It’s back! Although, I never knew it went away. Here’s our review from over a decade ago. (Spotted by Robbie at Walmart.)

Despite temperatures still close to the 90s in the Midwest, I’m still on the fall-flavored drinks train, and Starbucks has a new one: the Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte. This beverage, offered hot or cold, has Starbucks Blonde Espresso, oatmilk, pecan syrup, and a pecan crunch sugar topping. I tried this one as a hot latte.
I’m not even going to (pecan crunch) sugarcoat it here. This latte is AMAZING. I don’t think I’ve ever been more confident giving a drink a 10 out of 10 rating.
Right when I picked up the drink, I could smell the strong pecan flavor. It’s very strong and very nutty. The pecan syrup and the oatmilk are a perfect pair. Even though oatmilk doesn’t have nuts, my taste buds always pick up a bit of nuttiness. The latte is smooth and creamy, and the pecan syrup isn’t overly sweet. A tall has three pumps of syrup, and while I’m usually recommending to tone down the syrup pumps, I think you could actually add a little more here and still have a great drink.
The pecan crunch sugar topping is a nice addition and was still very present in look and flavor. Sometimes, I find the toppings can lose themselves in hot beverages, but I could detect this one with no problem. Overall, the flavor remained strong in the time it took me to finish it.
If you were to pair this with a treat, I’d go with the Cinnamon Coffee Cake. If I didn’t know this was pecan syrup, I’d guess it had some cinnamon since there’s a nice hint of spice.
This really is a perfect fall drink and a super nice alternative if you’re not a huge fan of the beloved PSL. Next time you see me, I’ll be hitting up my nearest Starbucks to try this one iced.
