As the fall season approaches, students share their opinions on their fall drink favorites and if they prefer Starbucks or Dunkin. Students debate over flavors like pecan, pumpkin, and apple cider, but pumpkin is a definite favorite. While there are pros and cons to both drinking places, some students have a definitive favorite.
“I like the Pumpkin chai from Starbucks because it tastes good and reminds me of fall and it only comes around for about a month every year, so it makes it more special,” says Junior Valentina Palisi.
The Pumpkin chai seems to be a favorite for many students this fall season. However, there is a divide between picking Dunkin or Starbucks.
“I prefer Dunkin over Starbucks because it is cheaper and closer to the school so I can get it every single morning easily,” comments Sophomore Zahra Chopra.
Hearing different fall drink opinions from others helps inspire one’s next drink order. Things like prices, larger menus, and more convenient locations can help persuade someone’s preference.
This fall season is about flavors that make someone feel comforted and at home; flavors like cinnamon, apple, maple, pumpkin, and more. Some recommended drinks are pumpkin spice latte, apple cider, chai latte, maple latte, etc.
Students wait all year to get fall drinks that dropped August 26 for Starbucks and August 20 for Dunkin. Some must try’s from Starbucks include, Pumpkin Spice Latte, Pumpkin Creme Cold Brew, Iced Apple Crisp Shaken Espresso, Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte, or the bakery items that include, Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin or the Baked Apple Croissant.
If someone prefers Dunkin, they also have many different options to choose from. There are drinks like the Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte, Cereal N’ Milk Latte, Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, and the Pumpkin Chai Latte. There are also different food and bakery items, such as the Pumpkin Cake Donut and Munchkins, Iced Pumpkin Loaf, and Maple Sugar Bacon.
These menu options have become just as iconic as picking apples and sweater weather, giving an excuse to go pick up a drink for the day.
There are so many options and flavors based on different preferences, consider trying some of these drink and food recommendations.
No matter which side is preferred, one thing is clear that fall just would not be the same without a drink in hand.
