A fan-favorite beverage is making a comeback to Starbucks this season — and it’s full of fall flavors.

The iced apple crisp oat milk shaken espresso can be ordered nationwide starting Oct. 9 for a limited time, the coffeehouse chain said in a news release.

It’s made with blonde espresso, “notes of apple, cinnamon and brown sugar,” and topped with oat milk.

That’s not the only item returning.

Customers will also be able to add apple crisp cold foam to their drinks or try the new apple crisp protein cold foam.

The protein foam has 15 grams of protein “per grande beverage.”
