PSL Nutrition & Customization
A Grande Pumpkin Spice Latte made with 2% milk and whipped cream contains 390 calories, 14g fat, 50g carbs, and 14g protein. Skip the whipped cream and it drops to about 320 calories; swap to oatmilk without whip for roughly 280 calories. If you want the fall flavor with less sugar, the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew is the lighter pick — just cold brew topped with pumpkin cream cold foam.
Fall Menu Prices Vary by Location
Starbucks menu prices vary by location — urban stores and airports charge more. Estimated 2026 prices for a Grande PSL by market: New York City $7.00, Los Angeles $6.75, Chicago $6.40, Atlanta $6.15, Houston $6.00, and Columbus $5.90. Starbucks menu prices are up about 4.2% versus 2025, so expect your local store to land somewhere near these ranges.
