Klatch Coffee got a big jump on Starbucks with its 2026 fall menu.
The Rancho Cucamonga-based roastery launched its “Klatch Patch” menu in its cafes over the weekend, more than three weeks ahead of Starbucks. Other chains are following closely behind.
Klatch’s menu includes Whipped Pumpkin, an espresso drink made with real pumpkin, pumpkin foam and milk.
Klatch’s Pumpkin Latte is made with pumpkin sauce, not syrup, according to representatives. It can be ordered iced, hot or blended.
Pumpkin Chai is also available iced or hot.
Select standalone locations are also serving an ABC Panini, made with apple butter, bacon and cheddar cheese.
Klatch also has a “Coffee Curious” menu that usually changes monthly. Its new limited-time offer is Second Summer, a flat white made with lemon, ginger, vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon and cardamom.
Since 2024, Klatch Coffee has been expanding rapidly through in-store cafes in Sprouts Farmers Market. Klatch made its San Diego County debut in early July in Carlsbad. Other new locations include El Cajon, Laguna Niguel in Orange County and Eagle Rock in Los Angeles County. klatchcoffee.com
La Colombe is also getting out of the gate early, bringing back its Pumpkin Spice Draft Latte in its cafes beginning Tuesday, Aug. 4. The brand has four cafes in the Greater Los Angeles area and one in San Diego, and canned Pumpkin Spice Draft will also be available in supermarkets, including Target, according to representatives. lacolombe.com
Loyalty members can get pumpkin beverages at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf beginning Wednesday, Aug. 5. Choices include Pumpkin Iced Latte with Cream Cap, Pumpkin Dry Iced Americano and Pumpkin Extreme Ice Blended Drink, made with pumpkin spice, vanilla and non-fat milk. coffeebean.com

Starbucks will bring back its pumpkin spice lineup on Aug. 25, including a new Pumpkin Cream Shaken Espresso, according to a news release. It’s been 23 years since the Seattle-based coffee giant launched its Pumpkin Spice Latte and created a global sensation. It obtained a trademark for the initials PSL in 2015.
Bigger news may be the return of its Unicorn Frappuccino for one weekend only beginning Aug. 15. The mango-flavored glitter-topped beverage was a viral hit when it was introduced in 2017. starbucks.com
