Starbucks’ pumpkin everything

Samantha Ratliff, Hi-Times Staff Writer

At this very moment I’m in Starbucks. What am I doing there? Well, I’ll tell you. I’m here checking out Starbucks’ all-new seasonal treats and drinks. They have many to choose from, but the flavors are mostly pumpkin. Don’t stop reading because you saw the word pumpkin. I don’t usually like pumpkins or anything related to pumpkins, but when I tasted some of these delicious treats I changed my mind completely. Just keep reading for even more information.

Pumpkin Spice Latte

The pumpkin spice latte is hot and steamy. The pumpkin spice latte has pumpkin pie spices and is topped with whipped cream. I’m not really a pumpkin person, but if pumpkin is your thing then you’ll really enjoy it. I didn’t really like it though. So, I’m rating this two pumpkins.

Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino

I’m giving this five pumpkins because it was excellent. Really, you can’t even taste the pumpkin. It basically just tastes like a normal frappuccino that’s topped with whipped cream and cinnamon. It tastes even better when paired with the pumpkin cream cheese muffin.

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin

I’m sure you’ve heard of blueberry muffins and banana nut muffins and chocolate muffins, but never a pumpkin cream cheese muffin. It’s a muffin sprinkled with chopped caramelized pumpkin seeds and filled with cream cheese. I’m a big fan of cream cheese, so I was all for this and it was great. I rate this five pumpkins.

Pumpkin Scone

The pumpkin scone is shaped like a triangle and dipped in white icing and drizzled with pumpkin icing. It’s really sweet and pumpkin flavored. I kind of liked it, but I kind of didn’t like it. I’m rating it three pumpkins.

Pumpkin Spice Bread

Have you ever heard of banana bread? Well, now Starbucks has the all-new pumpkin spice bread. It’s a slice of bread flavored like a pumpkin and topped with crushed pumpkin seeds. In my opinion, it tastes the same as any other flavored bread. I rate it three pumpkins.

Pumpkin Sugar Cookies

The pumpkin sugar cookie is not what it seems. It’s actually a lemon-spiced cookie but shaped like a pumpkin. I know, right? Pretty sneaky. It tastes nothing like a pumpkin. I really like it, so I’m rating it four pumpkins.
