It is officially fall, which means lots of oversized sweaters and warm drinks. Specifically, the famous Pumpkin Spiced Latte from Starbucks. There are plenty of raving reviews of the drink; many teens are the most excited about fall because of this drink. While this is true, I’m not sure it’s should be worked up as it really is.

I have had the drink plenty of times, but just recently I noticed something. I noticed that the cost for the actual drink is not nearly as good as the drink itself. You usually pay four to five dollars just for a small latte that you can probably make at home. Not only that, but the drink always comes out scorching hot, and you have to wait a while to fully drink it while keeping your tongue and throat safe.

The drink itself is okay. It has a very cinnamon taste to it, but I can never really pinpoint any pumpkin in the drink. I also can hardly ever taste the actual coffee because of all the sugary syrup they fill it up with. While it does leave you feeling warm inside, I found the drink far too sweet for anyone to ever drink the whole cup.

All in all, this famous fall drink from Starbucks is not a favorite. It could use some changes, but I would rather just make a latte on my own, and make it how I like it. Of course, some people don’t have time to go through the process of making this special drink. The Pumpkin Spiced Latte is a popular drink for sure, but it definitely didn’t meet my expectations.
