbon crunch frap with 2 pumps pumpkinnn! its so good :)

[@lindseysmithh]

I love your videos, so much and I’m going to Disney for the third time this year in October! I would literally cry if I met you!! This video was so cute btw!!

[@hannahbittinger4470]

Your coffee videos are my favorite!!! I watch every single one! Also you’re so gorgeous! Love your flannel!

[@Caityxox_]

Starbucks will always be my favourite pumpkin spice latte!

[@dannyquinn9684]

All your besties, including myself, know you’re the best Cold Brew Connoisseur and that Joffrey’s, Starbucks, and Dunkin delivers the best. Dunkin is always my favorite breakfast spot ever. I’m not really a cold brew drinker but I do wanna start now that I’m used to hot coffee. Joffrey’s is on my list of breakfast places to go. Great Cold Brew Review Emily.

[@cloverewey2570]

Iced chai latte with pumpkin cream cold foam and brown sugar syrup from Starbucks is THE FALL DRINK!!! IT LITERALLY IS FALL IN A CUP!!!

[@ximenareyna8169]

loving the uploading consistency lately, can’t wait to watch your disneyland content!!

[@MalloryCashman]

Chai latte with espresso is called a dirty chai and it’s FANTASTIC!!!

[@Happilyannaafter]

I get a dirty chai at Starbucks (chai tea with espresso) and it’s SO GOOD!

[@Chocolatedestroyer98]

I don’t know if it’s in Florida but my favorite is the iced pumpkin latte from Peet’s. I’m not a huge pumpkin fan I would like more coffee taste than pumpkin and this is it!

[@isabellapaone]

If you like matcha try a iced matcha with three pumps of chai and sweet cream cold foam!

[@sofiastonestreet1111]

I recently found your channel, and I’m so obsessed with it Emily! Loving the fall Disney vibes🧡🖤

[@vanessafacio6051]

hi bestie! my go to fall drink rn is a iced matcha latte with oat milk, 4 pumps of brown sugar, 3 pumps of pumpkin sauce, and vanilla sweet cream cold foam from starbies! its SO good it taste just like fall you should def try it!!

[@tacobella6474]

Omg please make this a series!! Do it for vanilla, caramel, mocha, etc.. 😍

[@elainabargas3347]

My go to fall bev is a Starbucks brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso but replace half the brown sugar syrup with pumpkin sauce. 😋

[@liz101jenjen]

This year, Dunkin definitely takes the #1 spot for me. I do agree they may have given you extra creamer. But I love ordering the PSL with oat milk and an extra pump of pumpkin🧡🎃

[@magicallymadison]

Gotta try the PSL hot at Starbucks!!

[@alexjayne_]

Omg I love all pumpkin drinks 😍🧡

[@coralinesvlogs]

You should either try an iced dirty chai with pumpkin cold foam from starbucks or the iced pumpkin chai tea latte from dunkin both are amazing!

[@annieselph1766]

If you’re ever back in Texas for fall and see a summer moon their Autumn moon latte is my absolute favorite fall drink!

[@isabellavaldes1959]

Love the vid as always ❤ I see some ppl have their own variations so I’m going with my 2 cents😮‍💨 my go to is a dirty pumpkin spice chai with oat milk , pumpkin cold foam and cinnamon on top

[@lateramae]

Just like you, I was very disappointed with Starbucks' iced pumpkin spice latte. It tasted good, but I couldn't taste the pumpkin at all! I now need to try the caramel apple chai latte

[@JPRESA]

Here's what you need to try. Order 2 iced shots of starbucks espresso in a venti cup and then add a Bubbly sparkling water to it (any flavor). IT IS THE BEST DRINK EVER. TRUST ME!!

[@lilyjones6339]

I LOVE FALL SO MUCH AND YOU MAKE IT EVEN BETTER! ILYSM EMILYYYY! 💕

[@magicwithreina]

I had the caramel apple chai the other day and I loved it!!! Loved this video Emily 🧡

[@TheKenzieTano]

I think it was changed too!! I’ve had a couple of them this year and it hasn’t hit . My sister works at Starbucks and she said to order it with extra pumps of pumpkin sauce in the drink and then extra pumpkin cream cold brew on top and then to make sure to stir the drink . I had it yesterday and it was the best pumpkin drink ever !!!!!

[@hollyiman8931]

I tried the dunkin pumpkin cream cold brew and had the same issue! My go to is just a pumpkin iced coffee from dunkin and I taste plenty of pumpkin!😋

[@JessicaKonish]

Bestie this is such a cute idea! I love ☺️

[@alyssazazulak6377]

Iced chai latte w/ pumpkin cold foam from Starbucks! I usually ask for extra foam.

[@BCAmplified]

Good vid, Em...Much love to all my fellow caffeine warriors out there!

[@alessandragironda2820]

The content I needed!! Your videos have been so on point recently!💗

[@jayneestrycker8691]

Wish they had Joeffrys in Indiana😊

[@itselle2158]

Starbucks Barista Here! Our new pumpkin recipe is so disappointing, but order a grande chai tea latte, 2 blonde shots, 2 pump brown sugar, and pumpkin cream cold foam with apple crisp syrup topping!

[@itselle2158]

If you want a hot one ask (instead of the cold foam) for a hot grande chai tea latte 2 espresso shots, 2 pumps brown sugar, 3 pumps pumpkin, pumpkin spice steamed in, apple crisp syrup topping

[@kayek8751]

okay but where did you get that outfit? im jealous!! your style is always so good, and your content, even better. love the coffee reviews!

