Here’s How To Order A Pumpkin Spice ‘Cinderella Latte’ From Starbucks’ Secret Menu

Posted
and last updated

The Pumpkin Spice Latte is an autumn classic, but did you know that there’s a secret twist on this Starbucks mainstay? It’s known as the “Cinderella Latte” and it may just become your new go-to coffee drink.

In 2018, the underground beverage started to make the rounds on social media. Its creation is usually credited to Instagrammer @HappiestTeesOnEarth, who whipped up the recipe, along with other Disney-inspired drinks, when she worked as a barista at the coffee chain for seven years.

OK, so what exactly is the Cinderella Latte? To order one, ask for a Pumpkin Spice Latte with White Chocolate Mocha Sauce substituted for half the pumps of Pumpkin Sauce. A grande PSL has four pumps of Pumpkin Sauce, so you’ll end up with two pumps of Pumpkin and two pumps of White Chocolate Mocha.

The name Cinderella Latte refers to the coach that’s the vehicle of choice for the Disney princess in the movie.

Last year, the former barista gave the lowdown on the secret menu item in an Instagram post:

And when she made a return to the Starbucks she used to work at, she surprised the employees by revealing that was the store where the Cinderella Latte was first created:

Yesterday I had the happiest experience at the @starbucks I used to work at. I pulled up to the window and the barista and I started visiting about Cinderella Lattes. She very excitedly told me “they’re all over the internet!!” It was in that moment I realized she had no idea of my connection to her shop or the Cinderella Latte. You should have seen her face when I told her she was working in the shop where the magic began 🎃✨ Now I’m sure she’ll be telling everyone about the Cinderella Latte and the shop it all began in. – Try one today and tag me!! ✨ Order a PSL in your favorite style (hot, iced, Frappuccino, Americano, Pumpkin Cream Cold brew, or even hot cocoa!) ✨ Ask your barista to sub 1/2 the Pumpkin Spice pumps with White Mocha! or if you have a sweet tooth like me try full pumps of both!! – 📷 @stelladot_stylist_stacy posted this beautiful piece showing Cinderella’s coach as my magical latte. I need this framed in my home!! 🎃✨😆 – – – – – #cinderellalatte #psl #starbucks #disneyfoodie #disneyprincess #leafrakerssociety #tobeapartner #greenapron #starbuckstumbler #starbuckscups #starbuckslife #barista #disneyfoodie #disneylife #disneylifestylers #cinderella #disneygram #disneyig #instadisney #mainstreetusa #disneyobsessed #disneysmc #disneymom #disneysmmoms #disneystyle @ilanatacobelle @wdwnt @abc7la #abc7eyewitness #abc7la #disneystarbucks #komo4 #king5 #kiro7

If trying the drink is not enough, you can also shop PSL-inspired gear from the former barista’s own T-shirt line. She even has a shirt based on her signature latte! It’s available for $25.95 on her site.

As described in the picture above, “These tees sparkle with magic, literally!”

The shirt is blue (just like Cinderella’s famous dress) and features white lettering sprinkled with glitter. The pumpkin spice topping includes hidden Mickeys. You can also see the Fairy Godmother’s wand peeking out from the whipped cream.

It’s the perfect tee to wear while drinking the Cinderella-style Pumpkin Spice Latte this fall!

Some have even been able to enjoy the Disney-style drink while at Disney, as pictured here:
