Apple lovers, rejoice! It’s finally your time to shine. While Starbucks originally announced that its Apple Crisp flavor would return to stores nationwide on October 14, overwhelming customer excitement has moved up the release—the popular drink will now be back on October 9.
The exciting original announcement came via Instagram where Starbucks captioned a September 18 Instagram post featuring a person bobbing for apples, teasing the seasonal treat’s return. “You all for the last month,” the cheeky caption read.
According to Starbucks, the fan-favorite Starbucks Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso combines Starbucks Blonde Espresso with notes of apple, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Shaken together and topped with oat milk, it delivers a perfectly balanced fall-inspired sip that’s full of seasonal flavor.
In a statement, Starbucks beverage developer Billy Altieri spoke about how the flavor is meant to make you feel. “The warm, gooey taste of apple crisp melds with the light roast flavors of Starbucks Blonde Espresso and creamy oatmilk to create a chilled yet cozy cup of coffee that evokes the comfort of autumn.”

Additionally this year, Starbucks is offering the Apple Crisp Cold Foam and a new Apple Crisp Protein Cold Foam, available for a limited time while supplies last.
The Apple Crisp Cold Foam—or the new protein version (which adds 15 grams of protein per the grande size) can be layered onto any cold beverage, including the Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, for an extra boost of flavor.
Starbucks officially launched its Protein Cold Foam and Protein Lattes on September 29 nationwide in the U.S. and Canada. The protein-packed foam comes in a variety of fan favorite flavors including banana, vanilla, sugar-free vanilla, chocolate, matcha, salted caramel, brown sugar, and seasonal options like pumpkin and pecan.