[@abritofcharlie]

bestie, you gotta get an iced chai w espresso + pumpkin cold foam!!!! or my fav is a hot PSL w oat milk but I deffo think the recipe changed this year :(

[@Karastardust]

Love all the pumpkin fall decor. Personally my go to is white chocolate mocha hot. Only been to Dunkin Donuts once so far.

[@SarahMcMizzles]

Where is your sweater from? I’m obsessed!! 🥰

[@swooshitupsocks6544]

thank you emily!! hope ur having a fun time in disneyland 🧡

[@tgonzalez4155]

Thankyou emily for this fall videos you are the best!!!

[@HannahVickers]

Can I ask where your plaid sweater at the start is from? Love it!

[@linaisabella8538]

Lattes are made with milk. Since the measurements can’t be changed ask for almond milk and more pumpkin pumps

[@andrea6476]

Dunkin- iced vanilla latte with pumpkin cream cold foam

[@mollycooper907]

Okay yes! Starbucks pumpkin does NOT taste like it used to. I got a psl first day it came out and it was eh, so I got it again figuring it might’ve just been off, but still tasted the same!

[@eringarceau3752]

Latte is made with milk that wasn't cream. A lot of people think because of the color and that it's cream but it's not. I'm really bummed out with the flavors this year too. They don't really taste pumpkin

[@werew3]

Omg yes. This is the video I love the most! Okay first of all, im so saddened by your rating of starbucks of psl.. but I’m glad you felt the pumpkin cold brew was the best from there. I think the newer recipes of psl or pumpkin syrups from Starbucks is lighter as they put more of the real pumpkin in the syrup opposed to artificial hence why the flavor isn’t as strong. I also love their pumpkin cream cold brew more then their psl. As for other places, i feel like dunkins drinks are a hit or miss but they started their fall drink collection much earlier then Starbucks. As for Jeffroys, I’m also surprised they didn’t hit quite well with you. You have become quite the critic when it comes to rating ice coffees which is in the best way. If you like chai, why not try the spooky sg? Hahah remember her, ice chai latte with pumpkin cream and or the cinderella latte you tried at Disney plus was a great fall contender. Order iced psl with sub half of pumpkin syrup for white chocolate mocha, hold the whip. Hope these suggestions help, honestly thrive on ice coffee and have made my own vers of sweet cream. Going to try to make my own pumpkin sauce today :) great video Em! Honestly love the content you’re coming out with & how quickly each new video comes up since i follow your ig in real time.

[@timothyshannon7490]

I know this is about coffee, but Dairy Queen has a Pumpkin Pie Blizzard which is amazing and does taste like fall.

[@yourbestfriendjoshua]

Starbucks pumpkin ain't hitting right this year...

[@izzyh3741]

The pumpkin recipe has changed slightly (I work at Starbucks) and they say it’s not enough to change the taste but I definitely don’t love it the same as I used to. It’s not as ‘spicy’ if that makes sense 🧡

[@Wowzaman638]

I love the new PSL. It’s better warm though

[@xmargz777]

Go to Dunkin and get a hot signature PSL with oatmilk it’s the best

[@haileyfussell]

Highly highly recommend a dirty iced chai latte with pumpkin cold foam

[@kyliekoeppen4320]

I agree that the pumpkin tastes slightly off… anyway try iced chai with oat or coconut milk and add a pump of pumpkin sauce (2 pumps for a venti) and cinnamon on top

[@mollymoore7137]

You can get chai with espresso! I think it’s called dirty chai 🤔

[@karlacruz3149]

Im sorry but all I could focus on is your sweater. Where did you get it 😭

[@nothingpersonal222]

im tellin u. $1.79 large iced coffee from mcdonalds GET THE PUMPKIN add caramel drizzle literally 10/10

[@eatdranktravelrepeat]

If you ever come across Dutch Bros.. their Caramel Pumpkin Brulee is the best.. but don't believe there in Florida yet ..

[@michelegreco4441]

as a barista at starbucks, i noticed our pump sizes are also smaller this year so i think that may be it as well? i don’t know i’ve been avoiding pumpkin this year unless i make the foam for myself because that’s the only way i can tolerate it :/

[@americanprincess851]

Are they half pumps instead of full pumps?

[@alicebach4330]

FIRST💓💓💓

[@EmilyEnchanted]

HIIII ILY

[@Sarahlovely88]

Joffreys. never heard of that coffee place lol

[@magicallymelina]

In my experience, the drinks at Dunkin are more balanced in a medium or large!

[@SingerDancer13]

Okay but where is that first top from?

[@leahtripp4845]

where is your shirt from?????

[@mirandaalexis]

i havent had a pumpkin spice latte this year and im sad

[@lisnerymarquezayala9532]

Emily for 100 k subsribers you should do Emily in Paris Disneyland

[@marisa0307]

Have you ever tried Starbucks’ Caramel Apple Spice? It’s available year-round, but every sip gives you fall vibes!!! 🍁🤗

[@sarahkirk6744]

They took all of the chemicals out of the pumpkin sauce so yes it does taste different!

[@alliewithbooks]

I heard Starbucks is using real pumpkin in their pumpkin sauce now but I might be wrong 😅

[@americanprincess851]

I heard that it was added back in 2015 because a food blogger exposed that back in 2014. So Starbucks added pumpkin purée to the drink and that same food blogger also exposed that there was they artificial coloring in the PSL too and in 2015 the artificial coloring was removed from the drink. This year the pumpkin spice sauce is not as thick as it was last year. So that’s probably it does taste the same as it was last year. I heard that Starbucks changes the pumpkin spice sauce every year.

[@americanprincess851]

Pumpkin spice isn't pumpkin though, it's basically the spices you'd use in pumpkin pie
