Autumn is so very nearly here, even if we have to work through the 30C UK heatwave first, and the likes of Starbucks, Costa, Pret and Greggs have unveiled their seasonal menus.
Pumpkin spice lattes have become as synonymous with autumn just as gingerbread lattes signify the festive season.
And it's not just PSLs we have to look forward to – warming soups, cheesy toasties and spiced beverages are all about to make their way into our lives.
Here are the new autumn menus from Costa, Pret, Starbucks and Greggs.
