So: How long does Starbucks have PSL? Roughly three to four months, from late August to late November or early December. But it’s a slippery timeline, so don’t blink. Or you’ll miss it like I miss that one scarf I left at a friend’s house in 2019.
My advice? Start sipping early. Savor it. Take photos. Drink one in the rain. Drink one while wearing a sweater that’s too warm for the weather. Because when it’s gone, it’s gone—until next August, when the pumpkin cycle begins again.
Pro tip: If you see a sign saying “Pumpkin Spice Latte available for a limited time,” don’t wait. Go now. Embrace the pumpkin. Your future self (and your taste buds) will thank you.
Now go forth, order your PSL, and live your best basic life. I’ll be right there with you, probably in line behind you.
