Listen up, witches, it's that time of year.

Starbucks' most popular seasonal drink, the pumpkin spice latte (aka, the PSL!), is coming back, y'all. The return of the pumpkin-and-cinnamon-flavored beverage that warms the hearts of millions of Americans every year means summer is officially over, and fall has finally begun. #SorryNotSorry, pumpkin spice haters and summer lovers.

For those who are wondering when the pumpkin spice latte will come out, get your flannels and your favorite pair of Ugg boots out of storage, because the PSL is about to take over the entirety of your Instagram feed.

When does the PSL come out at Starbucks this year?

With summer coming to an end, our #basic hearts can't help but search for what we've been missing for almost a year.

Fortunately, fans of the pumpkin-spiced sweetness don't have to wait much longer for the widely beloved drink — which many consumers describe as fall in a cup — because the PSL and the pumpkin spice cold brew coffee will reportedly launch in stores on Thursday, Aug. 24, 2023.

Instagram foodie @markie_devo reported the fall menu news on his Instagram page, also noting that Starbucks will be releasing a few new autumnal items: Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso and Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte. Yum!

That's right, the billion-dollar coffee company is once again bringing back the iconic autumnal drink at the end of August. And we don't know about you, but we certainly can't wait to taste the pumpkin goodness!

The upcoming Starbucks fall menu will bring back plenty of classics, such as the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew and the Apple Crisp Macchiato, now made with Oatmilk and Starbucks Blonde Espresso. In 2022, this marked the first nondairy fall beverage for the company.

Other items on the fall menu will include the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin, the Owl Cake Pop (which looks absolutely adorable, by the way), and one new food item, a Baked Apple Croissant (available in warming stores only).

Starbucks has a pumpkin spice coffee creamer, so you can skip the PSL line.

Starbucks has enabled all of us to satisfy our PSL cravings with Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte creamer, which was released in August 2018. We expect the seasonal product be sold soon at most grocery stores across the country.

In 2021, Starbucks released these at-home seasonal products.

Our beloved Starbies has also given #basic folks what they want in the comfort of their homes: an entire seasonal line of pumpkin-inspired items. Based on 2021's lineup (pumpkin spice K-Cups, instant lattes, ground coffee, pumpkin spice latte almond and oat milk coffee creamer, pumpkin spice cold brew concentrate, and more), there will surely be so many ways to satisfy our basic, fall-loving taste buds this year as well.

Social media is always hype about the pumpkin spice latte's return.

At last, Starbucks has given the people what they've been asking for, so in the spirit of basic betches, we rounded up some of the greatest tweets surrounding the bougie beverage. Check them out below!

If you're a die-hard PSL fan, you don't just stop at the latte. You really can tell which fans are genuine, as everything MUST be pumpkin flavored: 

Bitches are just waiting for it to be October for the damn pumpkin spice latte @ Starbucks.

White Claw is the Pumpkin Spice Latte of the summer. Change my mind.

However, not everyone is excited for the autumnal festivities to begin. Case in point:

I hate fall bc all the basic white girls make it hell for the rest of us
