Starbucks offers a customizable option for plant-based pumpkin drink lovers. By swapping out regular cold foam for nondairy vanilla sweet cream cold foam, you can enjoy a vegan-friendly cold brew topped with pumpkin spice seasoning—delivering all the fall flavors without compromising your dietary preferences.
Starbucks Introduces Customizable Vegan Pumpkin Cold Foam, Offering Plant-Based Alternatives for Fall Favorites
As the popularity of nut milk and plant-based options has surged recently, Starbucks has quickly adapted. According to Tasting Table, the coffee giant introduced oat milk to its menu in 2021 and followed up with non-dairy versions of its cold foams in the summer of 2024. While a vegan version of the iconic Pumpkin Spice Latte has yet to appear, there are still ways to enjoy a plant-based pumpkin-flavored drink, such as a customizable pumpkin cold foam option.
Starbucks offers a Cold Brew with Nondairy Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam topped with pumpkin spice seasoning for those looking to keep their drink vegan. The pumpkin topping is entirely plant-based, made from cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. The non-dairy vanilla sweet cream used in the cold foam is crafted from a blend of soy and oat milk, and the rest of the ingredients—brewed coffee and vanilla syrup—are also vegan. However, the regular Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew uses milk in its vanilla sweet cream, so this plant-based alternative is excellent.
It's important to note that while you might be tempted to add pumpkin spice sauce to your foam, it contains condensed skim milk, meaning it isn't vegan-friendly. This is why the Pumpkin Spice Latte remains non-vegan.
The Nondairy Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam can be used in various drinks. You can top iced coffee, iced Americano, iced espresso, or nitro cold brew with it, or even add it to an Iced Shaken Espresso, Iced Latte, or Iced Flat White—just be sure to replace the milk with one of Starbucks' many plant-based alternatives, such as almond, coconut, oat, or soy milk.
Starbucks Offers Vegan-Friendly Fall Drink Customizations with Plant-Based Syrups and Pumpkin Flavors
Customization doesn’t stop there. Starbucks' mocha sauce is vegan, making it easy to create a chocolate-pumpkin combination by adding a few pumps to your drink. However, avoid the white mocha sauce, which contains dairy. To enhance your fall drink further, you can opt for vegan syrups like caramel, vanilla, hazelnut, toffee nut, or cinnamon dolce. While the cinnamon dolce topping contains butter, you can use cinnamon powder for a vegan-friendly alternative that still brings out the seasonal flavors.
By experimenting with these options, you can enjoy a rich, fully plant-based, fall-inspired beverage. This proves that going vegan doesn’t mean sacrificing flavor at Starbucks.
