Meet The Starbucks Summer Menu For 2025

- NEW! Strawberries & Cream Cake Pop

NEW! Iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso
Yummm. Inspired by horchata, this new shaken espresso flavor from Starbucks has notes of cinnamon and vanilla, both of which pair really well for a light and refreshing sip – much needed in the summer! Per Starbucks, it's crafted with an horchata syrup that combines the flavors of warm cinnamon, sweet vanilla, and subtle nutty notes to channel the rice milk traditionally used in horchata.

Summer-Berry Refreshers
That's right: Starbucks' boba drinks are officially back! The chain's blue-tinted Summer-Berry Refreshers come with a serving of raspberry-flavored popping boba to elicit summertime fun. The boba pearls were very divisive among baristas and customers when they first hit menus in 2024.
Last year, this lineup of Refreshers came in three variations: the Summer-Berry Refresher, the Summer-Berry Lemonade Refresher, and the Summer Skies Drink (mixed with coconut milk), all of which are back on the summer menu for 2025! After a taste test from last year's launch, the Summer Skies Drink ended up being our favorite.

NEW! Strawberries & Cream Cake Pop
Lastly, Starbucks has a brand-new cake pop flavor for summertime: Strawberries & Cream! Some Starbucks employees on Reddit noted that it'll include a strawberry cake base with buttercream, which sounds so yummy. This new bite will join the existing cake pop trio of Birthday Cake, Chocolate, and Cookies & Cream.
