It may only be August and it may technically still be summer, but everyone’s favourite hot drink is returning to the menu at Greggs from tomorrow.
That’s right, pumpkin spice latte season is nearly upon us.
Although August still spells summer for many of us, there’s no hiding the fact that we’ve been under some gloomy skies with heavy rain here in Greater Manchester this week, so in reality, it couldn’t be a more ideal time for Greggs to announce that its Pumpkin Spice Latte is back at stores nationwide from tomorrow.
Starbucks may be the place that most people associate with and head on down to for the classic autumn drink, Greggs’ version is always cheaper than its counterpart.
And apparently, it hits the spot just the same too.

The popular bakery chain took to its official social media platforms this morning to confirm the return of the drink, admitting: “It might still be summer, but it’s time to spice things up… Pumpkin Spice Latte is back in Greggs shops from tomorrow.”

Poking a bit of fun at the out-of-season unveiling of the drink, Greggs announced the news alongside some promotional pictures of two people sat on deckchairs on the beach, dressed in summer attire, surrounded by floats and beach balls and toasting a pumpkin spice latte.

As with all of its coffee drinks, Greggs uses a blend of Fairtrade Arabica and Robusta coffee beans from Peru, Colombia, and Tanzania – which are slow-roasted to create a delicious flavour.
While the price of a regular-sized Pumpkin Spice Latte at Greggs varies and has not been confirmed for this year, last year, it started at just £1.95 per cup, and that meant it was around £1.35 cheaper than the Starbucks version.
It’s predicted that the price of the drink will have risen this year.
Fancy nipping to your nearest Greggs for a PSL tomorrow then? You can find your closest branch using the store locator here, and you’ll also be able to find out the opening times too.

John Stones is leaving Manchester City after a decade
Danny Jones
Manchester City defender John Stones has revealed he will be leaving after nearly a full decade in sky blue at the end of the season.
The England and Man City defender has lifted pretty much everything there is to win at club level, being part of the ‘Centurions’, Treble-winning and four-in-a-row sides.
John Stones signed for City back in August of 2016 and has gone on to be part of their greatest-ever period of success under Pep Guardiola, not to mention becoming a mainstay in the national team during that time.
Sharing a moving video on social media, announced the decision that will see him depart after the best part of 10 years this summer.
Having made nearly 300 appearances for the Cityzens, he will leave the Etihad as one of their most decorated players, with a tally of 19 major trophies, the same number of goals and nine assists during his time with the club.
That being said, depending on how the remainder of this 2025/26 campaign goes, all of those stats could improve even further.
Writing in an official statement of their own, Man City went on to say: “Armed with wonderful technique, a sublime passing range allied to a superb work rate and astute reading of the game, Stones was in many ways the very embodiment of Pep Guardiola’s City.
“Such was his natural talent and tactical flexibility that Stones’ City career later saw him often deployed in a hybrid role, which saw him move into the middle of the City engine room to great effect, not least in the 2023 UEFA Champions League final…”
He is now set to leave as a free agent this June.
John Stones will leave Manchester City in the summer, bringing an end to a memorable and hugely successful ten-year stay.
They sign off by adding that “the Club and all of our supporters will take the time to deliver a fitting tribute and farewell to a superb servant of Manchester City Football Club at the end of the season.”
Following rumours of his departure in recent weeks and months, a number of clubs across Europe are already thought to have expressed interest in a transfer for the 31-year-old.
Some of the names floating around the Yorkshire-born centre-back’s signature include AC Milan and Bayern Munich; there have even been some hints at Everton attempting to re-sign him.
Where does he rank among your favourite City stars of all-time, Blues?
