The Issue

As an ardent fan of both Starbucks and the traditional flavors of fall, nothing made my autumn mornings more perfect than enjoying an Apple Crisp Macchiato from Starbucks. However, to my disappointment, Starbucks decided to replace this cherished autumnal flavor with a "fall" drink featuring banana bread — a surprising choice given that banana isn't really a seasonal fall flavor. It's reminiscent of the sweetness of summer, not the comforting, spiced warmth of fall that apple, cinnamon, and nutmeg naturally evoke.

Apple crisp flavors have long been synonymous with the fall season, capturing the essence of orchard-fresh, crisp apples, and those nostalgic, cinnamon-laden aromas that remind us of warm, cozy gatherings. The removal of this beloved flavor disrupts a treasured tradition for many Starbucks fans who look forward to the seasonal menu change as the leaves start to turn.

Peering at search trends and social media discussions, it's clear that I am not alone in this sentiment. Thousands echo the desire to have this drink return, with fans expressing dismay and nostalgic wishes for the beloved apple flavor. The Apple Crisp Macchiato wasn’t just a beverage; it was a seasonal experience, something to savor in sync with nature's changing tapestry. In contrast, banana bread is delicious in its own right but lacks the specific, rich association with autumn.

Starbucks, being the innovative company it is, always aims to keep its customers both satisfied and excited for what's next. Reintroducing the Apple Crisp flavor will not only celebrate the rich tapestry of traditional fall flavors but also bring back those cherished seasonal experiences that create community and joy among Starbucks patrons.

We are reaching out as passionate customers and dedicated seasonal connoisseurs to urge Starbucks to bring back the Apple Crisp Macchiato to their 2026 Fall menu. Let's celebrate the true spirit of fall with the flavors that define this beautiful season.

Sign this petition to let Starbucks know that a return to true fall flavors is not just desired, but necessary!
