Spring 2025 exclusive: Sneak peek at Starbucks’ secret menu items & their release dates revealed!

As the frost thaws and the first buds of spring begin to bloom, Starbucks is rolling out a fresh, vibrant menu to celebrate the season of renewal.

So, mark your calendars for Tuesday, March 4, because that's when these tantalizing treats will make their grand debut at Starbucks locations across the US.

Here’s an exclusive sneak peek at the secret sips and savory snacks that are about to become your new favorites.



Starbucks is renowned for its innovative twists on classic beverages, and this spring is no exception.

The Iced Cherry Chai is the latest creation to grace the menu, and it's poised to become a seasonal sensation. Imagine the traditional Iced Chai Latte you know and love, now elevated with a burst of cherry flavor.

This delightful concoction is a blend of black tea, infused with the warmth of cinnamon and clove spices, mixed with milk and ice, then crowned with a cherry cream cold foam and a sprinkle of cherry crunch topping.

"When you take a sip of Iced Cherry Chai, you immediately get a creamy texture, warm spices, and notes of cherry – and it all comes together in an approachable way," describes Billy Altieri, the lead beverage developer for Starbucks.

For those who missed the floral notes of lavender in their cup, Starbucks is bringing back a few fan-favorite lavender beverages. Each one offers a unique way to enjoy the soothing, aromatic qualities of this beloved herb:
  • Iced Lavender Cream Oatmilk Matcha: A smooth and creamy matcha paired with oatmilk, served over ice, and topped with a velvety lavender cream cold foam.
  • Iced Lavender Latte: Combining Starbucks Blonde Espresso with creamy oatmilk and ice, this latte is infused with the floral notes of lavender and is also available as a hot beverage.
  • Lavender Creme Frappuccino Blended Beverage: A sweet and subtle blend of lavender and vanilla syrup, mixed with milk and ice, and finished with a swirl of whipped cream.

Starbucks isn't just about drinks; their food menu is also getting a zesty update. The Jalapeño Chicken Pocket is the latest addition to the permanent menu, offering a bold flavor profile for those who like a little heat.

This savory pocket is stuffed with diced chicken, charred poblanos, green jalapeños, a blend of three-chile-pepper cheese, and jalapeño cream cheese, all wrapped in a toasted chile lavash flatbread.

And for a limited time, spice lovers can enjoy a free packet of Truff Original or Jalapeño Lime Hot Sauce with any qualifying breakfast or lunch item. Whether you're ordering in-store, at the drive-thru, or through the Starbucks app, don't miss out on this fiery promotion.
