This one leans more into pumpkin pie filling than spice. At first sip, you get the strong cold brew bitterness with a creamy pumpkin topping that softens it. Once stirred, it balances out, but the coffee always stays the main event. The pumpkin cream itself is smooth and lightly sweet — not overpowering — but…
The Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks is the poster child of fall, but depending on how you order it, the vibe shifts. The hot version has a stronger spice note right away — cinnamon and nutmeg are up front, while the pumpkin itself is subtle. It’s cozy and warm, but not as pumpkin-heavy as the…
From the first sip, this latte hits with creamy pecan and a light touch of coffee — the pecan flavor lingers long after, in a way that feels indulgent rather than overwhelming. The nutty profile is the star here, with coffee playing more of a background role. The topping adds flavor but not much crunch,…
The Pecan Oatmilk Cortado is bold from the very first sip — strong espresso front and center, with the pecan showing up more as an aftertaste that lingers. It isn’t sweet at all, leaning rich and nutty instead of dessert-like. For a cortado, it’s impressively smooth, but still sharp the way a proper espresso drink…
If you’re expecting pumpkin pie in a cup, this isn’t it. The Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino leans much more toward spiced coffee than anything pumpkin-heavy, which actually makes it a surprisingly good morning option if you want to feel seasonal without overloading on sugar. The pumpkin itself is faint — almost a background note — while the blend…
This week’s Crumbl lineup feels like a bit of a mixed bag — some strong hits that shine for their creativity and balance, and a couple that don’t quite live up to their potential. It’s a week that offers something for everyone, but not every cookie is going to win you over. Standout Winners The…

Few desserts are more comforting than a campfire s’more. Crumbl’s S’mores Skillet manages to capture that feeling remarkably well. First Impressions & Presentation The cookie base looks rustic and inviting, studded with graham cracker crumbs and topped with a gooey marshmallow and chunk of chocolate. It looks less polished than some of Crumbl’s decorated cookies,…
Fruit-flavored cookies can be risky — too often they lean artificial or end up tasting flat. The Raspberry Cupcake is the opposite: bold, fruity, and full of life. First Impressions & Presentation This cookie is a stunner. Pale pink frosting swirled high on top of a vanilla base, with a soft, inviting look. It screams…
When Crumbl decides to hybridize desserts, you never know what you’re going to get — sometimes it’s genius, sometimes it’s a little over the top. The Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake lands somewhere in between, leaning heavily toward cheesecake with just enough cinnamon roll essence to make it recognizable. First Impressions & Presentation At first glance, it’s…
