Summer may not be over in the northern hemisphere, but Starbucks is (SBUX) say it’s autumn when you enter their stores.

The coffee giant made Pumpkin Spice Lattes available Thursday along with its full fall menu, the earliest it’s ever released.

Starbucks (SBUX) also introduced a new drink, Iced Apple Crisp NonDairy Cream Chai. Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew and Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai are also returning.

Starbucks beverage developer Rosalyn Batingan said the new apple drink “perfectly captures the taste and feel of fall.”

“We combined creamy oat milk with hints of cinnamon, cloves and other warm baking spices from our chai tea to complement the layered flavors of apple, cinnamon and brown sugar that are infused into the non-dairy cold foam topping,” said Batingan.

News of the early fall menu comes at an inflection point for Starbucks, which has seen sales decline this year in the U.S. and abroad.

The Seattle chain replaced its CEO Laxman Narasimhan with Chipotle (CMG) CEO Brian Niccol earlier this month, while activist investor Elliott Management pushed for change.
