Starbucks’ Summer 2025 Menu Is All About Berries

Excited about summer refreshers? We heard Starbucks is about to pop some strawberries with a summer menu sneak peek! đź‘€

It’s getting warmer nowadays, so we don’t actually blame you for looking for refreshers. That’s an indication that summer is coming, and so are the seasonal menus from your favorite fast food stops. One popular chain to drop their summer menu is Starbucks, and you know what? We heard we’re getting a whole lot of strawberries in line for the season!

First, Starbucks is returning their Summer Berry Refreshers, so this will probably be the number 1 on your list. Since berries are currently in season, Starbucks is taking advantage of it by bringing fans a cooler that tastes just like a sweet summer blend. There are raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry flavors that are mixed with water, lemonade, and coconut milk. Of course, they’re shaken with ice, and these beverages are enjoyed with Raspberry Flavored Pearls. 

But if you’re looking for a dose of summer caffeine, then you might want to grab an Iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso. It features Starbucks Blonde Espresso, which is combined with their new Horchata syrup. The syrup delivers flavors of cinnamon, vanilla, and rice that are all shaken together with ice as the beverages are topped with oat milk. It’s the perfect pick-me-up drink for anyone looking for a change from their usual coffee. 

Of course, there’s a pastry that you can pair with the drinks! Since Starbucks is sticking around its strawberry theme, expect another berry surprise. Say hello to the Strawberries & Cream Cake Pop, which features a Strawberry Cream that is mixed with buttercream and dipped in chocolate icing. The cake pop is even made to resemble an actual strawberry! 

Feeling excited? Good news as the summer menu is speculated to drop by May 20, 2025. There’s at least a month before you can enjoy some berrylicious treats from Starbucks! Sadly, the streets say that there won’t be any Part 2 of the Starbucks menu, but who knows? Maybe Starbucks is just blending something new for fans to try. Will you be trying these berry treats?

What’s New at Starbucks? 

As much as we’re excited about Starbucks’ 2025 summer menu drops, don’t forget that the spring menu is still available. Get them while they’re still brewing (or baking) at a Starbucks near you.

Early last month, Starbucks dropped loads of new spring seasonal items. You might want to check them out just in case you’ve missed some treats. Remember, they’re only in here for a whole season unless Starbucks retains them.

For spring, Starbucks surprised fans with an Iced Chai Latte twist with the Iced Cherry Chai. It features a black tea base that’s been infused with clove, cinnamon, and other warm spices. There’s also milk and ice to tame the presence of black tea. For the unique touch, the drink is finished off with some cherry cold foam and some cherry crunch topping. 

Lavender beverages

But if you’re a fan of the Lavender Beverages, they’re still up for grabs. Here’s the lineup, just in case you haven’t tried them yet:

  • Iced Lavender Cream Oatmilk Matcha – It combines the chain’s creamy matcha and oat milk as it is served over ice. The matcha drink is then topped with floral notes of lavender cream cold foam. 
  • Iced Lavender Latte – This drink features a subtly sweet taste plus a smooth Starbucks Blonde Espresso. It’s also combined with oat milk, ice, and notes of lavender. 
  • Lavender Crème Frappuccino Blended Beverage – A blend of floral lavender along with milk and ice, vanilla syrup, and a generous amount of whipped cream. 
Jalapeno Chicken Pocket

That’s a whole lot of drink lineup for one season! But hey, if you’re hungry for a quick lunch, Starbucks also released the new Jalapeño Chicken Pocket as a permanent menu. That’s right; you’ll get this pastry that is packed with some diced chicken, charred poblanos, green jalapeños, three-chile-pepper cheese, and a jalapeño cream cheese. All of them are wrapped in a toasted flatbread of chile lavash. 

Do you know what goes well with your Jalapeño Chicken Pocket? The TRUFF Original or Jalapeño Lime Hot Sauce, of course! You can get one free packet when you order a breakfast sandwich, breakfast wrap, egg bites, bakes, lunch sandwiches, or Pockets. The TRUFF sauce features a black truffle blend that gives off heat and extra flavor to your meals. You can ask your server to when ordering in-cafe or drive-thru by choosing to customize via the Starbucks app or delivery partners. Hurry, they’re not here forever, as they’re only available in participating stores until supplies last.

From The Club

As a strawberry lover, this 2025 Starbucks menu has got me excited! I’m a huge fan of Starbucks cake pops, so you better give me one of those Strawberries & Cream Cake Pops. Also, the Strawberries & Cream Starbucks drink holds a special place in my heart since it’s one nostalgic drink that I used to order when I was a kid. I actually don’t know if the drink is related to the cake pops, but hey, I’ll still grab a stick or two!
