The Starbucks pumpkin spice latte is back. Sept. 4 marked the first day the popular fall espresso beverage returns to Starbucks stores nationwide.

In the Mount Vernon area, the Starbucks shops at Beacon Mall, Mount Vernon Plaza, and in the Safeway locations at Mount Vernon Square and Engleside Plaza all started offering the pumpkin-inspired drink this week. According to the Starbucks website:

"The Pumpkin Spice Latte is fall’s favorite drink. Signature espresso blended with the unmistakable spices of fall – cinnamon, nutmeg and clove – smooth with steamed milk and topped with delectably sweetened whipped cream.

When it's time to fall back into fall, sweet and spicy pumpkin is sure to please."

You can check out the nutritional information for your favorite fall latte online. The lowest calorie option is a latte with non-fat milk and no whipped cream.
