Whether you're ready or not, pumpkin spice makes its St. Cloud return this week.

Starbucks announced that they're bringing back their Pumpkin Spice Latte a little earlier that usual (then again, isn't it always earlier than usual with anything pumpkin?). Ahead of Labor Day Weekend, Pumpkin Spice Lattes will officially be available Tuesday, August 28.

If you prefer your pumpkin spice colder, Dairy Queen also announced the return of their Pumpkin Spice Blizzard starting September 3. Soft serve vanilla ice cream blended with real pieces of pumpkin pie and topped with whipping and nutmeg almost, almost makes it sound appealing except for...you know...the pumpkin spice part (which, I know, is the whole point).

No word yet on when Caribou Coffee will begin offering pumpkin-inspired items.
