Who else gets irrationally addicted to those little cups of heaven known as pumpkin spice lattes?? It can't be just me...
You'd think it was christmas, my birthday and my wedding day all wrapped into one when I saw the sign last weekend! SO VERY EXCITED!!!!!
Me!!!
I've been living out of the States for the last 3 years, and every fall when people start raving over them on facebook, I get so so so sad. But this year? Yippee!!! I can have as many as I want (calories be damned!)
:D
Just waiting for the weather to dip below 90, haha...
OMG I AM SOOOOO EXCITED!!! I usually hate any kind of flavored coffee drinks but this one is to die for! Thank god the wedding will be over so I can eat all the good things that I miss.
I have never had it!! I was addicted to the Cinnamon Dolce latte for tha last two years lol but I think I will give the pumpkin a try!
Ah yes, those delicious drinks that are PACKED with fat and calories!!!
I don't drink those even though they are crazy delicious. I wish they offered a sugar free version.
A Grande has 380 calories and 13 grams of fat, 51 grams of carbs, and 49 grams of sugar. If you take out the whip cream and change it to non-fat milk, you still are left with 260 calories, 50 grams of carbs, and 48 grams of sugar.
For comparison, a Grande Non-Fat Plain Latte (no flavor) with no Whip Cream is only 130 calories, 0 grams of fat, 19 grams of carbs, and 18 grams of sugar.
This is the time of year that I get sad that I don't drink coffee!
awww the nonfat pumpkin latte is still deeeelish!
Have any of you ever tried their pumpkin cream cheese muffin??!?! It's like an orgasm in my mouth! :]
@Mrs. Loub... aww... way to ruin the fun! 
A few times a 'season', I splurge so, ladies, don't feel too bad about it!
For the dieters -- order a "short" (not listed on the SB menu but is standard).
For the non-dieters, I was at a Ghiradelli chocolate store this weekend. They had these new milk chocolate squares that were filled with pumpkin spice caramel. YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
I'm not a pumpkin fan, but I am LOVING the Toffee Mocha Frappuccinos!
@JeniRae: I tell myself the same thing when I find myself in line at Starbucks during this season dying for one. Then, I choose the less calorie ridden drink and feel better.
To me, I would rather have a bic cupcake than spend my calories on a drink.
I love all things pumpkin. There is a reason autumn is the best season.
Anyone else have a weakness for Pumpkin Ale too?
My husband and I split one so that we feel better about the calorie intake (oh and no whip)...we only treat ourselves every once in a while. Hold hands, walk around the outdoor mall and share our pumpkin latte.
Go. Right now. I'm not even kidding you. Wherever you are, whatever you're doing DROP EVERYTHING NOW AND RUN TO THE NEAREST STARBUCKS!
You will not regret it.
@FutureMrsSpinewiz: I hear those are good but I am always scared to try new ones!
LOVE IT!!
I love Starbucks' version, but we have a local cafe that makes the worlds best pumpkin spice latte :)
Why you gotta bring the party down?
(As an aside, I normally only drink sugar free, non-fat drinks but this one I make an exception for, it's just THAT GOOD. Only about once a week, though.)
@lezlers: lmao dam it..you convinced me! Let it be know I have not had a starbucks drink (other than a passionfruit lemonade) in the past 8 months...today is the day!
@JennyChicago: I was a little nervous too, so I only got a Tall the first time. OMG. SO GOOD. If you like the standard Mocha Frap and toffee seperately, you will like it. The toffee taste isn't overwhelming, but it is there.
FI said the hot Toffee Mocha Latte (or whatever it is - I don't do hot coffee drinks, 'cause I'm weird. lol) was good, too.
I love the pumpkin spice latte! A few of the starbucks around me carry harney and sons teas and they have an amazing cinnamon tea and I get it in a tea latte with just one pump of the sugar and it is a great alternative! I have to limit myself otherwise I'd get the pumpkin latte all the time ;)
I work at Starbucks! I think it's so funny when people ask me in the middle of the year if we have pumpkin spice and I love when everyone comes in the day it comes back and they act like it's Christmas or aomething.
If you haven't tried the salted caramel hot chocolate though it is delicious!!
I wish they had pumpkin spice syrup in sugar free so you could get a "skinny" version. Oh well...
@kate169:I get headaches if I don't have coffee! But yeah I love me some PS lattes! Gotta wait for the weather to cool down a bit first...
I got myself one on the way to work this morning! Favorite time of year, I thought they started this in October, has it always started this early? Either way, I'll be getting back to the gym just because of the guilt from these delicious things!
LOVE LOVE LOVE psl's!
i didnt see the sign at starbucks yesterday until after id order my usual nf carm machiatto upside down!
I have to get at least one a season. I wish I could drink them everyday but they are just too bad for me.
Starbucks got rid of my very favorite drink of all time -- Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate! They still have Signature Hot Chocolate, and you can ask for it with caramel drizzle, but it's just not the same without the sea salt. I have been tempted to bring my own... *looks shifty*
I luuurve these! Had my first one of the season this AM!
@daydreamwanderer: I love pumpkin ale, too! Also love pumpkin pie, pumpkin scented candles, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin carving....
Have I mentioned Fall is my favorite? 
Pumpkin spice lattes are my CRACK. I sadly have not had one yet, but I plan on going full force into my local Starbucks tomorrow and stocking up. [2 in one day? not unheard of for me!]
I love this time of year! Each morning when I enter the Starbucks near me there are two pumpkin scones waiting. :) I love Starbucks!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE pumpkin spice lattes! I get a tall, soy, double shot and 1 pump of syrup - only 120 cals for you dieters....
Our barista also turned me on to adding a pump of white mocha to it and it's seriously heaven in my mouth.
I LOVE FALL!
Yesyesyesyesyes!!!!! My habit got so out of hand that I have borrowed my mother's latte maker (ok...so I'm never going to give it back) bought pumpkin flavored syrup and now make my own...so delicious, cheap, and I can make it with non fat milk and sugar free syrup sooo I feel a tad bit better 
Yay! They're here! I love love love these lattes, but thought they didnt come out until October... Yum! I am going to have to pick one up tomorrow!
Also- the caramel apple cider at Starbucks is another fall fave :)
@arenyth: I thought they started a little later too and I've been working there for four years! But I think that last year they started in Aug too. I'm in love with the pumpkin cream cheese muffins though. YUM!
i love those things! i'm so sad i'm well and truly out of the country... mmmm pumpkin spice lattes.... i'll just stare at the picture for a little while.
they should totally come out with scratch and sniff advertising for it...
I've never had one before, and I think I've been to Starbucks like once many, many years ago. But after reading all these comments, I'm definitely making a trip for one of these pumpkin things. Sounds delicious, and what a great way to welcome the arrival of fall. Thanks for the info, ladies!
