How can you tell it's summer? It's not the Florida heat; Starbucks releases summer menu
Memorial Day is still a few days away but another unofficial start of summer is here: Starbucks has released its summer menu Tuesday, May 20. The release comes at a time when the chain is battling employee walkouts at about 100 stores over its new dress code for its baristas. The new dress code — which took effect May 12 — limits baristas to a black top, while their bottoms are required to be black, khaki or blue denim. Starbucks said it would provide employees with two free black T-shirts. Other recent changes at Starbucks included the removal of 13 'less popular' drinks from its menu in March bringing back free refills and a condiment bar for its dine-in customers. Here's what to know about the Starbucks summer menu. Starbucks will begin selling, for a limited time, its summer beverages today, May 20. Starbucks is introducing an iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso. The iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso is a "light, smooth and subtly sweet profile that pairs perfectly with oat milk and the horchata flavored syrup — which is a fusion of warm cinnamon, sweet vanilla and subtle nutty notes reminiscent of the rice milk that makes up a traditional horchata." The new Iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso is available throughout the summer while supplies last, Starbucks said. The new drink will join a "returning fan favorite," Summer-Berry Starbucks Refreshers. The drinks were first introduced in 2024 and feature a "sweet and summery blend of raspberry, blueberry and blackberry flavors shaken with ice and water, poured over raspberry flavored pearls." The Summer-Berry Refreshers can be ordered with lemonade in the Summer-Berry Lemonade Refresheror with creamy coconut milk in the Summer Skies Drink. The Summer-Berry Refreshers also are available for a limited time, while supplies last this summer. New to the Starbucks summer menu in 2025 is the Strawberries & Cream Cake Pop. It features strawberry cream cake mixed with buttercream, dipped in a chocolate icing and finished with a summer strawberry design. The cake pop will be available for a limited time, while supplies last. Looking for something summery to sip your favorite beverage? FARM Rio and Starbucks launched their summer collection of drinkware "reminiscent of the vibrant colors and prints of the popular Brazilian fashion label." The limited-edition collaboration is available for a limited time while supplies last and includes cold cups, water bottles, tumblers and key chains.

Starbucks returns seasonal fan favorites despite major menu cuts
Although it feels like spring has just begun and flowers are finally blossoming, many restaurants and fast-food chains are getting ahead of the game by teasing and unveiling their new summer menus for 2025. Seasonal menus are a popular tradition in the food and beverage market because businesses can test new products and experiment with seasonal ingredients. These menus let chain restaurants keep up with trends without investing too heavily in something that might not work in the long run.

This can potentially reach new audiences and develop brand loyalty, which can boost sales and increase traffic.

Image source: Getty Images Late last year, Starbucks (SBUX) CEO Brian Niccol announced his plan to reduce the Starbucks menu by 30% to simplify it and focus more on coffee as part of the company's turnaround plan. Because the coffee chain is known for its iconic food and beverage creations and wide range of customizations, many loyal Starbucks fans were shocked upon hearing the news, with some fearing that their best-loved menu items could be on the chopping block.

Although the company has discontinued many menu items and scaled back on customizations, one tradition it refuses to end is its popular seasonal menus. Last spring, Starbucks released the Summer-Berry Refresher, which featured a blend of raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry flavors shaken with ice and poured over a layer of popping raspberry-flavored pearls. To offer more ways to enjoy this refreshing drink, Starbucks provided the option to turn it into a lemonade or add coconut milk for a more creamy beverage called the Summer Skies Drink. Because this innovative beverage has become a fan favorite, Starbucks is bringing it back, along with its customizable options, so customers can enjoy it all summer long. If you are more of a coffee drinker, Starbucks is launching a new Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso. This new beverage is inspired by the Latin American drink horchata, which is either rice-, nut-, or coconut-based, mixed with cinnamon, and sometimes - depending on the region -dairy. However, this new drink is Starbucks' own version, since it mixes the classic Shake Espresso beverage with oatmilk and a secret new horchata syrup. The coffee chain previously launched a horchata-inspired beverage, releasing the Horchata Almondmilk Frappuccino in 2017. Still, it was only a limited-edition beverage and was eventually discontinued, never to be seen again.

Nevertheless, it is still satisfying guests' appetites with the new Strawberries & Cream Cake Pop, which consists of a strawberry cake base, a buttercream center, and a red chocolate coating. No official date has yet been given for the release of the summer menu, but it is set to launch sometime in May. Last year, the Starbucks summer menu began on May 7, so if the pattern continues, these items could be available at all locations nationwide in only a few days.
