Did you know that in a total of forty countries there are more than 20,500 Starbucks stores? Starbucks is known to be the largest coffee retailer in the world, and the brand is so well known that they don’t even have to put the name “Starbucks” on their cups.

When Starbucks was founded in 1971, founders Gordon Bowker, Jerry Baldwin, and Zev Siegel brainstormed new ways to keep Starbucks trending across the nation. A little over a decade ago, the idea of making a Starbucks fall menu was born.

The fall menu has changed a little each year ever since it was created in 2003. The menu normally comes out after the start of the school year, and that was the case this year as well. 

This year, the fall menu came out Aug. 27, which is super early. August is considered a “summer-month,” but since Starbucks loves fall (and the money that comes with the exciting menu), they extended the shortest season of the year by nearly a month by getting the menu out early. Some might say that’s unbe-leaf-able. 

Even though the menu changes to keep customers interested, Starbucks has some menu items that are here to stay and that includes:
