McDonald’s has swapped iconic fall flavors in its seasonal coffee lineup this year, leaving pumpkin spice off the menu for the first time in a decade.
The company confirmed to USA TODAY its fall McCafé coffee lineup at participating locations will feature caramel apple instead of pumpkin spice.
“We’re always exploring new ways to give fans seasonal flavors to enjoy,” McDonalds said in a statement to USA TODAY. “We chose Caramel Apple Pie because it offers a fresh take on the familiar tastes of fall — and one we think fans will fall in love with.”
McDonald’s first introduced pumpkin spice to its seasonal coffee offerings in 2016.
The flavor has become nearly ubiquitous in the fall over the past two decades, particularly since Starbucks introduced the Pumpkin Spice Latte in 2003. The flavor has since gone on to be imbued in bagels, over the counter medicines and ice cream.
Here is what the fall menu for McDonald’s McCafé looks like.

McDonald’s McCafé seasonal menu for the fall includes:
- Caramel Apple Pie Frappe
- Hot Caramel Apple Pie Latte
- Iced Caramel Apple Pie Latte
- Caramel Apple Pie Iced Coffee
The company called the drinks a “seasonal blend (that) mixes notes of apple and caramel flavoring with McDonald’s bold blend coffee, topped with salted caramel flavored whipped cream and bits of apple pie crumble” in its statement.
