- Replies 0
Summer is nearly here, and you know what that means: longer days, warmer nights, and—if you’re a Starbucks fan—an exciting new menu to tempt your taste buds!
Whether you’re a loyal latte lover or just looking for a cool treat to beat the heat, Starbucks’ 2025 summer menu is bursting with fresh flavors, creative twists, and a few returning favorites that are sure to make your next coffee run feel like a mini vacation.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s brewing (and baking!) at your local Starbucks this summer, plus a few fun facts and tips to help you make the most of the season.
A Sip of Summer
First up, Starbucks is shaking things up—literally—with the brand-new Iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso.
If you’ve never tried horchata, you’re in for a treat. This traditional drink, beloved in Latin American and Spanish cultures, is usually made with rice milk, cinnamon, and vanilla.
Starbucks’ version blends their smooth Blonde Espresso with creamy oatmilk and a horchata-inspired syrup, delivering a sweet, spiced, and slightly nutty flavor that’s both refreshing and comforting.
Why oatmilk? Non-dairy milks have been surging in popularity, and oatmilk’s creamy texture makes it a perfect partner for espresso. Plus, it’s a great option for anyone looking to cut back on dairy without sacrificing taste.

Back by popular demand, the Summer-Berry Starbucks Refreshers are making a splash for the second year in a row.
These drinks are a celebration of all things berry, featuring a blend of raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry flavors, shaken with ice and water, and poured over fun, raspberry-flavored pearls.
The pearls add a playful, chewy texture—think of them as a nod to bubble tea, but with a Starbucks twist.
Want to mix it up? You can order your Summer-Berry Refresher with lemonade for a tangy kick (the Summer-Berry Lemonade Refresher) or with coconut milk for a creamy, dreamy treat (the Summer Skies Drink). Both options are perfect for sipping on a sunny patio or while catching up with friends.

A Sweet Surprise
No Starbucks menu update would be complete without a new treat for your sweet tooth. This summer, say hello to the Strawberries & Cream Cake Pop.
Imagine strawberry cream cake blended with rich buttercream, dipped in a chocolatey coating, and decorated with a cheerful strawberry design. It’s the perfect little indulgence to pair with your favorite drink—or to share with a grandchild on a special outing.

Starbucks isn’t just serving up new flavors—they’re also adding a splash of color to your summer with a limited-edition collection of drinkware in partnership with Farm Rio, the vibrant Brazilian fashion label.
Expect bold prints, tropical hues, and playful accessories like cold cups and keychains. These items are only available while supplies last, so if you see something you love, don’t wait!
